New Installation- Windows 7 Stuttering/Lag
Hey All,
I am having a pretty frustrating issue I am hoping someone can help me with!
I own a MacBook pro that is dual booting Windows 7 with bootcamp. Up until about 3 months ago I haven't had any issues. I run my Windows 7 partition about 99% of the time. However, in late November I noticed my computer would start to stutter. That is, no matter what program I was in (Firefox, Word, Outlook, watching a movie..didnt matter), what ever action I would do would freeze for a second or two followed by it catching up to itself. This is the case for the mouse if I was moving it, a webpage scrolling, or typing an email response.
I originally thought it was just a virus and decided to wipe my hard drive and just start over. I reinstalled Windows 7 again, and I instantly knew my problem hadn't resolved itself. It is incredibly frustrating and is definitely affecting my productivity.
I have tried everything I could think of to fix the problem- updated all the drivers I could think of, reinstalling the operating system again, etc. Does anyone have insight as to what might be causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thank you!
EDIT: This stuttering problem is also happening on my Mac partition (although to a lesser extent), leading me to believe it may be a hardware issue. I ran a couple of different hard drive tests, but they all came up as passing. Any other hardware that might cause this?
