Using Win 7 excruciatingly slow - help or advice sought
My HD died awhile back and thought I'd put in a new SSD and see if I could try to recover files from it. Formerly XP Pro machine.
Thought I'd install Win 7 Ultimate as I'll be doing a new build soon.
Here is what's occuring:
- WEI is 3.6
- Boot up and shut down quite rapid
- Firefox starts fast
- waiting for sites to load very slow
- switching browser windows very slow
- clicking Start and Computer takes around a minute
- typing words in Google search bar takes upwards of 30 seconds to appear
- streaming siruisxm radio sporadic
- couple of BSOD - last one Bad Pool Header
I've read that many people have had success using Win 7 with hardware similar to mine but this kind of performance is ridiculous.
Not sure if other than ancient hardware it could be a driver or some other issue.
WEI
Processor 3.6
Memory 4.6
Graphics 5.9
Gaming GFX 6.9
Primary HD 5.9
