Win 7 Slowed WAY down
Guys,
I am having a problem with my PC that maybe you can help me with.
Yesterday all of a sudden everything slowed WAY down. It would take 2-3 minutes for the system to respond to anything. Resources were at 75-100%. A problem like this is hard to work on when it takes so long for anything to happen.
I went in to msconfig which took five minutes to load and deselected all startup programs and rebooted. Everything looked good. System resourses went down to 2-5 %. I went into Explorer to check my e-mail and everything was working normally at first and then the system slowed down again.
How to solve this? It's hard to try different things since it takes so long for anything to happen.
Something is loading that is causing the problem. How to find which one? I hesitate to end programs since I am not sure which ones do what.
I have Win 7 which has been working great for over a year.
I just went through the msconfig process again and this time when the sytem came back up system recourses went immeiately to 75-100%.
What do you think?
Thanks!
