Runs slow after a few days.
Hi guys, I guess it's time to ask for help in this one. I bought myself a new laptop around 2 years back, and it hasn't exactly worked out.
For the first year, everything went well, was pleased with and everything was dandy. Around February time though, things turned bad. After booting up quite fast, around 10 mins after being on, it suddenly would turn very VERY slow, to the point where it was unusable.
Fine, I thought, I'll have to do a clean install. Didn't help. This is where the problem lies. After a clean install, it works fine for around 3 days, then becomes sluggish again. I've run countless hardware tests, and they never turn anything up. I had Ubuntu installed for a few months, and that never experienced the problem, so it's just a windows thing. System restore also does nothing.
The laptop in question is a toshiba L300D-13s:
Toshiba L300D-13S AMD Turion X2 Laptop A1/PSLC8E-0 - Laptops Direct
Sorry for the link to the specs, but I'm typing this on my iPod because the laptop is currently unusable.
Any help would be appreciated.
