Hmm, I just booted it up, and it hung on the Starting Window screen for three minutes.. it's now really slow, I rebooted and had the same thing happen.
RAM and hard drive are OK
Hmm, ok at near idle, 39% memory is used and core 4 is averaging over 70% :S
I have an i5, which is a four core processor
On idle, in task manager Core 4 is always at 70%+ usage, this may be causing my system to hang?
But not sure why
This is almost certainly a hardware issue. Just to make sure, can you try running a Live CD of Ubuntu, and see how it performs?
Download | Ubuntu
Note that it's going to be slower anyway, as it is not a fully installed OS.
Test your system temps with Speedfan: SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer
Also, go into msconfig, and in the Boot tab, select Advanced Options. Make sure the "Number of processors" box is UNchecked.
Still run Speedfan; it's good to get a second opinion.
Not sure of a way to check individual cores, but you can check in Task Manager>Performance, and sort the list by CPU.
Alternatively, you can run perfmon /res from the start menu, and check out the CPU tab.
To tell if the Windows installation is the fault, run the SFC command: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Won't hurt to reinstall, but you may be able to save yourself some time.
Has your problem resolved? I have the same problem on a new Dell laptop with Win7 32bit platform.
It took more than 30 minutes to start an application under Win7 32bit platform. Set compatibility to Winxp SP3 didn't help. After starting up, each click will take ages to get response. Other applications run OK on this computer. And this application runs ok on other Win7 32bit platform.
Thanks for any advice.
