It takes 6 and 30 seconds to load a .doc document?
This are my system specs:
Motherboard - Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Model EP45T-UD3LR
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz
RAM - 2.00 GB RAM
Display adapter type - ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Total available graphics memory - 1791 MB
Dedicated graphics memory 1024 MB
Dedicated system memory 0 MB
Shared system memory 767 MB
Display adapter driver version - 8.660.0.0
Primary monitor resolution - 1920x1080
DirectX version - DirectX 10
Number of programs installed - Very little. The combined size of Program Files and Windows is about 11GB. So I doubt I installed too many programs.
Security - Norton Internet Security 2010, installed from the first day
Disk Fragmentation - 0% fragmented
System Hard disk - WD Caviar Black 1TB
2nd Hard disk - WD 250GB (i think it is caviar green. i bought it a few years ago when there was no such thing as caviar black)
Program I'm using to open the file - OpenOffice
I was looking at the Windows 7 CPU and RAM widget as I was recording down the time taken. The CPU usage is at around 03% to 07% and the RAM usage is at around 70%.
When I opened a 15KB .doc file on the 2nd hard disk, it took 30 seconds for my computer to load it. I was shocked by this, which is why I decided to test it further and create this thread.
So I then opened a 90KB .doc file on my System hard disk, it took 4-6 seconds to open the file and 1-3 seconds to close. The temporary file took 6 seconds to disappear.
When I went back to my 2nd hard disk and reopened the same 15KB .doc file, this time it took about 2-3 seconds for it to open.
When I opened the Disk Defragmenter to check my fragmentation level, it took about 5-8 seconds for it to open.
Why does it take so long to open the files? What could be wrong with my computer?
