Suddenly extremely slowed down on well-maintained computer
Hello,
I've had my Lenovo E530 with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit as my "server laptop" for 1 year and half about now.
As of yesterday, the entire computer seems to respond extremely slow, here are few key features that I would like to inform you:
1. There is Kaspersky Internet AV and firewall active, with full scan every week. It was performed the day before.
2. There is Spybot-2.* anti malware/spyware manual scan every week
3. The laptop is updated everyday if there is anything there
4. Specs:[
2.5Ghz dual core, 4 threads
10GB RAM, 1600Mhz
Factory HDD, 500GB 7200RPM(My suspicion is here)
]
5. The computer is dusted and cleaned weekly. This is my "server" laptop and I do maintain the computer properly, I am quite clueless what else is there to do.
I have ran all hardware scans provided with Lenovo, none found and The computer is too slow to even perform defrag. I recall having similar issues with my Lenovo T410S when HDD was failing, but on T410S, files were actually going missing.
I just stopped myself from doing a factory reset on E530, any suggestions on what else to try/do?
