i have a 2.1 ghz dual core proccesor but all my parts (gfx card etc) are pretty powerful. Do you think it could be my outdated weak proccessor?If you have lag problems during (and after) the Windows installation with legitimate media, it sounds like a hardware or bios issue imho.I understand this is a windows 7 forum xD and I installed windows 8 on my computer. However im still having the CPU problem, I am experiencing severe lag, and experienced the lag throughout the clean install as well (yes, even after wiping my drives and making them "unallocated space" and adding windows 8 ontop after) the install pages were laggy and buggy, and now on my desktop and OS, although it successfully installed (after an extra attempt after an error) I finally thought I had got it. Howveer its still slow?!? what could it be? a corrupted hardrive? do I have to update my bios? please tell me I know its windows 8 now but Im stuck and really need help. I have two hard drives a 320 GB (unallocated as of now) and a 700GB (with the Win 8 on it). Should I try installing and booting the second hard drive see what happens?
Test your harddrive with the HD manufacturers test tool, or use Seagate Seatools for DOS.

If you have a 5400 RPM HD, that will be slower.
