Laptop still slow even after replacing the HDD!
Hey all!
Replaced the HDD with a new one and obviously installed a fresh os - windows 7. Didn't move anything over from the old HDD, installed all drivers from the laptop site and no programs except for opera browser, and yet...it is still really slow. Extremely frustrating.
If i move fast between tasks, like opening a window or a menu, it takes time to load - the start menu will actually say "loading" for a fraction of a second before the contents show.
Moving between tabs on my browser is an absolute nightmare. The browser will actually freeze with "(not responding)" for a few seconds.
Below are the specs. How can i fix this?
This is the typical state
These programs are recent. Laptop was slow even before installing any programs, except for the drivers.
