New Installation Running Unusably Slow
I just did a clean install of Windows 7 from a legitimate copy of Windows 7 professional (obtained on academic license through MSDNAA). However, it is running unbelievably slow. It works, but whenever I launch an application or really do anything, it sits and waits for at least 10 minutes. The HDD light isn't on, and it doesn't really look like it is doing anything at all.
Any thoughts?
