| 1190534 | 2011-03-30 09:37:00 | Did you check the HDD SMART? Did you check that DMA was enabled on the HDD? |

| 1190535 | 2011-03-30 09:38:00 | No. I'll see what he says after he defrags it then reboots | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1190536 | 2011-03-30 18:58:00 | Were there any errors in the event Viewer / System logs ? and what about Windows Reliability monitor - Was that checked - there is quite often hints or causes listed there, especially when its lagging then comes right. ???? I wouldn't be to concerned about disk defrag - windows 7 has it auto set to do weekly, unless you disable it. |

| 1190537 | 2011-03-30 19:29:00 | Well I'll go back in when he decides to come back | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1190538 | 2011-03-30 21:53:00 | If he comes back - if the HDD was failing your defrag might have finished it off... that's why I always do a SMART check before trying anything else, just in case. Case in point, my friends PC was running very slowly, taking ages to do things and freezing - just like the OP said his was doing. Turned out my friends HDD had over 1000 reallocated sectors with more coming all the time. Lucky I got to it when I did and was able to recover most data (not all, some had been lost when he had reinstalled windows several times trying to fix the problem) |

| 1190542 | 2011-04-08 20:52:00 | Good idea! | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1190543 | 2011-04-08 23:53:00 | Still reckon you should look at the hard drive health. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
