Lag Trouble With my Acer aspire 5100

Ok so ive been having hard drive trouble where it says hard drive failure iminent. but I don't think that's my problem. My internet lags so bad on my aspire 5100, like when im trying to watch a streaming video it loads 3 seconds then stops, loads 3 seconds then stops. But when I plug my wifes dell laptop or my desktop into the same connection theres no lag at all. Would this have anything to do with my hard drive?

 

Sounds like you have a virus, i would say, go on to your wife and or desktop and download malware bytes anti maleware, then put it on a cd, load in onto your laptop. then Restart your latop keep cliking F8 on start up and load from safe mode, then let it run a full system scan. My mate had a similar problem and i did this on his computer picked up 37 virus. then, after i removed viruses i ran a system defrag, and if it has done and thing to the registry you can download ccleaner and it fixes registry problems, hope i helped.

 

Only if you have forget on the DVD drive , one no easy to read Media.

 

Perhaps your computer is stalling every time it needs to access the hard drive. If your hard drive is failing, then any time the hard drive is accessed, your computer might freeze for a few seconds.

Do other programs lag? Has boot-up and shutdown time increased? They maybe your hard drive is failing.

Try run chkdsk or some disk checker.

 

I have a similar problem with my Acer Aspire 5100. It will run extremely slow, even stop running, if I don't apply pressure to the area to the left of the track pad. If I apply pressure it picks right up where it left off and runs fine. However, almost immediately after removing the pressure, it slows to a crawl. I have verified the connection of the memory and hard drive. Any suggestions? Thanks!
