    Hi everyone,
    I need some help with the following:
    I own a Toshiba Satellite M55. I bought it some years ago and so far it was working great, but recently (ever since 3 days ago),
    it's been working really SLOW, with the loading screen staying for about 5 minutes and things as such.

    Spyware has nothing to do with this, as I re-booted it yesterday (and even the OS installation took me like 3 hours!!). The laptop is completely clean, software-wise. So, that leads me to think my problem is in the Hardware but I don't really know.

    Help needed!
    Regards and thanks for the reading

    So you just recently re-installed, and it was really slow? Any errors, or just being sluggish overall? Have you defragged your hard drive recently? Check this out as well. :cool:
