    Hi Guys,

    I am having an issue where my m1330 has started crawling (and I mean it literraly). It is configured with a T9500, 4GB RAM, and a 64GB SSD w/ Vista Ult., so there should be no hardware reason for this slowdown. I ran a Windows diagnostic report, and here is the error/cause for concern that I recieved. It is attached as a thumbnail, and hoping that one of you guys would be able to figure out which driver this is and how I can fix it.

    Thanks for your help!

    That is not the reason for your system slowdown.

    If that is a jmicron-based ssd, that would explain the slowness in some situations.

    Have you run any hd benchmarks to see if the drive is performing up to snuff?

    Got a restore point to go back to prior to this "crawling"?

    cheers ...

    Thanks for the quick replies and suggestions. I have run benchmarks with HD Tune, and I am attaching them for your reference. I also tried system restore to a point before all of this started, but the system restore failed. Also, this was a freshly reformated install of Windows. It was working fine just after installation of windows + software, but after a couple of days, it started to slow down to a crawl.

    I turned off indexing as well hoping this would help - but to no avail. Could this be an issue associated with the fact that I installed Office 2007, then removed Powerpoint 2007 and installed just Powerpoint 2003? I mean Outlook 2007 is really crawling now...(I have already tried to autoarchiving).

    I used to be able to restart my system in about 30 seconds. Now the same config is taking about 5 minutes to complete a restart. Any help would be much appreciated.
