    3 days ago, I lost power on laptop. SAGER NP5160, 8gb Ram. Battery wont hold charge, so its always plugged in.
    After this happened, rebooted and it went througj 2 Chcdsk operations.
    Ran fine for a day , but now its slow as hell. Not responding, click on programs, take several minutes before saying, Not Responding.
    Task manager shows svchost 193000kb, and cpu 0 to 3% max. 25 to 30 ram being used. Hard drive not really on full, as its going on n and.
    Is there a program that I can use that tells me what is causing thiz massive lag?

    Check the HDD using CrystalDiskInfo. It's possible that the drive is damaged.

    I did a chkdsk /r and it showed something in WININT? that sectors were dying. This was from someone else reviewing it with me..
    So, I bought a 500GB WD Blue SSD, adapter and I will clone it and put in my 5160.
    I have a Cable Matters docking port that I supposedly can clone it from. We shall see.
