Hi,
I'm at my parents over Christmas (lucky me), and my Dad has been complaining his PC is very slow, and goodness me, it is.
Initially, it "hangs" on the Asus screen when booting up, then eventually (c.5 mins) boots up, but every process seems laboured.
The CPU was operating around 60% when idle, but when checking the task manager, there's nothing out of the ordinary happening.
I've done a virus scan, ad aware scan, cleared down all his temp files and a defrag, and it's still really slow.
Can anyone advise me further? for the record he has 4GB ram, an AMD64 6000 processor, and a 320 GB HDD, of which he has used around 80GB.
It's running Vista HE.
Thank you xx
