My fathers PC is slowing to a crawl with a new SSD even on fresh installs, within a few days of usage. Apparently no updates/downloads are happening, but he says it is unuseable as it is.

I've suggested looking at the ACPI/IDE Setting in the bios, and chipset drivers (Which he says even from ZOTAC are not for that chip lol).

Any ideas on what to suggest?

Motherboard is Zotac H67ITX-C-E with an i5 2500 and a brand new Crucial CT120M500SSD1 2.5-inch 120GB M500 SATA 6Gb/s. He's running 8GB RAM.

I built the machine and he hasn't had any issues until now, but I'm in the USA (he's in UK), so I am unable to help unless I start doing a hangout/skype with him lol.

Get him to install Team Viewer and remote desktop so you can have a look for yourself if you know what you are doing.

My mother in law lives 12,000 miles away and I do that quite a lot!
 
It took my father less than an hour to get a machine I'd just reformatted/reinstalled infected badly enough to warrant it being done again, just sayin'
