Start up go-slow

spindlewoody · Apr 10, 2013

All of a sudden my PC has gone on a go-slow on start up. The only remedy I have found is to disable all start up programmes and then open them manually as required. Is this a common problem as it only started yesterday out of the blue? Start up was taking at least 5 mins before disablement. Apprecite ay advice. Thanks

Hi

Run a hard drive test in DOS... HIRENS BOOT CD etc, it sounds like a failing hard drive... do NOT do this if you have an SSD...

All the best Brett

Try to test your hard drive with diagnostic software to see whether it is healthy:

Otherwise, you have to replace it.
