Hi my computer has been running smoothly for 8 months but 2 weeks ago after I transported it up to uni it started running slowly. It still takes the same amount of time to boot up to the login screen. Once it opens a program that program runs smoothly: chrome, vlc, itunes, steam etc. However opening these programs can take the computer up to 5 minutes depending on the program. As they run smoothly once open I assumed something was wrong with transferring data from the hard drive to the RAM. I wondered what your opinion was though and whether it is a hardware or software fault. My specs are:
i5 3570k at 4.00ghz
8gb ddr3 1600 vengeance ram
2gb 7870 ghz edition g card
2tb HDD
windows 7 ultimate
any other specs or questions ask and I'll post.
Thanks in advance.
PS as I don't know what the problem is the category may be wrong.
