The wife's relatively new computer (identical to mine, bought at the same time and still working perfect) is starting to act up. I've run all sorts of stress tests and burnin and other diagnostic software and can't isolate the issue. She's experiencing rather long load times, and during video games she'll occasionally freeze for a few seconds when she normally gets 60FPS.
I'm suspecting harddrive, as I can see how large texture loading taking too long could cause stuttering, and of course if the read speed is slow then program loading would be slow as well. However I am having a hard time getting solid proof that it's the harddrive, and I don't want to spend money and go through the reinstall/cloning ordeal and still have the problem persist.
So, what could be the issue? Any advise on tools for diagnosing, or anything like that? Techniques for testing... anything.
Thanks in advance for the help.
