For the past 2 weeks my laptop has been slow to start, slow to load programs, very low fps in games. Even loading and browsing Tom's Hardware or imgur or the like has been groggy. Both on chrome and firefox.
I thought maybe it was a hard disk failure because it was quite hot when I first noticed the slowdowns but crystaldisk says my temps are fine and I have not heard any clicking or irregular noises.
Then I thought maybe my graphics so I blew out my fans and pretty much the rest of the laptop. Made sure I have the latest drivers and that my computer wasn't trying to switch to the integrated graphics.
I did a windows ram check to make sure that is fine, no problems there.
So I am now stumped. I do not know a lot about computers but I feel the only things left are the Cpu or the Motherboard.
Or maybe it is just on it's last leg? I am open to any and all help, I appreciate your guy's time.
I do not know exactly what information you guys would need to know but I have an alienware m17x r3. i7-2760Qm @ 2.4 that I have never tried to overclock or alter in any way. Windows 7 64-bit . 8 gigs of ram. Nvidia gtx 560m. Then a 320gig Hdd. Please let me know if you need to know anything else
(I'll be at work for the majority of 7/3 but I will check back when I get off. Thank you again)
