I have a "gaming" PC that's getting a little dated. Specsa is i5 2500k, GTX 560Ti, P8P67 motherboard, 500GB hdd, 4G ram and corsair h60 cpu cooler and win 7 home premium (not activated due to formatting)
for over a year, my PC has been incredibly slow. Google Chrome uses about 1-2 minutes and load and World of Warcraft can take up to 5 minutes and load the first zone I log on. Also very slow to load zones.
I have "clean" pc for the dust, but not new thermal paste (do not know if that's why) I have formatted my PC, my PC has zero viruses (virus scan) Checked defrag and was nothing there. Have updated all driver!
Have seen again cpu is very warm (about 70 *c in the bios, but appears around 50*c with core temp.
Think maybe the HDD might defect?
Could it be that I have not put on new thermal paste on for two years?
Any help would be awesome thanks. (sorry for bad english)
