I installed New 1TB Hard Disk to my computer which is assembled one. When I installed new HDD it was working fine, but after one month my comp became very slow, the CPU usage shows only 0 percent and when I open any program it responds after 5 to 8 minutes. Please let me know what needs to be done to resolve this. Thanks in advance Dudes.

I had a similar problem, what I did was swap out the SATA cable (assuming you use SATA) and it started working again. The speed of which an application opens depends on the drive itself so I would try changing that cable. There is also a possibility that you got a bad drive, but use returning it as a last resort.
