I have a SATA Samsung hard disc installed in my ASUS motherboard PC but recently the hard disc has been so slow that it takes 30 minutes to even boot up the OS. I have formatted my PC twice thinking it was due to malware or something but the problem still persists. I am 100% sure that my CMOS battery is fine and working but the time is also hampered, each time I switch on my PC. File transfers and installations in this drive are also very slow. If someone could find a solution, I would be grateful for life....
 
Solution
Run the appropriate testing utility from Samsung HERE to determine if the drive is malfunctioning. You need the specific model of the drive to select from the software on the site.
