Hello,

My computer recently slowed down while I was away for a few hours, its a top computer and its been running great since I bought it.

After coming home the other day I tried to start a program that's located on my other drive (in this case D:) and it said it couldn't find the drive.

To my confusion the disk was gone from "My Computer". I turned the computer off and switched out the cables and turned it back on. The disk was back but the computer has been running real slow, startup is also much slower. (Bios screen)
The thing is, that's my storage drive, I got windows installed on my SSD (C:)
It's significantly slower now, even programs I open which is installed on (C:).

I can still access programs and they seem to run smoothly after a loooong wait (depending on the programs)
but I get random freezes for up to 10 seconds and then back to normal.

I would really appreciate some help here.

Thanks
Sonny


Edit: I scanned for viruses and nothing was found.
