Hi guys n girls - long time user of the forum, but never joined! (although thought I had done years ago!!)
I have a home built watercooled PC that is really got to the point of it being thrown out of the window.
It takes forever to sort its self out after boot up - nothing can be used for at least 5 to 10 minutes as it seems to be doing a million things in the background. (in safe mode I can click on Firefox immediately after booting up and it loads up instantly - not in safe mode takes about 10 mins for firefox!).
I also get occasional momentary freezes.
System specs:
OS: Win 7 Ultimate 64bit
Cpu: i7
Ram: 4gb
Mobo: EVGA 3-way SLi
Gpu: 470GTX
Sound: onboard
Case: Thermaltake Kandalf LCS
Also have 4 hard drives connected.
I use Virgin Media's security software and keep it up to date with regular virus scans and also use Adaware.....
Not sure what other info is needed... can anyone throw some ideas as to what to do to try and sort it out?
