The temperatures seem fine. Everything appears to be configured correctly, though I suspect Windows 7 might still be causing some headaches. I’m running an unregistered version, and frankly, I have no idea how to go about activating Windows 7 properly.
Larry Ortiz5 said:Just a heads-up, that Core i5 doesn't have integrated graphics. You should probably run a MemTest to scan the RAM, and while you're at it, grab Prime95 to stress test the processor. Try pushing it to 100%—see if it actually hits that ceiling and if all four cores stay pinned at full load. Just let it run for about 10–15 minutes.

Let me know how it goes.
There's no integrated graphics. I ran the tests, but out of the four cores, the first one stays at zero while the others just fluctuate depending on the load.
Elizabeth Alvarez2 said:Maybe your internet connection just tanked on you?
No, my connection is sitting at over 50 Mbps, so everything is running smoothly there. It’s just that every single thing I try to open takes forever to actually load... maybe the graphics card isn't performing quite right. Honestly, I don't know; I'm certainly no expert here.
Andrew Peterson2 said:Hard to say, honestly—it’d feel pretty weird if they weren't using that core. You’ve gotta spread those processes out more evenly, right?
Give this tool a shot since you're running an Intel processor; they've got their own diagnostic thing for this kind of stuff https://downloadcenter.intel.com/dow...iagnostic-Tool
Just throw some screenshots up here so we can actually see what kind of errors are popping up.

Larry Ortiz5 said:Think of a hard drive as just the standard storage you’ve got sitting in your computer right now. An SSD, though? That thing is lightning fast. The big difference is that while a traditional hard drive relies on those little moving parts—basically a tiny needle searching through data—an SSD uses flash memory instead. Because there's nothing physically spinning or hunting around, it doesn't take an eternity to find what it needs. If you made the switch to an SSD, your PC would probably boot up in about 10 seconds, and honestly, everything would just feel much smoother overall.
I found this video on YouTube that does a great comparison between HDDs and SSDs if you want to see it in action.
I went out and bought a brand new hard drive, but it’s still the same old garbage—everything I click on takes forever to open. I even did a clean install of Windows, so I'm wondering if this might be the issue:

Larry Ortiz5 said:It looks like your HDD is slowly starting to give up the ghost—which, honestly, is pretty much expected at this stage. If you don't find yourself needing massive amounts of storage, I’d really suggest making the jump to a 240GB SSD instead. You'll definitely be happier with that upgrade.
So, what exactly does an SSD mean? Does that mean I have to go out and buy a whole new hard drive?
Susan Cruz34 said:Yeah, I did, so what's your point?
http://prntscr.com/frzegxThe software just showed me this, and honestly, I’m completely lost. Is there actually an issue with my hard drive, or am I good? If there are problems, how on earth do I fix them?
Larry Ortiz5 said:So, you already formatted the drive and did a clean install of Windows, and it's still crawling? You might want to check the health of your hard drive using CrystalDiskInfo—it's possible the drive itself is just dying on you. Also, could you list out your full system specs? That would definitely help us narrow things down...

Grab CrystalDiskInfo from this link here.
Yeah, I did, so what's your point?
Hey everyone, I could really use some help if anyone knows what they're doing. Over the last five or six days, my PC has suddenly become incredibly sluggish. Every single click takes a few seconds just to register or open anything. I even tried a clean install of Windows, but that didn't change a thing. I'm running on 4GB of RAM, and up until recently, this machine was flying. I honestly have no idea what went wrong here.
Richard Fox7 said:Does it strictly have to be the IP2000 model, or... are there some alternatives?
I suppose an IP1500 or 1800 would work, but my heart is really set on the printer I mentioned earlier.
Does anyone know where I can track down a new Canon PIXMA iP2000 printer?
