So I am normally ok with these kind of things, and enjoy the elimination process of finding the issue and learn a lot from this method as-well!
However, i have Dell Inspiron 1520...INTEL CORE DUO CPU T7250 @2GHZ 2001 MHZ, 2 CORES 2 LOGICAL PROCESSORS. It started running very sluggish and slow lately with simple tasks becoming very slow (folder opening etc) and i have always had a worry about the inferior Samsung HDD that came with it originally (clicking and beeping problems etc) so i upgrade to a Hitachi 500gb, at the same time i changed the Ram from 2x1gb to 2x2gb hoping with both of these the problem would go away. After the hardware installation and a fresh install of windows 7 i was happy it had seemed to have been solved....but no, today its returned (slow,sluggish.unresponsive) but after a restart it takes from around 5 mins to 30 for it to start. Im at a loss as its my main laptop and is used daily,i dont want to walk into Pc world and hand her over So what else could i do? could it be the processor? motherboard? its killing me!!
