Okay.  Thank you for explaining that to me.

 

It is still very slow. anything else I can do?

Slow booting?  Slow opening programs?  Slow going on line?  Slow changing websites?

Yes.

Try HD Tune again   See if you still have a smooth curve.

[vatch]

Sorry, thought we had already run HD tune.  I don't really like the big drop in yours and the speed is low.  Sometimes running defrag will help  Close all programs.  Pause your anti-virus.   Open Computer and right click on the C: drive then Properties then Tools, Defragment Now, Make sure the C:\ drive is select and Defragment Disk.  Don't touch the PC until it is done.  Once it completes. run HD Tune again.  

[vatch]

Okay.  Thank you!  Will do now.

I defraged and rebooted and it wouldn't start up.  Never made it to the desktop.  I tried twice then repaired in safe mode... still would not go back to desk top and finally I had to go back to Last known good config.  what is wrong with this PC.  Can it be the processor?  

[RKinner]

Either memory or hard drive problem.  Based on the big drop we saw with HD Tune I'd say your hard drive is dying.  Get Seatools for Windows.
