Hello everyone. I´ve recently run into a slow computer and im not sure exactly whats going on. I first thought it was the RAM, as i have an external flash drive, plugged that into the machine, and used that as extra RAM. it worked great to the point where i thought that i just needed to buy more RAM, which i did. i bought an 8 gb and was running with 4gb. however, when the comptuer rebooted, the comptuer was still as slow as ever... i disabled the bootup programs, which didnt make the comptuer run much faster as there werent many programs booting to begin with... i also scanned the hard drive with disc check to see if there was anything wrong there, but to no avail. Thanks in advance for your help!
