Alright, so I'm a former IT Systems Analyst (Glorified tech support junkie).
As such, I've built my family's computers, and exist as the home IT/nerd. My girlfriend's computer is the byproduct of a Windows 7 HP system's components being migrated to a new chassis and upgraded motherboard. Processor and RAM are from the HP. The HDD is a Hitachi Deskstar 250GB I picked up from a spare parts store, and the original WDBlue 1TB has been plugged into the board as a second drive to provide access to the original files (documents, etc.).
But lately, the computer has been running slowly, with Word freezing up, not responding, and even crashing on occasion.
Windows seems to be running normally, but other programs, (including Chrome) seem to be extremely slow to respond to interaction. My girlfriend wants a new computer. I would like to fix it without spending incredible amounts of money on a new machine.
Regards,
