Problem description: With no warning my PC is running at what seems like 1% of its normal speed. The normal initial splash screen to choose a boot device seems fine, but the ASROCK with the spinning load indicator stays up for minutes when it's usually 15-20 seconds to get to my desktop. When it does get to Windows the mouse moves normal speed, but clicking anything takes on the scale of a minute to respond. My wife experienced it Monday, then it booted up fine when I got home. Last night was my first time seeing it run so slowly. I restarted a few times when it was trying to load and ended up at the Windows repair screen. That ran incredibly slowly as well and said it didn't find any issues. Before last night it hasn't been running poorly, crashing, or anything. Attempted fixes: At first I thought Windows wasn't working at all, so I burned a bunch of time trying to make a new install USB. Me being distracted doing that is when I realized it was actually booting, just incredibly slowly. I haven't figured out how to search Google for PC runs slowly without getting a bunch of hits for doing ccleaner type stuff. Recent changes: Windows updates?

I'd disconnect the D drive temporarily and see if that speeds things up. You could also disconnect the video card and try using onboard video temporarily to see if things loads quicker. That would isolate the issue a little more.

Zogo posted:I'd disconnect the D drive temporarily and see if that speeds things up. Got it in one, it seems. It has now booted up normally twice without the D drive. So that thing is toast? Not surprising, if so, I suppose. It was originally from 2013, at best. e: Also one million times, thank you. Very doubtful I would have been able to troubleshoot that on my own under good circumstances, but being on tilt after lovely work Blowjob Overtime fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Dec 23, 2021 |

Blowjob Overtime posted:So that thing is toast? Possibly. There's a small chance the power cable/SATA cable went bad. So you could try connecting it with different cables and to a different port on the motherboard. If it's still slow then you could try connecting it through and external USB enclosure to see if you can get data from it that way. You could also run CDI to check the HD health: https://osdn.net/projects/crystaldiskinfo/downloads/76462/CrystalDiskInfo8_13_3.exe/ Blowjob Overtime posted:e: Also one million times, thank you.
