So.. I've been having some issues for the past few days with my dell laptop, it took a a good 10 seconds for directories to open and google chrome/internet explorer were ridiculously slow. it would take minutes for facebook to finish loading.
Today I decided to figure out what the hell was going on and so I ran Ccleaner, did a full clean, cleared the cache etc.. still slow. Then I downloaded and installed an antivirus, did a full system scan, 0 malware. I was stumped. Then I remembered my laptop beeping really loud on startup last summer and remembered the fix, which was to remove the battery and hold the power button down for 45 seconds then power it back up.
That fixed it. Webpages now load instantly, every directory I open loads up instantly. Can anyone help me understand why the hell this worked? Is my laptop on its last legs? help plz
Just thought I would add that I did in fact restart the computer after running ccleaner for stuff to take effect.
