Hi everyone,
My computer has all of the sudden dropped in performance speed, drastically. After running all the tests and checks I/and various forums could think of, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Yet, I can hardly even use Eclipse; every 3rd character or so that I type results in a 5 second pause, or hitting 'Next' in iTunes takes another 5-10 seconds to start a song.
Which has me thinking that there must be something wrong with my second HDD. My OS and most progrmas are running on an SSD, fast as ever, and my files, and some programs (like Steam games) are on a 2TB HDD.
So, with the previous two examples, Eclipse is installed on the SSD, but the workspace is on the HDD. And, likewise, iTunes is on the SSD, with the music files on the HDD.
And again, this happened very suddenly, not coinciding with any new hardware/software that I know of. For instance, launching a Magic 2014 (installed on the HDD) used to take ~30 seconds. Now it takes ~5 minutes, if at all.
I should also mention that this issue still occurs during a clean boot, with only MS services and AVG running.
I'm sure you'll need more details and specs to figure this out, so please just let me know what!
Thanks in advance
Here's a benchmark that I just ran, doesn't seem *too* bad...
