Hello all, my dad is having issues with an all in one computer he received from pc specialist. It is currently running really slow. It takes about 30 minutes to start up and log in and when running programs it also is a pain to use. It is only a few months old and one of my laptops (with more than half the base specs).
The pc my dad has includes,
8gb ram
Intel core i3 3.6 ghz
1TB HDD (Which is regularly fragmented)
I even ran a multitude of tests on the hard drive (of which all passed including a SMART disk check)
I cant understand why it is running so slow. The laptop I was talking to only had 1gb of ram and a 1.4ghz processor and it was running a lot faster (although it did have an ssd which still sjouldnt make such a difference).
Thank you for any tips given to me.
