recently my pc has been really slow.... it most definitely has to be the hdd, things like game load times to certain games not loading at all they just go not responding. And incite would be most helpful :P if there is any good HDD testing utilities out there that would be great. i am soon get a 840 evo but for the time being im stuck with my terrible HDD

CPU: i7 4770k@4.3Ghz GPU: GTX 780ti Motherboard: ROG maximus vi formula PSU: Evga supernova 1000w Platinum

Case: NZXT Switch 810 Memory: g.skill ripjaws X Cooler: Corsair h100i(getting custom loop when i get money next) Storage: Samsung 840 evo 250gb Keyboard: Corsair K95 Mouse: SteelSeries Rival

try defragmenting the main partition (reccommend doing it over 2-5 times) that should clear out the issue partially...

may want to think about boacking up data , might be a sign that the drives failing maybe.

cool. make sure you're using the defrager within windows , aftermarket defrag 'can' be used but with caution as some em can create more problems. (...& sorry for the typo on the above post ^_^ )

You might have a bad sector on your drive. Most drives will try for a long time to read bad sectors unless they're built for NAS applications.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use, and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. - Galileo Galilei
