Hi

i used to have a core2duo system and upgraded to core i3 2100 and intel dh61ww motherboard and kingston 1333 ddr3 ram. i got 3 hdd

WD green 250 gb sata
WD green 500 gb sata
WD green 1 tb sata

installed windows 7 sp1 64 bit on 1 tb hdd.

install all motherboard drivers i.e inf, ahci controllers, audio, video

now problem is the access time to my hdds have become awe full slow to the brink of system freezing up and explorer windows longer seek time. I checked my hdds using chkdisk and seems drives are ok. What is going wrong. i had the motherboard checked from vendor and with his hdd it works fine. Am in a fix now please help.

I don't blame your PC, WD Green are meant to be slow and power-efficient. :/ Try installing OS on other drives..

checkdsk can't show HDD errors properly always so check your HDD with HDTune app ;-)

Hmm, I've experienced such slowdown once, but it was in Win7 beta days, forgot how I solved it, maybe I reinstalled another beta. :D

anyways, do you have any AV installed?
my cousin experienced such massive showdown on his XP, in his case the culprit was avast AV.
Had to uninstall thru safe mode.

Sometimes on my present Win7 ultimate desktop, whenever I connect my Android Samsung for internet thru USB, the windows taskbar becomes a bit unresponsive. So If you have any USB device attached, remove it and try again.

to repair those bad sectors download HDD utilities from your manufacturers website - HDD manufacturers provide such tools to fix things like this and you can try to fix those bad sectors with those tools . These tools/apps comes in bootable CD images ( you might have to write them on CDs ). Just be patient when the scanning is going on as it will take a long time ;-)
