Title: Computer unnusually slow (SOLVED)
Post by: Preytor_4 on October 01, 2011, 02:36:58 PM: My computer has become rather slow lately, it used to play YT vids with only 1 buffer, now it takes 8 minutes for a 1 minute video to finish loading.

NFX suggested to defragment C:, but whe I try it gives this error:

And I've tried running chkdsk, and it still refuses to defragment.

Any insight upon this?

I haven't tried any other sites, as YT is my main video website.

a) If you haven't already, run an antivirus scan and a Malwarebytes scan
b) run a pre-boot checkdisk (google it)
c) defragment your hard drive

If that doesn't help:
a) reinstall your OS
b) upgrade your RAM
c) buy a new computer

Did all 3 of those, it appears to work now.
