this laptop was fairly new when it started to run extremely slow. its a satellite C655d-S5200.
system check says it come fitted with AMD C-50 CPU @1.00GHz and 3gig of installed RAM.
the system boots relatively ok. nothing to be concerned about but running applications can be a drag. takes a while to open n system hangs frequently. even typing this post it just hangs.
someone had installed m$ win 7 ultimate, but i reverted to win 7 home premium activating using genuine win key. (took a good while to install).
still running slow.
NB: when i got this laptop it showed signs of being dropped. also when i use a live CD to boot the HDD does not come up. also, whenever i connect the HDD using external cable, it doesnt come up either. strange as it runs in the laptop.
i'm wondering if the system needs some driver of the sort? or bad HDD? whats your take???
