Hi, I have a early 2000's computer running XP that isn't that quickest by any chance but has recently slowed down dramatically. It now lags hugely when opening for example a new tab in chrome, or jst switching tasks in general. The problem happens some time and then sometimes it doesn't. I have run disk defragmenter, checkdisk and done a quick scan for virus using avast. When i did defrag using Auslogics Disk Defrag it gave the hdd stats as normal but had a high spin up time of around 4s. Could this be the problem? Heres the a hijack this log file which if someone could check out that would be great. Also any ideas on what could be happening? Thanks
