so i guess, even the world's fastest pc can still run as slow as an old 1990 pc, right?

Your HDD transfer graph looks MUCH better now, I guess whatever was wrong is now better

If there's something wrong with the software, hardware, or settings - yes.

Yes! I actually learned something here! And I'm eager to learn more!

Awesome. Glad it's all figured out

Great! Now make sure you give that CPU heatsink a good clean when you can.

Re: Dell inspiron 531 4gb ram 64 bit OS running very slowly

I finally got that cleaned, and I also benchmark the second hard drive in the computer with this stats:

I also what to know why my wireless network icon is not showing up on the taskbar like its supposed to.

"1.Right-click an empty area on the taskbar, and then click Properties.

2.Under Notification area, click Customize.

3.Click Turn system icons on or off.

4.For each system icon, click On in the list to show the icon in the notification area, or click Off to completely remove the icon from the notification area.

5.Click OK, and then click OK again."



You might have to turn the icon off and on before it comes back, if it's already enabled but glitched up somehow that it won't show.

Or, it might be hidden under the extra menu, click the little arrow next to the space where it should be, see if it's in there.

thanks for the lnik!

And about this second hard drive... is everything okay with it?

[Agent24]

Re: Dell inspiron 531 4gb ram 64 bit OS running very slowly

The graph looks OK to me, nice and smooth without any large drops in throughput anyway.

As you can see compared to one of your earlier ones where it drops down in many places: http://s16.postimg.org/ok4k7gww5/Untitled.png

Re: Dell inspiron 531 4gb ram 64 bit OS running very slowly

Yes! , but why when I insert this hard drive, every time on BIOS bootup, something in the computer beeps 4 times... then loads BIOS splash screen? then gives me a message saying CMOS battery failed? Even with HD SMART on, it still gives me the message. But I just strike F1 and it boots windows, and everything is quick quick, fast fast. Accept for the wireless adapter icon not showing up.

Re: Dell inspiron 531 4gb ram 64 bit OS running very slowly

And it does not have that battery error when the HDD is not connected?

[Vivi]

Re: Dell inspiron 531 4gb ram 64 bit OS running very slowly

^^ right

Re: Dell inspiron 531 4gb ram 64 bit OS running very slowly

go into the bios and then "save settings and exit" with both drives connected.

btw, what bios version is it?

[Vivi]

Re: Dell inspiron 531 4gb ram 64 bit OS running very slowly

Hi all, I've just recently upgraded my Dell Insprion computer to a Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit operating system, and ever since then the computer's been loading very slow. Very slow, it takes 5 minutes to log into windows, then when it does log in, everything freezes and crashes. it has 4 gb of ram, and all this doesn't make any sense, really.
