    Could a failing hard drive cause UI lags and terrible loading speeds


    For the past few days my laptop has been close to unusable, the mouse cursor is blinking and the ui is extremely laggy, I’ve scanned my disk multiple times using different methods such as chkdsk, windows security, eset online scanner, malware byte But none of them can seem to detect a problem and this all started suddenly. I also tried to reset my pc but that didn’t work as well and the problem persists in safe mode even after all software updates have been installed plus my task manager shows that everything is working alright.My BIOS diagnosis says that my hard drive is failing but I can’t c

    Terrible Lag Microsoft 5000 wireless on windows 10

    I did the troubleshooting 4 times or more

    I removed the drivers, and reinstalled so many times - not fixed

    I have reinstalled my windows 10 (first time i have keep my files, second time i deleted all files) - not fixed

    Then i formated my hard drive and did a new windows 10 fresh installation - not fixed

    -> LAG LAG LAG

    Longitech mouse M325 ** NO LAG ( U$ 10 )

    Microsoft 5000 mouse model 1387 ** TERRIBLE LAG, cant use (U$ 69.99)

    Will try the steps on mentioned link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/838398

  3. Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

    Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

    Steps to confirm issue:

    • Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
    • Secondary drive not visible in device manager
    • Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

    Steps to replicate issue:

    • Installing 1909 update

    Steps to resolve issue:

    • Uninstall 1909 update

    Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
