    Suspect dying HD


    Acer Aspire E55-575 Laptop W10/1903

    Laptop was running slow so I backed up and reloaded Windows 10 from the tool. I didn't save any existing files since I would reload from backup. The computer still seamed slow and took 10 minutes to shut down and 4 to boot. I ran defrag and chkdsk /r /f /x. The computer is faster but still takes 2 - 3 minutes to boot an shutdown takes 3 minutes also. I am suspecting the hard drive, what are your thoughts. Your help is appreciated.

    Download HDtune.
    try a clean boot
    open taskmanager and check out what programs are loading.
    disable any suspect programs.
    Had slow boot myself because of dying HD . Apparently the bios was having a hard time
    finding the drive and assigning a drive letter.
    replaced it with a ssd and now boots normal.

    I always tell people the first thing to do when suspecting a bad drive is to backup the data. After you can do all the testing whichever way you choose.

    Oh, and before downloading hundred's of programs, you could simply start with Windows' built-in tool - Right click the drive, click Properties, click the Tool's tab, under error checking click "Check". Go from there.

    Good luck.
