Recently my laptop's performance has changed, here's the problem.
When I turn it on, the 'welcome to Microsoft windows XP' screen seems to hang forever (before it used to stay there for a few seconds now, up to 20/30 maybe). Loading takes a longer time. When windows loads, you get thast 'welcome' sound, it has 'jerky' moments, (almost like a scrached CD), or when your game lags. keeps freezing for less than a second.
Everything feels 'jerky' mouse, sound... when I click on Start, the menu loads longer.
I tried playing BF2, but it was not possible, connecting/loading of the map took forever! up to 15 minutes - where as before, it used to take me 2mins max.
Before holidays everything worked fine, when I got back it's all messed up.
any ideas of what the problem could be?
-I had no internet acces over the holidays.
-laptop battery died so the laptop was 'dead' for several days
-laptop has been through the security check (the thing where they see what's inside your back on the TV) about 4 times in total now - could that couse any damage?
-result is, laptop performance is 'jerky'
Even as I was writting this topic up, an listening to music on winamp, the mouse, sound, everything keeps having these jercky/laggy moments very often.
EDIT: just to make it more clear. If you've got a card reader on your laptop. When you insert it, it causes some jerky moments on your laptop to your sound and performances as a whole, just for 1 second while you put a card into your card reader. That is the EXACT jerky performanc I am having on my laptop at the moment.
