Computer Suddenly Slow...

Yeah, my 3 computer expert friends say otherwise.
If you are using up to like 50% or more of your hard drive, it tends to start to slow down a tad.

Well I'm pretty sure that it only has an effect if you have a small amount of ram. I don't think the op does, because he's playing Crysis. I'm not a computer expert so I'm probably wrong but oh well.

Same here, but it just suddenly went away as soon as it came.

I only had 1 virus and removing it didn't fix it.

Considering the disk in the hard drive is spinning constantly, when a file needs to be read or modified, the read/write head could be at any random spot which gives an equal chance for the file to be found.

It's a little different when files are fragmented, because then it has to find the file in the FAT.
