Good morning, my trusty laptop (Aspire 5332) has suddenly become very slow to start up and shut down. It works okay when it's "warmed up." It makes a slow whirring noise when it's starting up.
I haven't installed any new hardware or software recently, and last night a virus scan was okay.
I've backed up all my files and all the programmes I have are easily re-installabe so was thinking of restoring it back to it's factory settings (that helped last time.)
It's windows 7. Wondering if anyone had any ideas, be gentle, I'm not that computer minded.
cheers,
ginge.
