    Is my hard drive dying?
    Just lately my PC has been running amazingly slow,I've been through it with various reg cleaners,anti virus programs and system optimizers but with no luck,so I resorted to formating and re-installing,bingo,problem solved,or so I thought,over the next couple of hours my PC has gradually started to decline again:confused: is it dying a slow death or could there be another problem?
