Factory version Sony Vaio VGN-SZ750N; vintage late 2009. Wife's computer, not used much other than web surfing.
Very slow, had to force it to shutdown with power button multiple times today to get it to boot up.
Task manager shows all user and system apps combined using no more than 10-20% CPU time.
Every 2-3- seconds Hard drive light comes on for about 1 second then goes out, Hear single click when light goes out.
Deleted IE internet cookies, internet files, and history.
Norton security active. Ran Norton disk optimization today.
No improvement.
I do not know what the problem is or how to fix it.
I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks!
