So for the last 2 or 3 weeks one of my PCs is having an issue where the HDD light will remain solid and the computer becomes incredibly slow. I only use the computer for FFXI, and never get on the internet with it.
It did have low space, but I cleaned up about 60% of the HD and that did fix the problem originally (this was about a week ago), but it just began again this morning after I unplugged everything and cleaned the dust out of the inside.
When it first boots up it seems to be just fine, but the moment I try to do anything the HDD light becomes solid and that's when it slows down. I can't even try to open the desktop icon tray without this happening.
If anyone can offer any insight, I'd greatly appreciate it.
