The hard disk takes longer to read a file

If you have been using the drive for a period, the files may be fragmented. Go to [Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter] to perform a disk defragmentation. This operation may take a while.

Interrupt requests or problems with other hardware devices may have occupied the CPU and therefore slows down the system performance.

The files are corrupted

Run the Error-checking utility in Windows to check the HDD. Double-click My Computer. Right-click C: and select Properties. Click Check Now in Error-checking in Tools.

Display Problems

The display panel is blank when the system is turned on

Make sure the computer is not in the Standby or Hibernate suspend modes. The display is turned off to conserve energy in these modes.

The screen is difficult to read

The display resolution should at least be set to at least 1280x800 for optimal viewing.

-Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click the Display icon.

-Under the Settings page, set screen resolution to at least 1280x800 and choose at least high(65536) colors.

The screen flickers

It is normal if the display flickers a few times during shutting down or powering up.
