Everything slow after power outage

[Guest]

Several weeks ago, we had a blackout. When I rebooted my PC, everything was
slow. Programs, internet, everything. Looked all over the web for a solution
but found nothing. Wound up reinstalling Windows, and the PC was running like
new again. Two days after the reinstall, we had another blackout, and I'm
right back to where I was before. I've scanned for spyware, defragged the
drive. I'm a novice, so I'm not really sure what else can be checked. I'm in
no mood to do another reinstall, so any help would be great!

Time to first learn what is wrong before dropping "the big
one" on that system. Without facts from these information
sources, then no one can do anything but wildly speculate.
What does Event (system) log say? What does Device Manager
report? What processes (in Task Manager) show excessive use
of CPU time, large memory faults, or other excessive
operation?

Did you install an FAT filesystem or NTFS?

Don't accept free fish. Learn how to fish. Start by first
collecting basic facts.

Maybe it's time for a U.P.S. to be connected to your computer. If you don't
want to reload windows you have few other choices if you suffer frequent
blackouts.

A blackout in and of itself should not have caused your system to slow down.
The abrupt loss of power does nothing more than turning everything off at
once. Power resumption means Windows runs Scandisk at next boot and
everything is fine. You have something else causing the problem.
