I have a brand new ASUS N76V laptop. The specs are:
Intel i7 2.4ghz 3rd gen
8gb RAM
Two 1TB hard drives--5400 rpm (Two partitions each)
GEFORCE GT 635M (2gb) graphics
Windows 8
The computer has not been running as fast as expected. The primary issue is data transfers and opening new programs. I know that 5400 will now be as fast as a SSD, but often when I open a program the HD goes up to 100% in the task manager performance section. The disk transfer rate also only goes up to about 10 mb/s, and is sometimes as low as 1mb/s. I downloaded a benchmark program which said I should be getting more like 55 mb/s. Both RAM and CPU stay below 25% when opening programs and during disk transfers.
I'm leaving for college in two weeks and I would like to know if there's a quick fix for this or if I need to send the computer back for a replacement/repair.
On another note, I may install my own SSD to replace one of the hard drives, but I think I should resolve the issue in case of faulty components before I replace any hardware.
Any advice on this would be helpful, but if it is the manufacturer's fault, I don't want to use any third party software to fix this or do anything to jeopardize the computer itself or the warranty.
Thanks
