Ok guys, just to give a little discription on my laptop
HP Dv6 6135dx 15.6
AMD A8 3500m
8gb ram
original 650 hard drive or whatever size (I forgot).
13.2 amd beta drivers
Originally windows 7 laptop.
I bought Windows 8 a while back when it was on sale, reformated fresh, and installed it with no prior OS after wipe.
Was decent, but now I realize it is slow, when opening programs, or switching between desktop applications (like pulling Word to top of desktop (when its behind the browser etc).
it is just slow alot. I can't imagine hard drive failing. I run defrag, smart defrag 2. System is overclocked via Kstat, but overclock ran very good in win 7 no problems or bsod.
Power settings in High performance mode . I occasionally run msconfig to clean out any unnecessary junk in start up.
I also removed AVG premium just because I read that third party anti-virus may slow down windows 8, but still it seems to be slow.
When playing flac audio files, I get a slight pause here and there.
When I hook up my USB Audio DAC/sound card, i get the same audio pause in games, yet no pause with onboard sound.
When doing the same with my old desktop on windows 7 , none of those issues exist.
I really feel like it isn't giving all the cpu power, but again my overclock has nothing to do with it, i can disable it and still the same.
Anyone experience these type of issues? I should go back to win 7.
