Computer running like a slug!

[The Cisco Kid]

Having some serious issues here!

We just tripped a breaker in our apartment, which my PC was connected to. We've had this happen before, but for some reason now the PC is running really really slow! It takes forever to load and once it does odd things are happening. I've had the PC overclocked for some time now. I brought the OC down after the outage, but it is still running awful. Any one have a clue as to what is wrong? Could us tripping the fuse destroy or damage a component? Is there a way to determine what component is damaged?

Thanks!

HD.

HD.

Yeah I'm starting to think that may be it. Loading programs and anything else is painful. I just opened a word document and it was like pulling teeth!!!

I'm also getting frequent pauses in games.

Pulling teeth is not that bad. You just have to do it right.

Haha true!

Well it's certainly the HD. Vista just gave me a HD failure warning and I'm in the process of backing up my files.
