System Hanging On Boot and Slow to Run When Loaded ...
Hello,
You guys helped me save my system back in the summer, so I'm hoping you can steer me in the right direction again.
I'm running LXLE and having some weird problems. I recently noticed the system is super slow to load. At first I was giving up and restarting after 10 to 20 minutes of hanging and nothing, but I eventually just let it do it's thing and on this last attempt, it finally loaded successfully after booting for well over an hour. When the system finally did load, I noticed that it's dreadfully slow both on and offline. But once it gets going on a task, it seems to be okay. For example, once I get a YouTube video loaded, the vid plays fine. Of course it's getting there that's kind of a drag.
I should note that I ran a clean install from disc and it runs just fine outside of the usual lag you might expect when running a system this way, which isn't a big deal. This made me think that my hard drive may not be bad after all, which I initially suspected. I also tried to do some troubleshooting in Gparted. I ran the Check function and thought I would get the option to repair the partition in question, but I didn't see it. The check didn't return any problems that I could tell.
Right now I'm scared to even turn the thing off, so I'm just trying to backup everything I can while I got it running in slow motion mode.
I can't recall doing anything special that would cause my system to start going haywire, so I was wondering if you guys had ever encountered something like this.
Thanks for your time.

Computer is almost 3 years old. It runs just fine from Live CD/DVD. Guess I didn't explain that very well, but it loads right up with a disc in. Not getting overly hot from what I can tell.
That's the one. This is a replacement HDD though. The original flopped around this time last year, ironically. And there is Intel inside. I'll run the aforementioned command and see what it comes up with.
