Hey guys, I've installed Linux Mint 16 onto my Dell Studio 1558 laptop, and it works fine for a while but then it slows down.
It slows so much that it becomes unusable (e.g. taking eight seconds to open the menu; browser doesn't scroll etc.) and I have to reboot.
What could be causing this and how do I fix it? I hear people saying Linux never slows down and doesn't need rebooting, but my system gets so slow that it was quicker to run a live CD!
I know you'll probably need more information but you'll have to ask for it because I don't know much about Linux tbh - I've tried tinkering a bit with dual boot but this is my first single os install.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
