Try changing the resolution back to 1152x864?
But tbh, I don't think that changing the resolution would slow your pc...
Only WoW, because it would have to render a bigger area, making it slower, but still...
By the way, if you still have your old noisy harddrive, then try SpinRite as I said before...
