I think the issues are past the ability of Gentoo to fix. I already formatted it 3 times and now literally only have itunes and opera installed. This still appears too much for it to handle.

so you havent even tried gentoo yet? let alone linux?
this isnt a babysitting board.

Specs? Just how crappy is your craptop?
>>59307761
Yeah don't post specs, those couldn't possibly be useful

Nothing really to do with the specs, it would otherwise be fine but its literally just dying on me now. Start up takes about 10-15 minutes, everything else is slow as balls, it was fine the past couple years but past few months it shit itself.

We need your HDD SMART stats.
Also pls dust off and repaste your laptop if you haven't done so. That fixed up my friend's 1st gen i7 lappy real good a couple of months ago.
