The hard drive just got changed. I get spikes on Mabi, loading takes longer, opening the computer is longer as well. Seems to only affect Mabi so far.

What's the new hard drive and what was the old one? There are a number of things that could cause this such as wear and tear, fragmentation, and the speed of the hard drive itself.

How do I check on that? I won't remember the old one for sure, but I know it was 5400 r/minute.

By itself the rpm of the drive wouldn't cause these kind of issues, especially if everything was fine at 5400 on the old one.
Is this new hard drive brand new? or refurbished/second hand? Did you do a clean install of your OS onto it or did yu do an image from the old one?

Not sure if it's brand new or not. I'll call the shop when I get home. Made a clean install of Windows 7, but transfered lots of data from USB. It was fine before yesterday.
Also I have an on board graphic card. Doesn't help much. My CPU is fine I think, quad core i5. 6 GB ram.

You should use the Resource Monitor (go in task manager, performance tab, click the resource monitor button) to see what is going on.
Look for things like memory and CPU use, and disk queue/response time.
If that doesn't provide any useful info you might want to consider doing actual hardware testing.

Can't really read what's in there. Seems fixed for some reason. Right now the only lag I have is college connection.

Your hard drive just needed to warm up!

Probably not the hard drive. I dunno.

I think it was just my graphic card being cold.

Last time I erased everything, "Operating System Not Found". So no thank you.

Maybe you did it wrong. Try it again and see what happens

Well if your hard drive is the problem, you might wanna take it out for repairs.
One of the few neat tricks to make them just like new and run faster is to take a large piece of magnet and slide it across the device a few times.
