    Activity Monitor Gone?

    Very slow iMac after being unplugged accidentally

    I accidentally unplugged my iMac while it was waking up from sleep. Since then it is dreadfully slow accessing the hard disk (Fusion drive). I formatted the hard drive and installed a new OS. even installing the OS (which should take 13 mins) takes an hour and a half. What could be wrong?
