Computer is slow [Solved]

It is typical behavior for a computer to sometimes become too slow on performance. There are both hardware and software related factors contributing to the matter. Hardware often is easy but costly to resolve, while as software could be challenging to overcome yet can be risky.

Solutions on hardware:

1.      Check to see if the HDD is not full. Your hard drive hosting windows should have space free for windows to process itself without a hustle. If it finds that the HDD is in full capacity, somehow the speed will reduce. If you have multiple partitions and your C: Drive is full, consider removing personal data out of the C: drive to free up some space. You can technically resort to expanding the drive storage capacity as an alternative to solving the issue.

2.      RAM shouldn’t be smaller to what you’re doing. For instance, a data typist uses Word and Excel mostly, Google chrome always open and the company software that only uses 13MB of RAM, her computer will need and function easy with a 2GB RAM. But then a student wants to use a media player, open chrome and Firefox to do her research while she’s taking notes on word. Her computer runs college software that are active on the RAM, then she needs atleast double amounting to 4GB. A gamer for that matter will take from 8GB upto 32GB. See a technician about RAM fittings.

3.      Processor: if it has too much to process, it shares its strength til it can’t respond and you start now to get (NOT RESPONDING) on other programs. The easy way out there is to eliminate all processes that are not necessary to run at that instance. To do; go to Task Manager>Processes>click on process and click End Task.

Common processes to end to run windows faster

·         COM Surrogate

·         Teamviewer (running as a background program) if installed

·         Anti-virus attached software

·         Any programs running

If your processor is below i3, consider changing it. If you don’t understand what i3 i5 i7 is, consult Dr. Google or better an IT Tech.

Software related solves

1.      Programs

Avoid and remove any software that run at the background all the time. They consume memory and processing capacity while you do not notice. Avoid installing software with requirements exceeding the computer you have. Running two to three programs at a time and closing those not in use at the time.

If all these do not resolve, then you need to take your PC for repairs.
