RUN CCLEANER.
could try: ctrl+alt+delete, and check wats actually using all the computers resources, than wen u find out the name, copy it down, right click it, push end now, if it pops up again, do end process tree now, and than if that dont work, goto search, type in program name, have it find it, delete it, and everything in that folder, all luck
Computer slow due to following reason:
–> Viruses and Spyware
–> Hard Drive Fragmentation
–> Hardware Conflict
–> Too Many Start Up Programs
–> Outdated Computer
follow the givvec steps to speed up your computers
Step 1.
Take time to delete all unwanted programs from your desktop, or other file folders. Be sure you do not need them, and make sure that if you wish to keep them that putting them in a folder would be the better choice than to just keep saving files and documents. Also make sure that when you do delete items, that you will not use them again, and then lastly dump your ”recycle bin”.
Step 2
Do a scan of your computer with an Ad Aware program. This will clean up all of those pesky ads that sites download that you may not even know about. Many times your computer will run faster if this step is done alone.
Step 3
Scan your computer for virus’s. This is a very important step. You should designate one day a week where by your computer will automatically run a virus program for you. By doing this step, you know your computer will be free of nasty virus’s and you will not pass on any of those nasties to any other computer.
Step 4
Lastly take time to defrag your computer. Many of us always forget this. If you have Windows go into your ”control panel” select ”administrative tools” then select ”computer management” Under the tab ”storage” you will find ”disk defrag” at this point you can select which drive you wish to do. Also you can analyze your drives or you can defrag. Suggestion: only defrag after you have accomplished your other steps. This will ensure a clean computer.
Step 5
If the above steps have failed and you do not notice a speed, then you may want to purchase more RAM.
