February 10, 2009 Leave a comment
Computers can seem to run slow for many reasons. However, their are many things a user can try to determine the nature of the slowness and what factors are causing it.
Computers that are very old can be expected to seem slow next to a brand new system. However, an older system can be optimized to perform to the best of its ability.
Here are a few common places to look for the reason your computer is slow:
- Lack of Memory
- Hard drive is too full
- Hard drive is too fragmented
- You have a Virus
- You have some spyware that is slowing your system down
- You have your settings up too high
I will elaborate on the above places in the future and give tips on how to determine if you have a problem.
