Computer Slow Repair
Three reasons making the computer or the laptop runs slow:
1- Hard drive issue: the hard drive is full or more than 80% full, this issue could slow down the computer, the hard drive seeking time to find the information on the hard drive with 50% capacity or less is faster than 80% Capacity.
2- Memory issue: one of the most important part to make the computer fast and smooth is to increase the memory. When you have many programs run in the background like the Anti Virus, Weather, Printer, Messenger…etc, these programs consume the memory. I suggest 1 GB Ram for Windows XP and 2 GB for Windows Vista. If you add more, that will help your PC to run faster.
3- Virus and Spyware: Viruses and Spyware one of the main reasons to slow down the Computer. When you turn on the computer, the viruses and Spyware run in the startup mode or in the background, it infects Windows files, registry values and internet connection. Spyware record everything you do it online or on the keyboard. It usually sends a report to the hacker with some confidential information about you, some of them try to re direct you to some scam websites. Now after we knew about the reasons, we need to fix this problem without taking the computer to the Computer repair shop.
