Ok so the last couple of days,My computer has been running really slwo when I cut it on.
I ran my virus protector,No viruses were found,I ran my spyware/adware thingy no viruses were found. Do any of you guys know what the problem could be,And its not because too many programs are on it or its old because its fairly new. Please Help! |

How much ram do you have? How much video ram do yo have? Is your video ram shared? Have you downloaded a lot of programs or installed a lot?
RAM (Random Access Memory) basically lets you multitask. The less you have, the harder it is to multi task. When you install something it can put its own little registry bit in and part of it (be it automatic update or whatnot) starts when your computer starts. When you get a whole ton of programs going at the start of windows (I assume you have windows) then the RAM starts getting used up. To fix: >Start Menu >Run >Type "msconfig" >go through the far right 2 tabs, and get rid of anything you recognize and don't think you care for (i.e. qttask, itunesupdate, etc etc) |
