Solve : PC So slow?

Answer»

My Pc is running so slow all of a sudden and i dont know why. Granted its not the fastest Pc by any means but it was running fine yesterday and now its so slow to react to even opening a song in media player or opening a file. Ive run some spyware and error fixing programs and restarted my Pc but its still really slow. Any suggestions?

  • Scan for Viruses, Spyware and Trojan Horses
  • Defragment Hard Disk Drives
  • Scan registry for faultry entries
  • Remove redundant files
  • Empty Internet Explorer cache, cookies and downloaded files.


If you have questions related to the list written above, do not hesitate to post your INQUIRIES.Thanks for the advise. I did all those things but for some REASON its still so slow. The only thing i can think of is my hard drive space or lack THEREOF. I only have a 40 gig hard drive and i download a *censored* of a lot and the last few days it was down to like 400mb but i deleted files and its now bout 6 gig. I thought that hard drive space didint have anything to do with computer speed though, am i mistaken?? Quote

It depends on how you use that Hard Disk Drive space.

Question:

1. What scanners have you used?

I have used Avast, Pc Bug doctor, tuneup uttilities and microsoft antispyware.May I advise the following scanners:

AVG Free
-- Excellent [free] anti-virus scanner.
Registry First Aid
-- A very good registry scanner. The website may look very amateurish, the SOFTWARE is quite dependable. Trial version available.
Trend Micro
-- Free online virus scanner.

Optional:

Zone Alarm Free
-- Optional, but highly recommended if you have no firewall installed.

Suggestions:

1. Run the scanners described above.
2. [Optional] Install firewall
3. Clean the inside of the system case.
-- For more information on cleaning the computer hardware see this  article. Do not forget to read through this article as well.
--- Excessive dust build-up may cause fans and heatsinks to become blocked and obstruct airflow resulting in lower system performance.
I think i may have fixed the error, i didnt even think to clean inside the computer, im using my OLD one for all mhy internet and downloads and it has a huge hole in the back so i think that may have been the error because of all the dust. Thanks alot for all your help!! much appreciated.
