5 Reasons Why Your Computer Running Slow? We all have Computer at our home, and it’s hard to believe that the now-ubiquitous computer has been with us for over 30 years. Over all those years, people have been complaining from time to time that their computer running slow for one reason or another. That has sometimes been accompanied by much pulling out of hair in frustration, and it is as common as it was 30 years ago. Let’s look at the causes and solutions of why your computer running slow #1 YOU ARE OVERPOWERING IT As software becomes ever more sophisticated and powerful, it tends to make increasing demands upon the hardware platform hosting it. Now you can't generalize about these things but if your PC is, say, three or four years old or more. There is a fair chance that the latest versions of the software are asking it to do things, it is not perhaps really capable of. Even if it can do what's required, it may struggle to do so quickly and efficiently. #2 IT IS WORKING OUTSIDE IT’S PERFORMANCE ENVELOPE: A slight variation on the first theme arises when you have purchased a relatively low-end computer and have placed on it some extremely complicated and resource-hungry software. It's a bit like trying to take a very basic family saloon car and asking it to perform well in a Formula One race. In both this and the first case, you may be forced to consider upgrading your equipment. #3 HARD DISK IS FRAGMENTED Fragmented Hard Disk doesn't mean that it is physically broken just that, for very good reasons, lots of data that should be logically stored in the same location on the disk is, in fact, spread over lots of different locations on it instead. Try and look something up, your hard disk is working far harder (and therefore more slowly) to find the various bits of data you need. The answer to this is to run what's called a disk defragmentation program. #4 VIRUS OR MALWARE In the absence of any obvious other cause, the classic symptom of some types of virus infection can be a Computer that is running very slow. You can use the Task Manager to get at least some idea of what is going on inside your PC. #5 SECURITY SOFTWARE ISSUE Sometimes individual programs, security, and firewall systems are often culprits here, consume very significant amounts of your computer resource while they are trying to do something such as a full virus scan, etc. your progress will be badly impacted. If you will try to do things at the same time, will result in slow computer speed. It isn't always easy to diagnose unless you know a little bit about how your Computer works and you might need to contact a specialist provider. Unless you are technically literate, you might struggle to do so, and that's why having a relationship with a good provider of IT support services is a smart idea.
