By Alex Smith


There is nothing stressing like using a slow computer to work with. It turns out to be so boring up to a point where one can crash it down to ashes. This is no longer a major problem since there is a way out in knowing what to do about a slow computer.

This condition can be associated with some ordinary causes. There are a number of factors that causes a computer to perform slowly. Lack of enough space in the hard drive is one of them. For any type of machine, whether a laptop or a desktop, enough space is required for it to perform well. Programs need a big space which is usually located in the hard disk. These programs are the ones which enable the machine perform well and therefore need enough space. To meet this requirement one can buy an external hard drive or delete idle programs.

Overheating of the processor is as well a cause. A solution to this is to avoid dust and dirt getting into contact with the machine because these are some reasons why it may overheat and as a result run slowly. By preventing this it will not overheat and thereby perform normally as intended.

Removing idle unwanted and idle background programs is also another important measure. Usually there are those programs that are idle and are to some extent responsible for hanging of the machine. The best thing to do is to completely remove them for better performance of the device. In addition it is a wise thing to use a genuine version of the operating system.

Using a corrupt one can as well be responsible for the poor performance of the machine. Most people evade from buying genuine operating system since they are a bit expensive. What most of them do is buying pirated copies which results to problems after being installed in most computer systems. Therefore it is better to make the sacrifice of buying genuine operating systems.

The most common solution to a computer running slow is by rebooting it. This helps the machine to refresh and clear all idle programs that makes the machine to hang. It should therefore be done time after time when the device experiences such conditions.

With the above mentioned causes and solutions among others, one can now know what to do about a slow computer. These are some of the steps one can take but there are others. A good machine helps one work comfortably, fast and also enjoyably.
