Who in their right mind would want a computer running slow? No computer user would want to experience this, the frequent system crashes, the annoying errors that keep on popping and just poor overall performance of the computer. Whether it's for home or for work, one thing is for sure, a slow computer is annoying, stressful and a hindrance to everything that you do.
So here are steps that you can take for a slow PC fix to stop your computer running slow.
#1 Have you checked your disk or hard drive lately? Did it ever occur to you that this could be one source of the errors and the slowness of your PC? If yes, then you are right. Regularly scanning the different types of files on the computer can avoid viruses or malicious software from sneaking up on you. But still, unorganized files and programs could be the one causing your computer to be slow down.
One way of taking care of this is by using the disk cleanup on your Windows computer. It is a quick fix solution to help the hard disk to function and perform smoothly. With a clean hard disk, the computer would be able to perform its duties more quickly.
Disk cleanup will clean out all the unneeded files that are saved on the hard disk and maximize the free space. It will also delete cookies, temporary internet files, and the junk in the recycle bin. With more space in the hard disk, you can install more useful programs and the hard disk will be so much the better.
#2 The next tip is to fix registry errors. A corrupt registry will be producing a series of errors and will result in a computer running slow. The more invalid entries or keys contained in the registry, the more corrupt the registry is. The frequent freezing of programs and system crashes are both associated with a corrupt registry. It gets worse because as it continues to get corrupt, you would likely experience windows failing to start up at all.
To avoid this as soon as possible and stop your computer running slow use a system and registry scanner. It will make a thorough scan of the computer and registry.
This will then search for malware and stop it. It will then find and remove all the invalid registry keys, the corrupt data and other junk that it will find in the registry and elsewhere on your computer. This will not only protect your computer against malware but will stop your computer running slow as well.
If you discover your computer has suddenly slowed down on you, is generating error messages, or is infected with malware scan it now and make it run lightning fast again.
