subject: How to Fix Your Slow Laptop? [print this page] Does your laptop soooo slow speed? Or, maybe freezing (locking up), rebooting without reason or perhaps go to the deadly blue screen.
Here are some possible reasons:
* Windows Registry Problems
* Not enough memory for all applications to run.
* Experiencing hard drive problems
Bad connection * High Speed Internet
* Virus, adware, spyware
* Processor speed
* The speed of the graphics card
To fix your slow laptop problem you first have to identify exactly what is slow. The first question to ask is: "Has it always been slow?". Did you know that is slow on the day I bought? If so, maybe you just purchased a computer that was lower than required. It can be as simple as you just need a laptop with a faster processor or more memory.
If the applications you use have a lot of graphics then you may need to upgrade the graphics card and possibly add additional memory. I would suggest that you look closely at the system requirements defined by the applications you are using.
If your laptop is slow speed when accessing the Internet, then this is most probably due to the speed of your Internet connection. Go in search of a new Internet provider. I recently doubled my speed for the same price with only change ISP.
If your laptop does not always has been slow, but soon slowed down or gradually over time gotten slower and slower, then you probably have virus / adware / spyware type problems.
You may have a corrupt windows registry. Even if you know what the Windows registry, do not try to clean it yourself manually. Buy a good Windows registry repair software. It will save many headaches and time.
A lot of hidden culprits are simple files that are placed on your computer without your knowledge by adware or spyware. Adware delivers all the banner ads you see while you are surfing the net. Adware includes code that allows the adware publisher to spy on your browsing activity and then sell that personal information to third-party advertisers. This tracking code that is added to your laptop is what is known as spyware.
Through spyware adware and unauthorized sites can add to your desktop and your favorites to the Internet. These malicious components also take up space on your hard drive and slow down your computer.
If you've contracted a virus, then your computer can not only be slow, but you may see other irregular-type operations that can cause you to have to reboot often. I really always worth taking any anti-virus software. Your laptop may very well come with a trial version of this software already installed for you.
Besides protecting your computer with anti-virus software, I clean it quite frequently with adware / spyware remover software, because these little annoyances files are added daily as surfing the web.
Even if you run out and buy a new laptop and faster, you still need to implement some of the safe computing practices mentioned here to keep your laptop running like a well oiled machine.
