Computer slows down after an hour?

Question

My brand new computer was workin fine.....But recently i have been facing a very strange problem, The computer becomes very slow after few minutes of booting; It works fine initially but slows(Damn slow) down after workin on it for a hour or so.....What could be the probable causes ?

Answer 1

Could be that your hard-drive is full, or nearly. Or it could be that your cpu is over-heating.

Answer 2

-Are you in a large file? If so, save frequently to restore full memory access. Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk and working in a large file, especially one with graphics, will seriously slow you down.
- I had this problem until I invested in more memory.


Now, take some time for a good housecleaning:

- Are you using a complex screensaver - it runs in the background and eats memory. I had fun with mine, then changed it to blank.
- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
then cl Remove.
This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.

1.Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag

2.Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.

3.From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

3.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

4.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

Answer 3

This could be caused by many things from software issues like internet junk building up on your computer or there may be something physically wrong with your computer. I would recommend taking the computer back to where you purchased it from or contact support if it was purchased online. If you want to clean your computer as suggested by Pammie, I would suggest using more than one piece of software for that job in order to ensure that your computer is perfectly clean from everything. Again, it's hard to tell from your details given whether this issue is a physical problem from manufacturing defects or software issues, in which case, you might have caused.

Answer 4

Hi. That is usually a sign that you need more RAM (easy to install). At first the RAM has only a few programs stored but as you use the PC, more and more gets tied up. When you use it all the computer has to start storing things on the hard drive. 1,000 times slower than RAM. Check for malware also.

Answer 5

You may be allowing too many programs to be partially opened in the task bar. To eliminate this, you need to go to the start menu, select run, and type msconfig -- there will be a window which pops up, from there you need to go to services and uncheck all of the programs that you don't need right at the start up of your system. Leave all of the Microsoft services alone -- unchecking them may cause system instability.
