Slow Computer|Corona, CA

Posted on by admin

In a day and age where waiting is an annoyance we are unwilling to deal with, having computer issues are a headache. Not only do we live on the internet, but even basic life functions have somehow integrated a computer into it. So, when we have a slow computer what can we do to speed things up?

There are several things that can contribute to your computer slowing down.

 Bugs in the operating system, failing hardware, or even static electricity from carpet can lead to computer glitches. But before taking your computer in for repair or buying a new PC all together, try some quick fixes first.

  • Uninstall unused programs. When buying a new computer, programs that have been pre-installed.
  • Delete temporary files. All your browsing history remains deep in your computer, and the same goes for when you install something. Make sure to get rid of all the clutter to free up space on your system.
  • Get more storage. If you have too much on your hard drive, it will affect the speed of your computer, especially if you use your computer for things such as recording media or video.
  • Stop unnecessary reboots. Every time you start up your PC, some programs automatically run in the background. Every application that is running will use your PCs memory and slow it down.
  • Clean it up. Dust gets sucked in by the cooling fan and can clog the airflow of the computer causing it to overheat and slow down.
