Why the computer is running slowly

What you need to do if the computer has become slowlywork? First you need to find out the reason why he began to "slow down", and only then try to eliminate it. Most importantly, do not forget what configuration your computer has. If he is from the last century, then for him slow work is a normal mode.

If the computer is slow, but it doessufficiently productive and before this was not observed, it means that something happened, and you need to find out what it is. First, install the Everest program on your computer (the program was first called AIDA, then Everest, and now new versions are again released under the AIDA logo). This utility provides complete information about your computer. What parts are installed, which programs, which drivers and so on. But we need other information.

Determination of temperature devices.

Open the program.Click on the item "Computer", and then click on the "Sensors". You will open the window of sensors of various devices. Find there temperature indicator of the processor, video card and hard drive. It is also desirable to pay attention to the number of revolutions of the cooler, which is installed on the processor.

CPU temperature.

If the computer is slow and the temperature is runningvery high, the reason is just that. If you are not using anything that is heavily wasting system resources at the moment, then the processor heat should not be higher than 30-40 degrees Celsius. If a game or a movie of excellent Full HD quality is launched, the temperature will be 40-50 degrees. Strongly loads and heats up the processor converting video, photo and audio files. At such continuous moments, the temperature will be around 50-60 degrees.

But if your temperature is already in simple modemore than 50 degrees, this is bad. Also pay attention to the number of revolutions of the cooler, maybe it almost does not spin. In this case, you need to open the system unit, remove and blow the cooler, as well as the heat sink installed on the processor. Then carefully remove the remnants of the old thermal paste from the processor surface, then apply a new one. Then we put back the radiator and the cooler. The temperature should drop significantly.

Hard drive overheated.

If the computer is still slow, thenPay attention to the temperature of the hard drive. If it is upgraded from the hard disk too, then this is also bad, because if it is hot, then it works slower, as a result, the work of the operating system deteriorates. Perhaps the cooler installed on the hard drive is spinning poorly or too weak and unable to cope with its task. Buy a new one or lubricate the old one. You can do the original thing - install another cooler near the hard drive (on the side or anywhere else, it depends on the structure of the system unit).

The temperature of the video card.

We are doing the above with a video card.

Search for problems at the program level.

If the computer is still slow, thenthen there is another reason. Open Everest or Task Manager (press ctrl + alt + delete on the keyboard). There you can see the load of RAM and processor. If the indicators are maximum, then the reason is this.

We look in the task manager, which programsare running. It is possible that you have a large system on the system, which you don’t know about or viruses. Find which process consumes a lot of CPU or RAM and complete it.

Then press the key combination “Windows” + R.The “Windows” key is located between Alt and Ctrl. In the window that appears, type msconfig and run. In the application that opens, we find the “Startup” tab and disable unnecessary programs.

Score result.

After you have successfully disabled everythingunnecessary, restart the computer. Now everything should work much faster. But if the computer is slowly running again, then try reinstalling your Windows, since it has the “hang” and “fly” properties. That is why periodically operating systems have to reinstall.
