A slow computer can be such a pain in the neck. Reasons why you are experiencing a slow computer performance can range from the more severe technical issues to the simple, basic and common sense issues. Run a simple do-it-yourself slow computer fix and see if you can make your computer run fast once again.

Among the simplest reason why your computer is running slow is a ‘program buildup.” You may have been tempted to download too many software and they may be running “in the background” each time you boot your computer. Software such as RealPlayer or Quicktime, once installed in your computer tends to run in the background each time you start your computer. This action will definitely slow down your computer.

To avoid too many software running in the background only download and install programs that are trusted. To disable software that may be running in the background each time you start up Window, defrag your hard drive. Before you do defragging, be certain that you do not have a compressed drive because having one will take more time to read and write files. Rid your disk of unwanted software by:

On the start- up menu, click on “All Programs.
Click on Accessories → System tools → Disk Clean-up → Boot into safe mode (F8 during boot up) → Disable unwanted software that may be running in the background each time you start your computer.

Although it will cost some money, another simple slow computer repair you can undertake is to add more memory into your computer. More memory will improve the hardware performance of your computer and will cause it to run faster.
