I know from experience working in the IT support industry that the one thing that annoys more PC users than anything else is the speed of their machines. But how do you know when your machine is faulty causing it to run slow or it is something out of your control (ie. slow internet connections). Below are a list of common signs that your computer is running slow and method you can use to fix them.
Slow bootup and shutdown
Your installation of Windows takes a long time to boot up and your shutdown takes time as well. This is due to an overload in your registry causing your machine to load and shutdown many useless programs you dont need.
Error messages
There are thousands of error messages built into windows to warn you of specific problems with your computer. These errors can cause dramatic decrease in the overall speed of your PC.
Software not installing
You experience problems installing software applications or removing software. This can be a great hassel when you need to load important software or delete useless programs.
Blue Screen of Death
The legendary blue screen of death (red screen in vista) has been around for a long time giving heartaches to thousands. The blue screen occurs when a critical system error occurs in your machine and all you can view is a blue screen.
Applications hang or crash
Software applications regularly hang or crash or slow to start and close. This can be very annoying to any PC user and is frustrating if the sympton continues.
All these problems occur to millions of computers daily all around the world and the simplest treatment is to give your machine a tune up. Cleaning out useless programs and files decreases the chance dramatically of your machine recieving errrors or blue screens. Simply run this scan and it will get you started on your road to a faster computer.
