slow pc

Sorry I am sort of a newbie sorry if I forgot any thing, let me know if I need to add anything. Okay so I noticed when I started my computer today that the disk is at 100% more or less all the time right now. I cannot figure out why this is happening and it causes my machine to go really slow...

Hi After Windows updated today I decided to try running Chrome again, as I've posted in the past, after running it for years even on this computer, every time I install it my computer just slows to a crawl the second that I open it. Well It is in and so far my computer seems to be running...

Since installing the Windows 10 Anniversary update, booting has been slow and the PC is sluggish for a while. As soon as I could get Task Manager open I saw C: had 100% utilisation. I ran Resource Monitor and saw that MsMpEng apparently had a long list of my installed programs running at the...

Okay, as the title says, I upgraded. But there's a problem: Nothing on this OS seems to be working. Explorer.exe constantly crashes, and a couple of hours ago, the computer itself just froze entirely, with me not even able to do ANYTHING. I fixed the freezing by updating my graphics drivers...

Good evening, Have just completed a while ago, the above program. No idea really as to why I ran that particular program. I was simply looking for ideas as to perhaps give my newish PC a shot in the arm as it had become rather sluggish over the 5 months I have had it. Being a retired old...

Win 8.1 When I click on start>small arrow pointing down>apps which I read, I look in task manager after and they are all there under processes. It seems they slow me down.

Hello, I recently installed a new 1 Terra Hard Drive on my computer and I am currently running Windows 8 Pro. But sadly since these changes I have been noticing that my PC has been slow, I went to check my settings and saw, that only 2gb out of 8gb (RAM) were usable and that the 6gb were...

Which is better for the computer to get some life back into it. Should I reinstall windows 7 and start over and add the programs that I want or is it safe to uninstall the programs that I no longer use. Its been a while since I have had a fresh windows. The reason for this is that the PC has...

I have, within the past few weeks, build my own computer. The compter has worked great for a while, but then started having problems. It had problems with the internet and other stuff, but I was able to fix the problems by disabling parts of my firewall. Now though, when my computer boots...

My computer is slow no matter where it is. The stupid little blue circle keeps going around and around until the page opens. I have done all the cleaning I am supposed to. The other forum actually took over my computer and went in and got rid of xoftspy. We were going to do a clean install of...

HELLO EVERYONE. HELP NEEDED! pc became very slow, so I reboot it. Never came back on. Jams at the opening with "DELL" and does nothing. Removed the HD, connected it on a USB device. When I go to explore it on my other computer, it tells me to format this drive. HOW CAN I GET MY FILES BACK?

After my computer has been running for some time (maybe days), it gets really slow. I found a great memory manager that cleans the memory. I was wondering if there was a way to clean the Page File without rebooting. BTW, I use Process Explorer so I know there is nothing running that shouldn't...

My desktop computer has been progressively slowing to a crawl. I just upgraded my RAM to 6 GB and I haven't noticed much improvement (probably a waste of money all things considered). I have repaired the MBR, which I have had luck with in the past. I ran a disk check, seemingly fine. Used...
