Hi,

First thing you should do is to restor your system back to an earlier time,
If you are yet to solve the problem of the slow computer take the following step.

1. Back up your data excluding any executable files and program mes to an external drive.
2. Format the System
3. Re install the windows operating system
4. Slave the external drive and scan it with a cloud antivirus program me i.e Panda Cloud Antivirus
5. Copy the files back and install only basic program mes such as Microsoft office, Adobe Collection.

First check for infections. Download the trial version of malwarebytes and scan your computer. Download ccleaner and run cleaner and registry cleaner. Defrag your hard drive. Most of the time I find with a malware infection antivirus will simply not pick it up. Upon boot scan usually there is a pagefile virus adjusting the size of your pagefile constantly (slow down). I have seen many shops try to remove malware infections and then their customers come here. Lol. Once you have an infection malwarebytes will not be able to remove it. Malware zips itself up in the file system making it difficult to detect and remove. I usually save the customers data and wipe the drive reinstalling the system.

ok guys and thanks for your help and it seems that you need some more info

1- i have windows7- 64 bit
2- hard disk is 275 gb, 240 of it is free
3- processor AMD A6 APU WITH Radeon HD GRAPHICS 1.4 Ghz
( quad processors)
4- RAM 4 Gb
5- system 64-bit operating system

i use my computer mainly to watch u tube, movies, ms word and excell.Not many programs there either.

when at idel, the cpu usage is between 0-10%
memory usage when idel or when i have three stations going is around 1.8 GB

CPU TEMP IS ALWAYS AROUND 70% OF MAX ( IS THERE A GUIDE LINE FOR LIMITS?)

FAN SPEED IS ALWAYS AROUND 80-90% OF MAX.

HOPE THIS INFO SHEDS SOME LITE ON WHAT I SHOULD TRY TO DO NEXT.


sounds like u are doing most of ur stuff online? cuz so much of your disk space is free. is there a possibility that it your web browser or the sites u visit that are running poorly? Have you updated lately the drivers for your modem (wireless?) card or antenna.

Also the other guy up there did have one good answer. Clean up and pare down the programs that run at start up to improve the boot.

your processor speed is too slow for 64 bit so mirage is prolly right

new processor - you need at least 2 or 2.2 ghrtz

without stating the obvious, have you checked your fan?

it might be running but can still clog up. I would clean it or if necessary replace it. Your CPU should not be running at them temps.

Yes it could be a faulty one but it is more likely it is not being cooled properly.

Also check your updates, sometimes you get compatibility issues if the rest of your system isnt updated properly and then microsoft chuck another update at you
:thumbsup:





1 already solved

2. Never do updates as it casue more problems



protocol is to do 1 update at a time to isolate any that could be a problem (in case there's a problem with them)

MY computer is running very slow , and streaming too.

i have Toshiba lap top satelite, quad processor, 4 gb memory. I had run virus clean up, registery fix, defrag, disk clean up, delted temp files, etc. NOTHING HELPED.

I DID notice that the CPU tempreture is 70-80% of max , and the fan speed running at 90% of the Max.

any suggestions of what the problem is? and what i can do?

As far as my experience goes, you`ll just have reinstall your operating system. Cleaning the dick etc. won`t do anything, strangely enough. I don`t know who computers slow down over time, it`s a mystery.

wrong totally wrong he did what hp said and i agreed it worked. When are people going to tell truth. Oh yeah sure format and reinstall everything 2 hours later. whatever dude. That is the wrong answer I pity your clients.
besides its a closed case.

when your cpu is running abnormally such as at a higher frequency and really stressing it... you need a new cpu usually... I have had this happen a couple times.

which has nothing to do with this ..that would be over heating .there is no such thing as over stressing. Cpus dont over stress . They are on or off they break or work no in between . They break they dont stress.. they just dont work.. good grief.. u urself said u arent a hardware guy in previous post so lay off. When can people tell the truth

your right letsayhi, I have no idea what it is I am talking about...
I was better off twiddling my thumbs through class...
No idea that overheating and unusually high frequencies during operations that do not require them means you need to replace the cpu...

Twist and twist fact remains u where caught as a liar. By the way all cpus operate at a very high freq. Uare not an egineer or u wouldnt have made such
A foolish remark.

Download a copy of Tuneup Utilities 2013, you can run a scan on your computer and it will repair numerous problems in windows and scan the registry, there is also an option that will let you disable programs that are slowing down your computer.

Another good program is Malwarebytes, it scans your system looking for anything that shouldn't be there. Both programs are free to download, just look them up on Google.

I hope this helps, I use them myself, try them out if you find they help you can always buy the full versions.
