Is your Computer running Hot and Slow?

 

If your Computer running hot, there may be one or many causes, you must identify which.

Causes:

1. There may be too much start-up Programs in your computer, each program consumes some CPU time & ram, so you must stop auto start of unimportant programs.

To do so press key with windows flag + r, this will bring Run prompt & type “msconfig” & press enter.

2. In System Configuration windows you can enable/disable may things like Services, programs, enabling/disabling services requires deeper understanding of system & computer usage so we will stick to start-up programs only.

Click on “startup” tab & uncheck program’s you don't want to Auto start, this will make system faster to start next time.

msconfig

2. Your computer may have malware, first Update your Antivirus & then start scanning.

Keep windows updated.

Now below are some Hardware causes, before opening laptop first make sure that your body is earthed, static charge of body can easily damage chips inside laptop ( you can sit on floor to discharge your body & then open laptop )

3. If you can’t hear or feel your Computer or laptop’s fan then there may be problem in fan, it may be chocked by dust, try to clean open & clean fan.

If your Laptop fan is throwing too much hot air then get it clean or if you want to do yourself then open laptop ( google your laptop name & try to find video or see how other laptops are opened ) & clean mesh near fan ( this mesh filter’s air so catches dirt causing block in airflow )

4. Processor has Thermal Paste applied on it, it may become dry causing disturbance in heat flow, try to remove heat sink above processor & buy good thermal paste from store & gently apply it ( DONT APPLY TOO MUCH PASTE, DONT APPLY IT TO OTHER IC’S or CHIPS )

5. If you use high end programs that use 3D graphics try to install/upgrade Graphics Card & Processor, if you see high RAM usage in Task Manager then try to upgrade your RAM.

Umm still problem not solved, visit Computer Shoppe.
