Hurry! Check out the great deals for:My computer is super slow!?
Why does my computer run super slow every time you watch a video?
It has nothing to do with bandwidth. Same when it is not connected I have the same problem. It is my team as slow sh! t. But when I close the film of his return to normal after a few minutes. Wtf is going on? Thank you! @ Typical4runner I do not know what that means, but my guess is correct, I ran the same configuration 3-4 months and it started and 3 days ago. So idk. @ Typical4channer ***
1080 integrated graphics to run well is a bad idea.
My computer is super slow!?
Why is my computer going super slow?
Recently I got a wireless modem and was getting Internet in my room. However, after a few days the wireless Internet crashed and my computer was running super slow. Super slow pretty much means it took about... 1 minute to open a file on my desktop.. something that should have happened instantaneously.
I couldn't reconnect to the Internet and I'm pretty sure my RAM and motherboard are working fine, however I think it MAY be linked to my graphics card. Internet does still work if I use a LAN cable. Any ideas?
EDIT: Oh btw my CPU is 2ghz and I have roughly 700mbs of DDR1 RAM. My OS is Windows XP Professional
EDIT: My hard drive is very nearly full (it is only 40gb). Can this be linked to my problem? I also have an external hard drive which is 160 gb and only 10gb has been used.
If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.
First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:
1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser
2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options".
3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files.
4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK.
5. Click OK.
3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:
1. Open your Start menu.
2. Click Run
3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"
4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab
5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.
6. Click "OK"
Wow. 1. Get rid of Norton. It’s terrible "protection" and slows down your computer.
2. Uninstall all that "cleaner" crap.
3. Get Avast! Antivirus. It’s free.
4. Get Spybot Search and Destroy. It’s free.
That’s it. Don’t use anything else, ever.

Your computer specs are very close to the same as mine, except I have a 250 GB hard drive. And my computer is super fast. The difference could be in the ISP. I have AT&T DSL extreme 6.0

I would also suggest running Spybot Search and Destroy
http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html
and Malwarebytes

When is it slow? At boot up? Only when accessing the internet?
If it is slow at boot up this could indicate a driver issue in which I would use a program like Driver Cleaner (however, Driver Cleaner free only supports up to XP, though there may be one comparable (free) that will support Vista, I just haven’t looked yet)
If it is slow when accessing the internet, this could be malware/spyware/adware blocking it up. You can also change browsers to something like Google Chrome. I use Chrome and have really enjoyed its speed.
Also, I have found the Symantic products, such as Norton Security, have bogged down some of my systems. I say some, because I had a 98 machine that ran beautifully with Norton, but a 2000 and XP machine that was at a snails pace because of it. I now use AVG Free along with utilities such as Spybot and Malwarebytes to keep my systems going strong.
Good luck!!

You are using too much hard disks like a foolish! Why all these? You must understand that this will use a sky high percentage of memory. Don’t forget, you could use only 1 hard disk for your files to before stored. By the way, windows xp is better than vista. Concerning the cleaner software, why you have to buy? I think, you are a zero on softwares. Download perfect utilities, its free. It has all you want. Its better than these paid cleaner softwares! And for Windows 7, I would recommend you to wait the SP2 to release as there will be criticisms and bugs on it. Mind you!

You sound like my brother here. Everything that comes out you have to have for your computer and like him you are close to system BURN OUT. For one you have the system handling "3" hard drives then the nvidia at 512 MB. Vista in the first place is not as good as XP. I got it and wound up throwing it in the trash. I reloaded mine with XP again as I could see Vista was slower and programming not as good as XP.
When you have too many hard drives it is like as if we try to drive different cars at the same time. A computer will do things "faster" if it has LESS to handle. I keep telling my brother this yet he gets a new computer practically every year because he keeps burning out his systems. He just bought one less than 6 months ago and is already complaining he burned out the DVD drive from all the music he downloads and "burns" to listen to while on the road when he is working. Your best bet is to invest in ONE hard drive big enough to handle ALL your needs rather than running 3 separate ones on the system. This in itself will SPEED UP the entire system a lot as it will not have to load so much THEN decide between them.

First of all, these cleaners are just waste of memory and money. There is no need for these craps.Also Norton Internet Security 2010 makes your CPU super slow (with Vista combination, its worst). I’ve used Windows Vista Home premium Sp2 with Norton Internet Security 2009 on my Core2Duo 2.93 GHz with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM but Norton even made my CPU slow. So I changed my anti-virus to eset nod32. It is one of the best anti-virus and thats for sure that it won’t slow down your PC.
Hope I helped.

As I stated, I’ve faced the similar problem.
"You must understand that this will use a sky high percentage of memory" that is exactly right! And btw why did you buy a pentium 4 in ’06???? those were way outdated. Just reformat vista only install avira free, OR avg free, OR avast free JUST 1, it slows your PC down to be running more than 1 AV! Btw Norton sucks it uses too much ram. Still how did you get a brand new PC in 06 with a Pentium 4 those will have major problems running vista. You could always Try LINUX UBUNTU its free and uses virtually no resources (I got it running on a pentium 4 with only 256mb of DDR)

1st you have to get rid of all those stuff norton in my opinon sucks sorry to the company or people who use it! Anyway download from cnet or download.com download avg free and delete the stuff that are useless. That will make your computer slower or that the internet or lanline you connected to is horrible signal.

There are MANY reasons for computer slow downs:
not enough memory
too many programs starting up with windows at boot up time
too many junk files
too many restore points
Clean windows registry can speed up the computer.
Over time, you install new programs, uninstalled unimportant programs, update software’s, install new devices,
download files from the web, etcetera, hence embarking all records in the registry system.
This is normal, but it is not wise to leave it untouched.
Once in a while, you have to check and remove files that are no longer in use to maintain the speed of your PC.
Clean registry make pc faster.

The Windows Registry serves as a central hierarchical database that used to store vital information to configure the PC for one or more users, applications and hardware devices. It contains essential data that Windows continually references during operations such as setting profiles for each user, details about the applications installed on your computer and the types of documents that an application can create, what all hardware exists in the system, the ports that are being used, etc. In addition, the Windows registry digs a window into the running kernel to keep watch over the runtime runtime information such as performance counters and currently active hardware.
With continuous usage, the processes of installation, reinstalling and uninstall bring a massive bunch of empty registry keys, embedded and obsolete entries. The old and outdated system spam may not do any harm to your system but sometimes they will give it havoc. Or some kinds of malwares intend to attack your system through the way of hiding in the registry. To solve the problem, invest a registry cleaner to tidy up your empty registry keys and outdated entries is an efficient and practical way of keeping your system running stable.
