At any given time, and more often than not, your computer seems to perform or respond more slowly than when you first bought it. This is not necessarily something that calls for huge concern because this happens, and there are numerous ways to prevent or fix this common issue.

Is your computer not performing at its best, or running up to speed?

If so, there are some things you can do to troubleshoot this common problem, and they all begin with identifying the root of the problem.

Here are five reasons that cause your computer to run slow:

Program Overload

Your computer is running several programs at once. Some launch at startup and run behind the scenes without you even being aware of it. Every program that your computer is running takes up valuable space and memory and can slow your computer down. Check to see that you are only running programs that are important to you, and disable the rest.

Adware and Spyware

These are all too common and can have a very negative impact on your computer's performance. If you suspect your computer is armed with these programs, which are built to spy on your activity for the benefit of others, you should consult with a computer repair technician for prompt removal.

Operating System Issues

There are a number of reasons why your operating system might suffer some dents and dings here and there (not updating regularly is a common culprit). Damage to your operating system can really slow it down. Fortunately, it is also relatively easy to fix if you have some basic computer knowledge.

Limited Memory

This is a very common problem and one that is easily solved - as long as you are willing to pull out your pocketbook or wallet. Increasing your computer's memory (RAM) is a surefire way to increase its processing speed, but sometimes, (if you must run a lot of programs, for example), you just can't avoid it.

Viruses

If you've checked all the common culprits and taken all the practical measures to increase your computer's speed, and it is still running at a rate that is slow beyond reason, it may just be that a virus is to blame. Your best bet in this situation is to get your computer over to a professional computer expert ASAP.

Considering all the roles computers must fill in our lives today, it is easy to see how disruptive it can be to have computer problems. What's more, is that you should only entrust the important task of handling computer issues to someone competent and trustworthy enough to get the job done – and get it done right.
