Why My PC is Running Slow?

Posted October 6th, 2008 by jack

We may find that our PC runs more and more slowly after we use it for a period of time. The longer we use our computer, the slower it becomes. You have a fast break while turning on your PC, and when you go back to it, you will find that the Windows does not boot. It is really a frustrating.

The reasons that drag down your computer may be as follows:

1. Too many programs need to load when you boot your computer. If there are too many programs in your start menu, your Windows system will spend much time starting up.
2. Too many desktop icons. Every time you start your computer, Windows system needs to look for and load those icons one by one. The more icons takes your computer longer time. 3. A too small virtual memory. The microsoft sets a rule that the virtual memory should be twice larger than the physical memory. You will know how much memory your computer has by going to system tool and viewing system information.
4. Virus infection. As we all know, the virus will make your computer slow, even crash. You can try some reliable anti-virus programs to completely delete it.

The biggest possibility is that there are too many errors in the registry, which in turn will decrease the PC performance. Windows Registry plays a very important role as brain in your computer. Any change like customizing settings and deleting programs, will leave some invalid entries and empty keys in the registry and prevent your PC registry from working well with system.

In order to keep the speed of your PC as it was when you just purchase, remember to maintain your computer, keep it clean, check the virtual memory, and clean the registry periodically.

But, actually testing our computer to see which reason above cause the problem is not only a troublesome task, but also a risk for any of us. So, it is better to search a good registry tools which can professionaly and effectively uncover and fix the problems for us.

After surfing the Internet, I downloaded many versions of related registry clean software and had adequate tests. I highly recomme the Advanced PC Tweaker, which costs only $34.95, while is really a good registry tools. It provides a free scan, if your PC runs slowly, download it to have a test:
