Why Is My Computer So Slow?

There are several reasons that can cause a computer loading slowly or running sluggishly. Our team of friendly and experienced computer experts can assess your computer and find the main cause of the problem.

Common causes can include:

• Outdated hardware
• Corrupted or missing system files
• Viruses, spyware or malware
• Low disk space on your hard drive
• Cluttered registry or startup programs
• SMC issues on Mac computers
• An outdated operating system or software

In most cases, the solution to fix a slow computer is easier than you think. Once we figure out what’s causing the problems, we’ll get started on fixing them. This might involve running virus scans, updating drivers or software, cleaning up your hard drive and registry, or upgrading your operating system.

If a hardware issue is causing the problems, we can provide on-site repairs and upgrades or arrange for a replacement part to be delivered if necessary. This may mean adding additional RAM or a new hard drive or upgrading a graphics card or processor. Whatever the issue is, we’ll explain what needs replacing and how much it will cost before starting any upgrades.

Sometimes, especially for older computers, it may be best to replace your PC or laptop completely. If this is the case, we can discuss what you use your computer for and suggest specifications for a new model.

FAQs

Why is my 16GB RAM laptop slow?

16GB of RAM should be enough for most general computer use like web browsing and using office software. If you’re a gamer or you’re using your computer for photo or graphics processing, or video editing, you’ll need at least 32GB of RAM (the more, the better!) But RAM might not be the issue. There could be a problem with your hard drive, you might have a virus, or it could be one of several other issues. Get in touch and we’ll help you figure out the problem.

Why is my Windows 10 computer so slow all of a sudden?

If your PC is starting slow but was running ok until recently, then it could be due to a virus or malware. Corrupt system files or a full hard drive can also slow your computer down. In some cases, upgrading to Windows 11 may also help. We can help you to figure out the issues and suggest the best ways to fix your Windows computer.

What are the best programs to fix a slow computer?

Installing anti-virus software Is usually the best thing to do first. This will scan your computer and remove any viruses or malware that may be slowing it down. You can also look for a Mac or PC cleaning program to get rid of old files. Most of these software programs offer a free version, but you’ll usually need to upgrade to the paid version to get full access to all of the features. Alternatively, you can contact us to arrange a service for your PC or laptop, and we’ll take care of it all for you.
