Have so much problem when a PC slowdown. Maybe your system is infected virus or hard disk bad or cooling fans not working. First, you should check your Hard Disk and the Cooling Fans. You can check your Hask Disk by a Hiren Boot CD. If haven't got any problem of Hard Disk and Cooling Fans then you reinstall system and install the "AVAST FREE ANTIVIRUS". It's really important

hey yugasini may be your system is infected by a trojan or something else. I recommend you to make a boot scan with a good anti virus. If problem still persists, then try removing some unused installed programs and try removing startup program which you do not use while startup.

its looks like you have insufficient ram. usually when ram is not sufficient system turns off the program which are not in use temporarily. try to check in you task bar what programs are running in background, usually when i see in my task bar i can find at least 3 program which are running back ground and consumes around 300 mb of ram.

I would like to tell you that I was also like you was a computer noob like you. But now I think I know more than enough to solve my own computer problems. Still, if I ever encounter a problem for which I don't have solution I always search for it. What I'am trying to say is that computer is something which has 2 options whether learn it from paid institutes or learn from your own experience. I like to learn from my own experience as it includes fun and for me it's more than that. The problem you are experiencing might be related with viruses. Try scanning your comp. or call your computer technician. They usually do format to your windows, deleting virus w+ith it if it is undeletable by your anti-virus. By the way, you can do formatting on your own too. It's easy.

First things first, I'am not a professional computer technician so, I can not give you the exact solution for your problem. If you look carefully, I have recommended what others have already told you that is to check your computer for viruses. Second, I know that Combiflame is a name of a painkiller tablet, in India.

Computers getting slow are often signs of being infected by something like virus, trojan, malware, or spyware. In short, there might be some unwanted processes that are running to your computer. Processes that you are unaware of and are using your computer's resources which causes your computer being slow. The best solution to resolve this was to scan your computer with some anti-virus/anti-spyware. There are lots of free applications out there like AVG, Avast, and Avira. But I recommend using Microsoft Security Essentials. Its a light and compact application to protect your computer from all these viruses, trojans, etc. It's free but you need to have a Genuine copy of Windows. You can use this to scan your computer and just apply the default actions to clean your computer automatically.
Another thing that could slow your computer could be way your system access your files. If its not caused by a virus, you might also want to Defragment your hard disks your Windows Disk Defragmenter. It will somehow improve the performance of your system.

hi yugasini,
there is no need to be computer expert for the using a good anti virus programme. You can try Avast.. it is very effective and its free..
you remove all temp file from ur computer. Registry cleaning is also an option. Or defragment your c drive. See if it works!

In temp file (temporary), remove unnecessary files. Avast is a very good anti virus software and it is free. You can instal it. Any virus or trojan will be identified by avast. Do not keep too many things for start up.

If there are problems arises that don't know the solutions or just ended on a blank wall, it is time to research, search or ask to others who has the abilities or the knowledge to know the solutions or answers. Either by googling or mylot or by becoming a registered member from a Forum board or subscribe to blogsite or websites that discussed primarily on technology updates tips and guides. For offlines look for instructional books like for titles called "Dummies for......."
Actually you can know by yourself without asking by self learning and experience. You have to remember what is good or bad, right or wrong to do. Know your computer or the motherboard by reading the factory manuals. Read the manual for your other devices like video cards, printers, mouse and so on. Read about information of the other components and devices such as you Hard Disk Drives. Other informations are all available in the internet.
Use genuine softwares such as MS Windows OS or other softwares and applications so you can have genuine updates and supports, and do some complaint and knowledges directly to the manufacturers.

Hello Yugasini,
How are you? i used to have a lot of problems with my Personal desktop computer when i still have windows as a Operating System. not only that it's slow, it keeps giving me a lot of viruses and error programs. not to mention spywares. in time, my Personal COmputer crashed for the second time this year.
Since I don't know exactly how to reformat the system. my brother did it for me, and it actually change when he switched it to Ubuntu. although i may have lost a lot of programs to use to, but am happy am not getting much of a virus anymore.
If you have time, you can learn it in an institution.

Hello yugasini,
your computer can become slow due to many problems. It can be that your system is infected from virus, probably because of external drives that you access without any scan programs. If your internet is running slow than ever, it can only be because of spyware application which you can remove with the help of antispyware programs.
Now if you want to become an expert in solving day to day problems ofn your personal computer then visit sites like download(dot)com and try to be active in computer forums so that you can update your knowledge with latest utility software applications. In addition to that know each and every specification of your system so that you can avoid wasting time when facing any hardware problem.
Happy mylotting...!!
