[vance]

hi there

my computer has slowed down in the last few weeks

i have cleared cookies and temp files and this helped a bit but didnt get it back up to what it was.

im a bit stupid when it comes to computers hence why im askingon here

also it seems to be at its slowest around midnight/early hours.

how can i speed it up again and what do i have to do?

Hello vance and welcome to the forum.

 

Firstly please could you post your computer hardware specifications as this can help us help you.

 

Download and run and only post your hardware:

 

Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit

 

Then power off the computer and clean internals.

 

Then download and run SpeedFan and post a screen shot of the results:

 

SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer

 

 

Go the the computer manufacturers website,under there support tab/driver downloads put in the make and model of computer and what operating system you are running were asked to.

 

You will then be given a list of hardware drivers to download/install and run.

 

Under accessoreies/system tools do a defragment of your hard drive.

 

 

Try removing all external hardware connected to your computer that is not needed to start the computer.Then restart the machine and see if it boots up faster.

 

JB.
