hello everyone,

My PC has become extremely slow and I can't figure out why! I scanned for viruses, malware, spyware etc and removed everything, restarted the PC, and it's still very slow.

I ran Cleanup, disk defragmenter, the works, but it didn't work.

first all. Hello, i hope my sugestions can help you.

1 check the size of RAM MEMORY , Sometimes one ram fail and other work , the windows work slowly

2 check bios battery, the speed of procesor change to default , if you have 500 mhz , it change to 200 and cause change speed to slowest.

3. verify the speed of fan procesor.maybe overheat can put slow the machine

4. run the norton utilities from cd , without install , use windoctor. maybe help you

if you have lan, verify the good working , if lan are slow , the windows slow too

try this and see if it helps

1.start
2.run
3.type cmd and click ok
4.type chkdsk /r on the cmd window
5.a messege saying that it chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process, just type Y and press enter
6.restart your computer
7.after it boots up it will start checking your hard drive for damaged sectors. just leave it scanning.
8.when finished do the same except that this time on the cmd window type chkdsk /f

sometimes when your computer has damaged sectors it will run extreamly slowbecause it cannot read system files correctly. using the above commands does not ensure that your problem will be fixed but it atleast will try to repair as many sectors as it can.

let me know if your pc performance improved ..............
