I have an Acer Aspire 5 17" laptop. I like the machine very much, although I have had an issue with it for quite some time now.
- Most of the time after using it, I will put it into sleep mode, close it until the next time I use it
- Only on occasion will I power it off after use and re-power it on when ready to use it
- Most of the times when I open it up to use it - whether it was in sleep mode or whether I re-power it back up - the machine stalls and is extremely slow
- This slowness makes it almost impossible to get anything done with it as it stalls and stalls and I am unable to operate the mouse properly as the cursor won't cooperate
- I usually go through this for as long as 10-20 minutes almost each and every time I want to use it after it was asleep or powered off
- I am sure that this is not an Internet / wifi issue but rather an issue with the device; I say this because I don't have the same issue with other devices (Chromebook and smart phone) and I have had this same problem with this machine in my previous residence with a different ISP ( I just relocated about 2 months ago)
Is there anything one could recommend to clean up my machine so that this will not be a problem that continues? I do keep a lot of tabs pinned and open but I don't believe that this should cause such lengthy stalling each and everytime I want to use it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
