One of the most frustrating things in life is a slow computer.



Every few years, we buy an expensive new PC and love how fast it starts up, runs programs, and loads web sites. Inevitably, though it starts to slow down, until eventually we are pulling our hair out waiting for it to do routine tasks.



Why is this? It turns out the answer is actually quite simple and you don't even need to be technical to understand the causes and solutions.



The good news, it's not the computer hardware that's the problem. In most cases the hardware you have is perfectly capable of being restored to its original glory and kept in fast running condition with minimal effort.



Rather, the problem lies with changes that occur to the PC's software. The 2 most common causes of slowdown (along with easy solutions) are:

To keep my PC as fast as it could be, I always scan it for viruses (viruses slows down your system and eats up spaces and resources), defragment it (fragmented files slows your PC) and clean some registries.
 
When it's first brought, it normally comes home with you in a car. Take it for a spin at 60 mph, and it'll be as fast as it ever was.
