Saturday Share: Fix a Slow Computer
Here at the casa, we’ve had a lot of tech challenges in the last month.
The new router continues to be a problem in that our Samsung TV won’t stay connected wirelessly. But that’s probably because it’s several years old.
The other issue is a slow-running computer—my 2011 Lenova desktop PC. It’s several years old too, but updates have been kept up.
This desktop PC has been a problem-free workhorse. In fact, it’s been so dependable that when it came time to replace my laptop, I bought a Lenovo.
MY TECH GUY
As many of you know, My Tech Guy is my Darling Hubby. When he hears me ranting and raving in my office and using inappropriate language because of some computer problem, he comes to the rescue. What a patient guy who is my biggest supporter.
He researches tech problems and finds a solution or a workaround. He assured me the new router wasn’t the problem. It’s my 13-year-old PC.
BIG SLOWDOWN
It appears that an overall slowdown of a computer is one of the most common problems and the one people complain about most often.
Most often, a slowdown occurs because certain programs or processes take too much of the computer’s RAM (Random Access Memory), hard drive, or the CPU (Central Processing Unit).
The RAM, or Random Access Memory, is the hardware that provides temporary storage for the operating system (OS), software programs, and any other data in current use in order to make all of that quickly available to the device’s processor.
The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, the main part of your computer, is a complex set of electronic circuitry that acts as the control center. It’s what actually runs your computer’s operating system and apps.
(1) Task Manager is a part of Windows. Right-click your taskbar and select Task Manager.
I know it sounds very basic, but I too disregard this. I’m bad about opening several different programs and going from one to the other.
