    My computer is really slow after running fine for a year


    1 and a half years ago I custom built a PC and it has been running fine since, but now it is just slow all of a sudden. It started after I attempted to restart it once, which took ages, so I shut the PC down manually by the power button and booted up again. Now its just really slow. Opening applications is slow, using applications is slow, playing games is impossible. I don't see any significant uses in the graphics card, ram or cpu - could this be a virus? Do I need to reinstall windows I really don't want to.Some help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Hi Sheree,

    One of the most common reasons for a slow computer are programs running in the background. Other factors that can contribute to the issue are memory space, malware infection, outdated software, and processor overheating. To improve your computer's performance,
    you can check the tips listed on this link. We suggest that you also try to follow the suggested steps.
