Causes & Fixes for Slow Netbook

A netbook computer can get slow no matter it is old or barnd new. Typical Symptoms for a slow netbook computer:
  • * Netbook runs slowly when operate a program or make a click;
  • * Takes very long time to start up the Windows;
  • * Often locks up and becomes unresponsive;
  • * Takes long time to run a program;
  • * Netbook freezes up now and then;
What Can Be The Causes?
  • * Too many programs and processes runnning;
  • * Malicious processes running; 
  • * Overload start up programs;
  • * Not enough free disk space;
  • * Inadequate RAM;
  • * Hard drive errors, capacity, or fragmentation issues;
  • * Inadequate processor speed;
  • * Other system issues; 
All netbooks get a bit loaded down with junk after being used for a while, the more junk they have, the slower they become. There are a few things you can do to make your netbook faster for free.

First of all, go to add remove programs in the control panel and remove any programs you no longer want, or need, once that is done you can stop some programs from starting automatically and using up your memory, to do this click on start, then run and type MSCONFIG, once that window opens go to the start up tab and uncheck any programs you don't want to start automatically. If you aren't sure about a program, leave it checked, and ask someone who may have a little more computer knowledge.

Next step is to run this pc health check program if you have to detect if there are some virus, spyware issues, doing this will ensure your computer is free of any nasty programs and delete your temporary internet files.

Then it comes disk clean up and disk defragmenter, both of those can be found in start, all programs, accessories, and then system tools. Following all of these steps about once a month, will help ensure your computer doesn't get too bogged down and runs at a nice speed up netbook in an easy manner.

By the way, I use SpeedyPC Pro on my network and it works amazingly well to maintain overall speed.
