Is Your Computer Running Slow and Driving You to Distraction

Remember when your computer was new and shiny and had the performance of a hot car? Is that a dim memory from the past? Remember when you clicked on a program shortcut and it opened so fast if you blinked you missed it?
So what happened? You haven't dropped it off the desk or spilt your coffee in the keyboard (by the way that's not the end of the world, been there done that). You've just used it for the same old things, you know like emailing you're friends and sending them photos and files and getting photos and stuff back from them, and surfing the web and downloading stuff and writing letters and helping the kids with there home work, and playing games, and loading great new programmes to help design the garden and show you how to train your dog and..

And tell me, do you clean you vehicle? Inside and out or do you leave all the trash and stuff in the car till you're afraid to open the doors. So do you ever clean your computer, or do you just wipe the monitor when the dust is too thick to see through.
You may be able to stop you're computer running slow by doing a bit of house cleaning. As well as shaking or vacuuming the crumbs out of your keyboard and cleaning the monitor, if you're computer has a tower which sits under the desk or on the floor make sure you remove any dust that collects around the cooling fans. If those fan intakes are blocked you're computer is going to run hot, and they don't like it. You could occasionally take off the side of the casing and remove the dust from
