Slow Computer Fix Western Sydney
Why is my computer so slow?
A slow computer in Western Sydney is almost always caused by one of five things — and all of them are fixable. The key is diagnosing which one (or combination) is causing the problem rather than just throwing solutions at it.
Too many startup programs
Every app you install wants to start with Windows. After a few years, your computer may be loading 20-30 programs before you even open anything.
Old mechanical hard drive (HDD)
Replacing an old HDD with an SSD is the single biggest speed improvement you can make. Boot times go from 3-5 minutes to under 20 seconds.
Not enough RAM
If you consistently use more than 80% of your RAM, your computer will slow to a crawl. More RAM or closing unused programs helps immediately.
Malware or virus running in background
Many infections are specifically designed to be invisible while consuming your resources. A full scan often reveals the cause of mysterious slowdowns.
Overheating and thermal throttling
Dust blocking vents causes processors to slow themselves down to prevent damage. A professional clean and new thermal paste can transform performance.
