Slow computer If you have a virus program installed, it is most likely is running a scan on your hard disk. It can slow down your computer especially if you have a large hard drive. After scanning is completed then the computer will be faster.
To make your computer (hard disk) lean and mean, uninstall any programs you do not use.
Also you need to maintain your hard disk by running Disk Cleanup this will remove old temp files and old compressed files etc.
This will reduce the number of files the virus scanner has to scan. Plus running Defrag. this makes your files contiguous so the system can access files off the hard drive quicker because it does not work as hard.. Disk Cleanup and Defrag should be carried out at least once a month.
If you have 512Mb of RAM installed then installing more RAM will speed up your computer. After installing your graphics card, you may need to disable the built-in graphics card in the BIOS for the new graphics card to work properly.

How do I restart my computer?

Hello.

If your computer is on and you want to warm restart, select the 3 keys (Alt-Ctrl- Del) and the computer should restart without powering off.

If you want to cold restart, hold down the power button on your tower for at least 5 seconds and then let go when your screen goes dark. Push the button again to start.

Hope this resolves your problem.

Computer start up slow after loading printer software

check the Task manager for the Process that is taking a lot of CPU usage. It might be "spoolsv.exe"
Go to Start >> Run (press windows key + R on Vista) and in the run dialog box type "services.msc" without the quotes and press Enter. Services window will open up. Search for Print Spooler service, right click on it and click Stop, Now check the performance of PC. Restart the service again and then check again. In case the issue is not a major one, it should be resolved but if the PC becomes slow again on restarting the service, uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the Printer again.

My PC auto matically restart when turning it on

The beep you hear is your BIOS trying to alert you to an error in the POST (power on self test) routine. Without knowing the manufacturer of your motherboard one can't be certain what the beeps indicate...see this link for more info: http://www.5starsupport.com/info/beep_codes.htm
It's possible you have some kind of infestation, and it's possible there's something more systemic, but without knowing the make and model of your system I couldn't say.
Sometimes three beeps indicates a keyboard error...you could try another keyboard or unplug yours and see if it will boot up "normally" without it.
Otherwise, report back with some more info and we'll take it from there.

My machine is just rebooting time without number. after i deleted some files from the temp folder. can you help get the windows xp3 to update it. thanks bright.

The file deletion may not be the issue. You may have some sort of virus or spyware interfering with the system boot. You may have driver or setting that is not fully resolved from an update. My initial suggestion for a solution would be to restart in Safe Mode, wait for the computer to fully load all of the basic drivers there, then just restart in normal mode and see if that fixes it. The next suggestion is to restart in Safe Mode with the Administrator account and load an earlier System Restore point. After that, it gets complicated.

Pc restarts automatically and unexpectedly

Good Evening Sunnyseber :


Hope that you are wellJ
You did not indicate the type of Operating System.
This document pertains to HP and Compaq computers with Windows Vista. If Windows Vista suddenly starts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it may be because your operating system is set to automatically restart when certain system errors occur. This feature of the Windows Vista operating system can be disabled. Use the information below to disable the Automatically Restart option. NOTE: In addition to the steps in this article, updating video card drivers is known to resolve many of the problems that can cause the computer to restart. Step 1: Disabling Automatically restart option to view error messages You can prevent the computer from restarting by turning off the Automatically Restart option:
  1. Click Start c00971562.gif .
  2. Right-click Computer , and click Properties
  3. Click Advanced system settings .
  4. Click the Advanced tab and select Settings in the Startup and Recovery section.
  5. Remove the check mark next to Automatically restart under System Failure .
  6. Click OK to close the Startup and Recovery window and click OK , again, and then close the System Properties window.
  7. Restart the computer. NOTE: The computer will no longer restart automatically when a problem occurs. Instead a blue screen appears with more useful information. You can now search for a resolution using the text from the error.


If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

And, remember, always include the type of Operating System and the type of computer you own, when you submit your questions. It simply makes for much faster solutions.

Have a wonderful evening.

Wont turn on


Hello,

At this situation we can try power drain.

Try doing power drain by taking out the battery & keep holding down the power button for complete one minute to drain out the power from the computer components. Restart the computer after putting the battery in.
Try restarting the computer only with the AC power, without the battery & vice-versa.

That should resolve the issue. If the issue persists, then the only option is service center.
