When you purchase a new laptop or a PC it’s usually boots up very fast and performs really well but over time as you use your device more your machine tends to slow down. This might happen in a few short months and sometimes after years. This is because when you first purchase your computer there isn’t anything on the device but as you start using it you download files, install software and browse the internet and your device gets bloated with unnecessary files and hog the system. Some of the prime reason for your computer being slow are listed below.

1. Not having enough RAM
   Not having enough RAM adds an extra pressure on your hard disk to compensate for the memory your RAM fails to provide which results in your device slowing down so it is crucial to upgrade your RAM to boost performance of your computer.
2. Background Applications
   Windows or other software’s usually have scheduled tasks that perform actions as you boot your computer or at certain specific times without any notice. Too many of these tasks contribute to your PC slowing down.
   3. Almost full Hard drive
   When your hard drive gets to 95 percent full, computers can slow down by 50. At this point, there is no space to save the temporary files required for operating programs, so your OS fails to function properly which slows down the system.
3. Too many browser add-ons
   Browser add-ons are used to enhance your web experience but too many of them will result in slowing down your computer by using up your computers processing power. Some add-ons can also harm your device by automatically downloading malwares.
4. Antivirus program
   If it’s not the antivirus program, it could be a virus that your computer is infected with. Viruses and other malware can slow down your computer as they mess around with everything from hijacking your browser to crashing your computer at random times while you’re in the middle of a really important task.
