What are the computer components that can slow the computer down?

Answer 1

There may be software or hardware issues that affect the speed of a specific application or the computer as a whole.

Hardware issues: components of the computer that are faulty or overloaded, for example, the hard drive, the CPU, the internet connection or the network connection.

Software issues: viruses, programs that require more resources than the computer possesses (memory, processor speed, etc.), a non-responsive program, anti-virus and other protective software, or other active programs running that are not in use or that are performing tasks in the background.

Answer 2

The main factors that slow the computer down are mainly the motherboard, amount of L1 cache on the processor, RAM speed, hard drive speed, and bus speed.

In a nutshell, the weakest link is the one that bogs everything else down as the slowest component you have on a computer would make everything else running faster slow down consequently to match the slowest component's speed.

A dirty CPU / CPU Fan can also cause it to run much slower than it originally did.

Answer 7

Computer runs slow issue may appear if the system is infected by some malicious application. You have to search and remove that application from your system. For your convenience download and install a powerful antivirus program. Run a complete PC scan to detect viruses and remove them from your system.

And mostly computer runs slow issue occurs due to broken Windows registry entries. Fixing registry will help you to boost up your laptop. You need to download and install a Registry Cleaner program to fix corrupt or broken registry entries. To download a reliable registry cleaner, go to famous website download.cnet and search there Reginout. Which I personally use and recommend the friends. After downloading run all of its tools one by one except Internet Optimizer, to clean all the junks and registry errors from your computer.
