Hi Kashi,

In addition to using our software, I recommend the following tips to tackle your PC problems:

1. Try the 9 step plan given below:

2. Replace Norton Anti-virus with a program that is smaller, lighter on system resources and just as effective. AVAST Free is a great choice. You can also use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

3. Download and run this app on your computer:

Check to see if your CPU, GPU and HDD temperatures are normal esp . when the cursor movement gets finicky.

4. Clean out the air vents on your notebook using a can of compressed air

5. If you recently installed a Windows update or hardware device, try uninstalling it and restoring recent changes.

Let us know how you go with these suggestions. We\'re confident you\'ll see a change in the performance and stability of your notebook.

Good luck!

Hi Kashi,

Follow the beolw steps to resolve this issue:

1) Uninstall unused programs
New PCs come with a whole load of programs you will never use, and you probably don’t even know they exist.
Some programs even run background processes when you load your computer, even though you are not using them.
To remove all these pointless programs, open the Control Panel’s Programs and Features page, and have a trawl through the list of installed software. Uninstall those that you do not need, while being careful to leave programs your computer’s hardware needs.

2) Automatically delete temporary files

Temporary files amass on your computer through everyday tasks and can remain on your hard disk, slowing the computer down. Getting rid of these files, including your internet history and cookies, should give you a larger amount of hard disk space, speeding up your PC.
To do this, open “My Computer”, and select your local drive (usually C:\). Select the “Windows” folder and then open the folder titled “Temp”.



Use your mouse to right-click on the folder, and in the “View” options, choose “Details”. Once this is done, select all the files that are older than the current date and press the delete key. Then go to the Recycle Bin on your desktop and empty it.

3) Remove unnecessary start ups in your PC
This method will primarily affect how long it takes for your laptop or PC to startup, but often many of the programs which are launched on startup continue to run and use up your computer’s memory.

To do this, click “Start” and “Run”. In “Run”, type “msconfig” and then press enter.
You should then see the “Startup” tab, with all the programs ticked the ones which will load upon your computer starting up.
There is a good chance the list will contain a number of programs you might not have realised were running on your computer during startup, or even at all.



You can either manually deselect those which you do not want to load, or click “Disable All” and then select those you want to run, such as particularly important programs like anti-virus software.

Another option is removing all the unnecessary fonts Windows loads. Windows 7 loads more than 200 fonts on startup which can slow down the speed at which it boots up.
Go to the Start Menu’s search box, search for the Fonts folder and check off all the fonts you don’t need, and click the “Hide” button in the toolbar.


4) Run a disk defragment
Go to “My Computer”, right-click on the hard drive and select “Properties”. Under the “Tools” tab there should be an option to “Defragment Now”.




5) Run disk clean up
Windows also includes a built-in disk de-cluttering tool called “Disk Cleanup”.
It searches through the system for unnecessary large files such as temporary Internet files, program installers, and so on.
Open Disk Cleanup by clicking “Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup”.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Lokesh
