No one wants a computer that keeps freezing on them. Trying to work with slow computer performance is very annoying as well as time wasting. You can do something about this and stop it.

Here are five reasons for this and how you can fix them.

• Lack of RAM: Ram stands for Random access memory. This is storage that programs need to be able to work. As soon as you start a program it is loaded into the RAM or memory and if there is not enough your computer and the program will come to a halt. Either add extra memory or remove programs that you do not use which are using all the memory.

• Temporary files: these are files that windows install during program installation and never uses and other files such as temporary internet files and other unused files which use disk space. you can remove these and clean them up with the windows disk clean up program.

• Defragmentation: If the disk becomes fragmented this means that all the programs will become scattered all over the disk disk and your PC will slow down as it attempts to find all the files required to start and run a program. Running the windows disk defragmentor will defragment files and speed up the computer.

• Update your Operating system: Its no use running windows without the latest updates. The only solution is to patch up security loop holes or performance related problems so that your system is faster with latest updates.

• Registry corruption: This is perhaps the biggest reason for computers freezing and reporting errors. The registry stores all the settings and information for windows and as errors occur windows slows down and starts reporting errors. Removing and fixing these errors is easy. All you need to do is to download a free registry scanner. This will find all the errors and allow you to fix your computer quickly and get rid of slow computer performance.
