Laptop computer running slow
Operating system making system slow and no function can be performed smoothly. This kind of problem is very common among most of window users, especially who are using win 2000 and win xp. This problem is not just limited to laptops but it is very common in desktop computers also as same operating systems are required to run both desktops and laptops.
There can be many reasons for running computer slow. There can be virus issues which might have attacked operating system who is using most of the resources of the computer. It does not leave behind much of the memory for the rest of the important processes to run computer smoothly. In this case what is the most recommend step is to scan computer for viruses and malware. Most of us know about viruses but malware or worms are new things which have started attacking more often these days. The task for malware is to upload information stored in the computer to the server and then certain actions could be performed using the information retrieved from the host computer. These entire process takes quite bit of memory of host computer hence makes it slow.
We can check the usage of our system by right clicking task bar and then click on “Task manager”, multiple tabs can be seen, representing different functions. Application tabs shows current applications which are been executed by computer, processes tabs show the current processes running and also tells useful information about the memory each process taking. The performance tab tells the usage of CPU. It should normally be, 1 to 5 % and if it is more than it, either many programs running on your computer simultaneously or there may be malicious activity going on within the computer.
In win XP SVCHOST.EXE, is the most common and active process you would see running into the processes tabs this process is about internet and network connectivity, there are many changes that your system is running slow as this processes is taking lot of memory and putting you computer to its maximum use. We need to monitor it carefully to find exact reason why it may be happening. Scan computer to verify that there is no malicious activity going on due to virus or malwares.
Third party software or services can be the reason for slowing down your computer, if we detect that 3th party service and disable it, system will start running smoothly. Some times when we leave behind open internet explorer windows it slows down the computer too and make SVHHOST.EXE to boost system usage, so it is recommended that if internet explorer is not required keep it closed until browsing the internet is required.
If you have not reset your laptop for over 24 hrs, it is recommended that you restart your notebook to run fresh operating system. It will unload useless processes which are uselessly taking place in laptop memory.
