Cause of a slow computer that 4th is already swelling of temporary files. For Windows Xp location of the file is at: "C: \ Documents and Settings \ name_user \ Local Settings \ Temp" and "C: \WINDOWS \ Temp".

To clean, wipe the files contained in both locations or run Disk CleanUp program by click start-run, type: "cleanmgr" and select the drive to be cleaned.

5. Many Security and Antivirus programs installed

Security programs such as antivirus programs and firewalls is an additional application that must exist on the computer, but do not be too overwhelming for example by installing a 2 to 3 antivirus programs at once.

Usually occurs after the computer is infected with viruses and infected files that are already damaged or deleted by a virus. The easiest solution is to repair your operating system is used.

9. Overheat hardware.

Both the hardware overheating occurs on the hard disk, vga card, cpu processor or in general can lead to reduced performance of the computer that eventually the computer to hang, slow or even frequent restarts. To make sure that air circulation on the inside of the CPU running well as well as the fan must be clean of dust and can rotate smoothly.

10. Connectivity Problems on Networks

This could happen due to high network traffic, hub or switch that hangs or any viruses that try to get into our computer system.
