Why is my computer running slowly?

Could it be the addons I have? I have like 20-30 of them.

I wouldn't imagine that's the problem.. If you mean an add-on for a browser, possibly, at least, for your internet. If you mean in Gmod, then I don't think that would affect anything.

 Turn off your computer more often :o

My suggestion is to wait until you get that new PC Jorici. How long until you are able to order parts?

Restart, also, how old its it? Is it making any weird noises? Is it coming up with more errors than usual?

And maybe you should shut it off and give the hard drive a break. Running it for THAT long is probably not very good for it.

Think about anything that you might have changed since it started slowing down. Did you install anything new, change any settings, etc?

Trial Photoshop. That's about it.

I installed Age of Chivalry, Killing Floor (guest pass), and Zombie Panic: Source.

I uninstalled them but it is still running slow.

4 fps in TF2 DX

Clean out the dust from inside your computer, I got 5fps more


the fans on my processor and card were working flat out to keep it cool, even with nothing running.

I restarted, no viruses, maybe my computer is wearing down? just getting to this page took me >2 minutes.

A virus scan wont hurt. But thats not likely the problem.

Have you ever tried a Registry Scan?
Try CCleaner.
And,
Check your RAM.

And last,

Turn off your computer for a bit. That is very likely the problem.

Computers don't wear down much on their own.

Do you happen to be running though any proxies. If you aren't, check anyways, some malware will mess with your settings and run you though one. Check firefox and your computer settings.

Firefox
Windows Proxy Settings

If either of these are set to use a proxy and you never messed with the proxy settings, you have a problem.


Also, make your task manger (ctrl-alt-delete) window big enough to see all your running processes and post a pic.
