Why Is Your Computer So Slow? (Common Causes We Fix Daily)

Slowdowns rarely have just one cause. Our experienced technicians diagnose the real issue, which is often a combination of:

1. Ageing Hardware: Traditional hard drives (HDDs) become sluggish over time. Upgrading to a Solid State Drive (SSD) is the single most effective speed boost.

2. Software Bloat & Clutter: Too many start-up programs, temporary files, fragmented data, or outdated software dragging performance down.

3. Malware & Viruses: Hidden infections silently consume resources, track activity, and slow everything to a crawl.

4. Insufficient RAM: Running modern applications without enough memory forces constant, slow disk swapping.

5. Overheating: Dust-clogged fans or failing thermal paste cause processors to throttle performance to prevent damage.

6. Outdated Drivers/Operating System: Missing critical updates can lead to conflicts and poor efficiency.

Our Ascot Slow Computer Fix Process: Simple & Effective
