Symptoms of a Sick PC

Chris Botterill

You may notice when you get a brand new PC fresh out of the box it whizzes around like a top; flinging windows here and there, only taking seconds to complete the most complicated tasks.

  • Then you start to notice it doesn’t have the zing it once did, and:
  • The PC takes longer to start
  • Programs take longer to open
  • Error messages start to pop-up and say you have missing or corrupt files.
  • Your screen flickers and your desktop Icons disappear and reappear frequently

This is about the time most people go to their CD collection and dig out the reformat or recovery CD. They toss it in the CD drive and minutes later their computer is back to the way it was when they first bought it. Many people do this and lose ALL their data!

This is unnecessary most of the time. It pains me to think of how many people go through this process everyday. Take some time to look around this site and learn how to optimize your PC!
