laptop going slow Hello,
Lately My laptop has been going slow, I don't Know why and very hard to manage it exemple if I want to open my computer i Need to wait Like 10 secs or more while when on vista it was like 3 secs (same for windows 7 when I installed it) but Now I need alot of time and my CPU keeps Loading I don't know why even when i am not doing anything. Someone suggested that I put something to cool it down but it didn't work so far for me.
Is there a program or anything that making my laptop slow and my CPU always making this sound ? "SHHHH..." like it's loading or something..
Thanks for your help.

If your fan is making loud noises then I would recommend returning it to the manufacturer for repair. Could explain why your computer is running slowly. When using your laptop, make sure your not blocking the air vents as that will contribute to the loud fan noise.
Also, just open up Program's and Features from Control Panel and uninstall unwanted programs. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire 6920g OS Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.10, Vista CPU 2.4Ghz Motherboard Acer Aspire 6920g Memory 4GB Graphics Card 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9500M Sound Card Integrated with Virtual Surround Sound & Dolby Home Theater Hard Drives 320GB |

I would recommend backing up your data to a memory stick in case your laptop breaks. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire 6920g OS Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.10, Vista CPU 2.4Ghz Motherboard Acer Aspire 6920g Memory 4GB Graphics Card 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9500M Sound Card Integrated with Virtual Surround Sound & Dolby Home Theater Hard Drives 320GB |

I am only using Firefox and the noise is so annoying its seems like my laptop is going to blow up  . I think you'd better check your default settings. May msn automatically runs when you turn on your pc. And you should scan with your anti-virus program. good luck. | My System Specs | | |

Hi try this, type into the Search Menu, msconfig and then open it, go to Startup and click on it
when it opens untick everything there except your Anti Virus whatever that may be, press apply and yes and restart, and we will see if anything changes. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Build 64bit OS Vista Ult64, Win7600 CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2400 MHz 64bit OS Motherboard Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi @p 64 bit OS Memory 4096 MB DDR3-SDRAM Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 3870 Series x2 Crossfired Sound Card Realtek on board Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster - 23 inches Screen Resolution 1680x1050 pixels at 60 Hz in True Colors Keyboard Wireless Mouse Wireless PSU Cooler Master 1000w Case Cooler Master Cosmos 1000.
