Very slow system
I have a Dell Vostro 3555 laptop with an AMD A6-3400 CPU, 3.GB RAM, 64-bit operating system. Over the last couple of months, the machine has gotten slower and slower. I first noticed an increase in the amount of time for the computer to start up, and now the lag affects every application. Based on what I have read in previous threads, the first place to start in correcting this issue is to examine the system start up. One question I have is what the minimum processes that should be allowed at system start up? This is a fairly simple machine, that primarily only runs an antivirus program, Microsoft Office, and Google Chrome.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to improve performance of this very slow computer are much appreciated.
