Acer 5749 Series Laptop: Slow Performance and Freezing Up

[Jesse Williams]

Today, I was on my sister's computer and she was too. The computer became very slow and was freezing up. The same thing is happening on our Windows 8.1 desktop.

I have just recently ran full scans and defrags. The computers found no threats.

This computer is having a hard time logging off and shutting down now. Any help? Any suggestions? Can someone look at this thread?

Try a clean startup - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorial...ation-conflicts-performing-clean-startup.html

You can also check the Registry to make sure:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
[B]ClearPageFileAtShutdown = 0[/B]

Okay. Thank you, GokAy. I will try that the next time it does it. Both computers seem to be running fine today. They have a mind of their own.
