Slow running PC Problem

Problem: You have been noticing your PC is running slow now-a-days as compared to previous times. It is taking lot of time to boot and application response is also very slow. Check the following solutions that best suits your requirement.

Solution:

• Check if you are running low disk space on the system drive (usually C: drive). Make sure at least few GB of free space is available.
• Login as Admin or with an account that has administrator previleges if you have not already logged in so.
• Clean up the system. If you still see there is only few GBs of free disk space on the drive (applicable to any drive), plan for hard drive upgrade.
• Then Defrag the drives.

My PC was starting up minutes longer than the super fast few seconds it took and programs were lagging. As mentioned here, on giving my HDD a 'checkup'( not used to doing it regularly) i realized how negligent i had been in maintaining its health. The drive shows almost complete fragmentation and has about 14% free space. Its almost as if a disease has reached its final stages and emergency treatment is required.
