windows vista - Computer too slow


I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit in my HCL Beanstalk machine with 1 GB RAM. The processor is Core 2 Duo. But my system has become too slow to work. "Not Responding" messages have become frequent. It gets stuck whenever i try to open any application. It shows up even if i open My Computer. I have formatted my machine 3 times but the problem still exists. I tried to install windows xp but the audio driver was not working so i had to reinstall Windows Vista.
Also want to know if system problem can affect broadband connection as the connection gets lost many times in a day.


Answer



One of the best and cheapest ways to improve performance on a PC is to increase the RAM. I would try installing 2 GB of RAM and see if that helps at all. If not, I would suggest backing up your data as soon as you can and get a new hard drive. As Ramhound said, it is also very likely your HDD is failing. Also, you could try running Disk Defragmentor which comes with Windows systems. This will rearrange the data on the HDD closer together to improve performance.
