Laptop suddenly really slow

reece15503 · Feb 13, 2015

So I open up my laptop after a windows update and it's suddenly really slow, taking like 20 seconds to open google on start up, Not displaying some pictures, some videos not starting and just in general slow I also noticed that recently my Laptop has been getting really hot so It could be connected?

I would do a virus scan first. It may be thermal throttling but most likely it will be a rogue process that is eating up your CPU clocks.

so what do i do to fix this?

Run something like Malwarebytes FREE and do a full scan - post if it comes up with anything or not.

I don't think a virus scan is going to do anything, I would personally point to a dying hard drive if it's a slowness issue, but not having pictures or videos not starting could be an issue with the motherboard or something even more serious.

Odds are you are probably right but IMHO it's always good to double check the basics

Yeah but that's the equivalent of putting touch up paint on a car when your bumper is about to fall off.
