PC keeps freezing and slowing down
in IT Support ·
Maybe I can help you out. Personally, I run Windows 8 and it works fine for me.
1) Maybe your PC is just overheating and freezing up because it can't handle something.
2) You might have some app or service hogging all your CPU. Check the Task Manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) and see what's eating your processor.
3) Could be a virus. Try booting into Safe Mode (I think you hold SHIFT while starting up), which only loads the basics without all the extra junk. Then run some scans with Malwarebytes, Avast Antivirus, or whatever else you've got.
4) Check your browser extensions—just strip out anything you don't actually need.
5) Honestly, it might just be a dying hard drive.
Anyway, let me know if that does anything.🙂
