A slow computer can be frustrating, especially when you're in the middle of important work or gaming. But did you know that a sluggish PC might be a sign of deeper issues?

1. Slow Startup and Shutdown
If your PC takes forever to turn on or off, it could be due to unnecessary startup programs, a failing hard drive, or outdated software. A professional check-up can speed things up.
2. Frequent Freezing or Crashes
Does your computer randomly freeze or shut down? This can be caused by overheating, software conflicts, or failing hardware. Ignoring it can lead to permanent data loss.
3. Strange Noises or Overheating
Loud fan noises or excessive heat indicate dust buildup or cooling system failure. Overheating can damage your CPU, GPU, and other essential components.
4. Programs Take Too Long to Load
If even the simplest applications lag or crash, your PC might need a RAM upgrade, disk cleanup, or a full system optimization.
5. Pop-Ups, Errors, or Unwanted Programs
Random pop-ups and errors can be signs of malware or a corrupted operating system. A professional scan and cleanup can restore your PC’s security and performance.
