Performance Problems
The computer becomes hot -
In a 35
o
C environment, the certain areas of the
computer’s back case are expected to reach 50 degrees.
Make sure the air vents are not blocked.
If the fan does not seem to be working at high
temperature (50 degrees Celsius and up), contact the
service center.
Certain programs that are processor-intensive may
increase the computer temperature to a degree where
the computer automatically slows down its CPU clock to
protect itself from thermal damage.
The program appears stopped or runs very slowly -
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to see if an application is still
responding.
Restart the computer.
This may be normal for Windows when it is processing
other CPU-intensive programs in the background or
when the system is accessing slow-speed devices such
the floppy disk drive.
You may be running too many applications. Try to close
some applications or increase system memory for higher
performance.
The processor may have been overheated due to the
system’s inability to regulate its internal heat. Make sure
the computer’s ventilation grills are not blocked.
