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
computers ventilation grills are not blocked.
