ok so when i first use my laptop it seems like everythings fine, than all of a sudden it gets extremely slow. i cant do anything. if i leave it alone for like an hour it usually goes back to normal. but i dont understand whats making it slow down in the first place. i ran multiple anti virurus scans and found nothing, aswell as malware scans. just cant figure out what this could be. thanks in advance
do you ever empty your temp file?
Have you ever refreshed the swap file?
If you really want to get our attention:
Please identify your notebook/pc with more than the series number.
Look at the base/rear/side of the notebook/pc at the barcoded sticker.
Post items numbered 1 and 2 on the following image.
###Do not post the serial number as it is personal information.###
Post the installed operating system version ( and whether it is 32 or 64-bit )
Not posting the information as requested will delay our responses to the core of the issue that led you to author a thread.

Right click on Computer and select properties. Now select advanced system settings.
Now select the settings button under performance. Now select the Change button under Virtual memory.
Highligh the C drive and then Select Custom size.
look below and use the number that you see to the right of Recommended.
Put that number in as the minimum and maximum values for the custom sized swap file.
Now select the Set button and then select OK.
You can select OK on the other open windows to close them.
Your PC will restart and will be noticeably quicker.
You have just tweaked your swap file size and virtual memory settings.
This is a duplicate of some information I gave to another member. Cut n'paste!
