Question: my computer is slow and shuts down
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Join the club Peggy ;o)
I have noticed that seems to be the trend in user questions these days. Most users think that they can use their computer indefinitely without doing any maintenance and it will always work the same. Unfortunately, because of updates to software (such as windows, java, flash, adobe) your computer over time will begin to slow down just from the updates. The only cure for this is increasing your RAM by adding a memory chip into your computer
Another thing that slows down a computer is spyware. If you go to my blog and lookup articles on Spybot http://JustAskEd.blogspot.com. One of those articles gives download info Download Spybot-Search and Destroy here. This helps with 80% of the users I've helped complaining of a slow computer.
Viruses can also slow down a computer so you should check that your virus protection is current and working. If you don't have good virus protection you can download AVG Anti-Virus and install that to check for viruses and protect your system.
If you're still having problems it could be a hardware problem. Computers can have malfunctions. You can check your maufacturers site for warranty information and repair services.
Hope this helps,
