hello,

It could be the motherboard , but you may have just downloaded a large number of programs that run on start up and/or have very little hard drive space left. You may also have downloaded a virus. I recommend making sure that you have a decent amount of hard drive space left. and you can also upgrade your ram

Experience (since windows 3.0) has taught me a solid state hard drive is worth much more than ram.

The best option is to get any and all files that you want to keep off the computer and then just do a system restore. This will remove EVERYTHING off the computer and it will most definatley run faster. If your computer has all these preinstalled programs that you dont want, get the program Decrapmycomputer and it will remove any unwanted programs. Now in this day and age, if you have 4gb of ram its useable but its best to have 8gb if you have only 2gb you need an upgrade but anywhere from 6-8Gb of ram is plenty and useable. If you have that much ram and you restored it and its still very slow, it could be your hdd. An SSD can be a pricy upgrade (depending on how large you get it) but its totally worth it.

Hope this helps any people who come here in the future looking for answers!

There are many free AV and Malware programs out there that will remove unwanted viruses/spyware.

I recommend - AVAST Antivirus due to it is free and it has a BOOT Scan which will scan the computer for viruses during boot-time.

I also recommend - Malwarebytes for scanning for malware even though it isn't free it has a trial period and it will still remove malware during that time-frame. If you want it then Amazon sells a lifetime code for it.

Both of those programs should be able to clean up your laptop significantly.

Last but not least you can run a disk clean-up on you HDD's using your computers File Manager.

Start>Computer>Right Click HDD>Properties>And by the Pie Chart of the HDD +"Disk Cleanup".

Then you can also goto Tools tab and use "Error checking" and "Defragment"

Remove unnecessary Application and files, make sure to save your files on allocated drive where OS are not installed. Then try to Di-fragment your drives... check the memory details or try to upgrade if possible. :)

You can resolve this issue simply by putting your heavy apps on sleep Mode.

-Press "Windows Key + R" together.

-Then "RUN" will open, type command: msconfig

-Then, select "Selective Startup".

-Go to "Services" tab.

-Deselect the apps those you don't need to startup while booting up device.

Also, i would recommend you to install "Avast 2017-18" antivirus. Run this app, and also install along with "Avast Cleanup", this scan your pc and would give you suggesstion to put heavy apps on "Sleep Mode".

I am using an Asus X442UQ with

4GB of RAM, Core i5 - 8th Gen, 1TB HDD..

It was terribly slow and hanging sometimes.

If you go to task manager, on "Performance" tab, the MEMORY part, which is your RAM is on 100%.

So I bought an 8GB Kingston DDR4 ram and installed it to my Asus to have a total of 12GB of RAM,

and it is now running very smooth - a perfect machine.

Advise to you guys, since the RAM of asus is upgradeable, just upgrade your machine and all your "slow" problem will be fixed.

My machine was running 100% CPU useage all the time. I updated the ATX drivers from http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/Apps... Resolved the issue and now have a well tamed machine. ASUS site is well out of date.

I am not pretty sure about why is your ASUS laptop is running slow. But I can mention some points which may be responsible for your laptop to be slow:

1. Scan for malware and viruses, until you find some virus for first time.
2. Clean your hard drive by removing some junk file like temp files, error data.
3. Start disk defragmenter, sometime c drive get heavily defragmented while defragmenting disable your antivirus.
4. Sometime you need to increase the capacity of RAM.

Many reasons can lead to your ASUS laptop lagging. You can find solutions from these aspects:

1. Try updating the Graphics card if it is outdated since it matters much when you play games.

2. Of course, you can upgrade RAM if it is insufficient.

3. Faulty hard drive also may cause computer lagging. Run Command Propmt and use chkdsk x: /f to check and fix some logical errors.

4. You can also choose to upgrade OS.

If it worked before fast… It means it is not a RAM issue. The best way: save your data (photos, videos, doc… On a USB key and format your Hard Disk as factory (destroy virus too). Brand new!!!

Computers run slow for a few reasons. The FIRST thing you want to do is the easy things.

B4 you start, define WHEN it runs slow. On boot, on the internet while browsing, when running a specific app…..

1st - run TFC - download and run from desktop = this cleans out temp files, caches, etc. Some malware might be residing there.

2nd - run CHKDSK = open a CMD prompt and type CHKDSK C: /f = scans your HDD for errors. A major cause of slowness.

When you run this it will ask if you want to run it after a reboot. Answer yes and reboot. If you have other partitions/drives do the same for them (change drive letter). They won’t require a reboot.

If you just want to see if there is trouble on C: do not enter /f and it will run without a reboot and tell you if there were any errors. You then need to run the /f to Fix the errors.

3nd - run SFC = in the same command prompt type SFC /SCANNOW = this will fix any system file errors

If it comes back saying it found errors and could not fix them, then you will need to run DISM

You must be online for this to run

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

All of these will take a long time, especially CHKDSK if it finds errors. Just wait for it. I have had it take all night to finish.

At this point, test it. If it is still slow you need to run a complete AV scan.

After that, if it is still slow, boot in safe mode to see if it still runs slow. If not, then you have an app that is using a lot of resources.

Open Task Manager to see what it might be and close any that are using a lot.

If it is still slow, a RAM upgrade might be needed. This would be indicated if it runs slow with your browser or other app.

Lastly, an upgrade to an SSD will help.

good luck
