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.
