Why does my computer slow down and sometimes boots me off ?
I can be on my COMPUTER and its running fine then all of a sudden it slows down, freezes or boots me off. I am hooked up to CABLE and was wondering if the people in the other apts in my building are on their laptops and using the internet cause I’m on it ( someone help me with the right terminology) will it make my computer act up ?

No, other people using the internet can cause your internet connection to slow down but it can’t affect your computer. As far as why your computer is doing what it’s doing – I could make about half a dozen guesses, but in order to find out what’s actually happening I’d have to have your computer. If you can’t diagnose the problem yourself, take the computer to a competent repair shop.

There have to be two issues:
a. Virus Infection (Use Avast free)
b. Corrupt Registry/System errors (Use Reginout )
I am sure it will fix for you.

It’s not your computer, it’s not the ISP. that’s slowing your computer down or logging you off, The problem is windows period There is a way to find out just how fast your computer is
Go to this website and download a free alternative operating system, and make a boot able CD/DVD or a boot able Flash drive. and boot your computer up with that, go on the net, and you will see that your computer is fast, it will never slow down or boot you off,
