Q. All of a sudden my internet browsing become very slow. I use IE but whenever I load a page it takes time not the way it used to be. And sometimes it says about DNS server but my connection settings are fine. Sometimes it does not even load a page. I tried using Firefow and other browser but it's all the same. I tried my anti-virus which is avg pro but it does not change anything. I also tried msconfig and disabled my startup. I defrag also and run a ccIeaner but there's still a problem. have a broadband connection and it is fast. What could be the problem? Is it my internet connection? but I did not change anything? I remember I just Installed an online game before this happened then I uninstalled that game and reinstall again. But what happenned is, I can't connect to any online game because the patch of the game doesn't come out or show. My computer also become slow and sometimes it freezes. Please help.

A. As you know, many factors influence computer speed. When I'm called to work on a slow computer, here are the steps I take (and in this order):
1 - Delete all cookies, temp files and temporary internet files and reboot the computer. Watch for unusualy messages as the computer boots up. Before you run the programs below, clean up (delete) your cookies, temp files and temporary internet files. I prefer to use Ccleaner (available at www.filehippo.com) to do this, rather than the built-in DISK CLEANUP. If you want to use Disk Cleanup, you can find it if you:
- Double-Click on My Computer to open it up
- RIGHT-click on your C: drive
- Choose PROPERTIES and then click on the DISK CLEANUP button
Delete these files every day or run Ccleaner every day right before you shut your computer down.
2a - Check the main hard drive free space - it must be 25% free or it will slow your computer down.
2b - If 25% or under free space, move less needed files to a CD (make 2 separate copies!) and delete from hard drive. Also uninstall programs no longer needed, via Add/Remove programs
3a - Check what is running in your Systray (by the clock). Use MSCONFIG to turn off all programs NOT needed to run all the time. For example, you don't need your CD burning software to run *until* you need to burn a CD - at which time the software will start by itself. Ditto for Adobe Acrobat! Then re-boot the computer for the changes to take effect. Win 2000 does not have a built in MSCONFIG - but there is a free version available for download on your computer from:
http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/Msconfig.htm
3b - Some of this can also be accomplished using Task Manager. Right after a reboot, open Task Manager and check for all running processes. Make a list of them! You should have less than 40 running at startup for efficient operations. At 40 and over you can have significant slowdown. Google all you are unfamiliar with and keep notes for yourself. When you find the computer slowing again, you can compare your new list of running processes to the original list and go from there.
4 - Update and run your Anti-virus program. Ditto for anti-spyware and anti-adware programs. Google the programs you are currently using for mal-ware protection to ensure they, themselves are NOT mal-ware!!! FYI - I like to use "Ad-Aware", "Spybot, Search & Destroy", and "SuperAntiSpyware", all of which
are FREE and can be downloaded from www.download.com Be careful of "look-alike" programs, with similar names to known good programs. If you need a good FREE anti-virus program, I prefer Avira to AVG, also available from www.download.com For all of these programs you will need to download, install, update and scan, one at a time. The latest AVG has been slowing down some computers GREATLY.
5 - Get rid of all unneeded programs via Add/Remove programs. ONLY remove programs you have installed yourself that you KNOW are not needed for Windows to run. It is better to be less aggressive with this, than more! Always reboot your computer after deleting several programs.
6 - Last, run Error-checking THEN Defrag. DO NOT RUN DEFRAG WITHOUT RUNNING ERROR-CHECKING FIRST! If you have a bad hard drive sector, you can hose your computer!!
You can find both of these programs by opening My Computer, right-click on the the C: drive, choose Properties. On the TOOLS tab is are two buttons, one for each program. When you run Error-checking, make sure you check both boxes to automatically fix file system error AND scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
Another source of computers slowing down:
Running a large program all the time - for example, the comprehensive anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall all-in-one type programs. They tend to want to do too much, at the cost of speed. If you suspect this might be the case for you, turn off that comprehensive program and see if the issue goes away. If so, consider less resource-intensive programs!
HTH!

help on gaming computer?
Q. so i been trying to find a computer online for gaming, i want it to be decent and cost arround $700, i dont care about the monitor i just want it to come witha keyboard and mouse, i been looking on for about 2 months now but still cant find one, one time i found one but its out of stock now, if it can run almost any recent game like bf3 or far cry 3, crysis 3 on ultra settings it would be great.i have been lookin in iBUYPOWER , NEWEGG, ETC. please someone help me! i really dont want to build one
A. ULTRA SETTINGS ON A $700 COMPUTER????
Good luck with that.....
Around $700 you are barely in the low budget gaming computer area....
Also, a gaming computer is NOT something you buy.
You either build it yourself or custom order from a reputable builder like AVA Direct, iBuyPower or CyberPowerPC
Here is the best low budget gaming PC you can build for around $750:
Yahoo answers will only allow up to 10 links, so I have to leave out the not so important components. Just copy paste in the search field on Newegg to find them, I will give the full name but no link for those.
BEST BUDGET GAMING DESKTOP PC BUILD FOR THE MONEY (under $750.00USD for the tower only)
Monitor, keyboard and mouse can add from $175 to over $500, depending on size and model you want.
All prices are in $USD and in the USA, current as of December 2012 and they might be slightly different one way or the other by now.
Also, some shipping charges may apply to some of the items.
Add your state sales tax if you reside in NJ, CA or TN - that's where Newegg has warehouses.
Look for similar parts on Amazon, Tiger Direct, etc if you want to avoid paying Uncle Sam.
