Adding Physical Memory
If all the above methods doesn't work for you, and your system speed is still slow then you might be having low system memory. You need to add additional RAM (Random Access Memory) on your system. RAMs are easily available in the computer shops. You can also add RAM in your system by yourself. Just turn off your computer and unplug all the cables from your system. Open the system case and you will find RAM slots having locking clips and groove in them where you can easily place the RAM. Put the RAM on the slot and push it until it’s completely in the slot. After putting RAM in slot, lock it with the locking clips at the end of each slot. After connecting RAM, plug cables and turn on your computer to know that if everything is working. If it is working then you can put case back.
