predator p03 630 My machine keeps slowing down.

My machine keeps slowing down. It is like a 1990 pc struggling to do anything. What can be the problem?

It is laggy or just keeps staling.

W11 is 6 months old.

Run an antivirus scan from windows security, if nothing comes up it could be a issue with the windows installation itself, back up important files and go for a fresh install, if problems persist beyond this point. Then next thing would be hardware, could be a problem with the ssd or hard drive where windows is installed or an issue with the ram, you could also try and reseat the ram.

Few more things that can cause this:

1) Could be that you are running out of storage.

2) CPU temperature is too high and causes throttling.

3) Does Windows recognise all your RAM? Could be that other stick is loose or dead and only 8Gb is being used.

4) See if there is a program that is using all RAM or CPU cycles. Malware and hidden mining apps can do this.

What specs does your PO3-630 have? (note the PO for Predator Orion, not P0 for Predator Zero) You might be running low on memory, you might be only using a HDD instead of SSD. If you run Task Manager when in slow mode, is the HDD at 100% activity?
