My computer is getting problems and slower? How to fix or Should I get new computer?

how should I
Kevin asked:


Lately like over the last week I feel my computer is getting very slow has several prolems.
This is a list of some problems
1. Unable to turn off computer(fixed)
2. My CPU constantly warming up.
3. Either unable to open email or very slow (my family usee aol and i use yahoo both has this problem on this same computer we share).
4. Similar sites all of a sudden becomes very slow and some are fast.
such as yahoo.com takes a sec.mail.yahoo.com takes forever.

Is there a way to get it to move faster or is it time for me to get a new computer?

Also I have a dell desktop and has had it for 1 and a half year.
Another problem is I am trying to download a aprox 4 mb document where it is taking over 15 minutes and at most it supposively should be taking less than 3 mins normally. The internet speed i have is verizon high speed.
Sorry but I am not so good with the computer.
What is a clache, clipboard and defrag?

    Go to internet options and delete cache.
    Run diskcleanup or CCLenaer and delete temp files, and other junk.
    Its likely the drive is severely fragmented. You could download the trial version of Diskeeper08 and then set it on automatic mode. It defrags faster than the Windows tool and the defrag is thorough.
