Suddenly my pc shut down realy slow.

Hi Guys,

Sins 1 or 2 november my pc shutdown takes ages… (last time 5 min.)
Wile normaly before it only toke 5 sec. to shutdown,
I am very clean with my pc and ive no intrest in random programs,
Near blender 3D i use gimp and sometimes i play a legit buyed game,

What ive done :

Ive started windows 7 in save mode and restart it again and it only toke the usual 5 sec,
I think it should be a backgorund program cousing it?


Ive been looking last 7 days on the internet to solve this problem but i cant get it clear,
got a lot of stuf about adds buying programs and fixes thats not for my windows 7…

I hope one of you can help me,

Might be a good idea to use a virus scan program just in case. However, if your PC is quite old, then you may consider upgrading. This kind of stuff ought not happen. Back in the days I also had a PC that did the same - problem never resolved AFAIK. So I moved on.

A virus/malware scan should be one of the first things you should do, especially if this was a sudden event and not the result of a slow degradation.

Over heating can look like that,

how is your heat sink?

laptop? how is the battery?

Did you check for updates?

If something failed to install your system might be trying to install it every day since.

A similar thing happened to me smart phone. Sometimes I’d charge her up and then a few hours the battery drained. Found out that all the photos we tooks was uploading to the innernet all by herself without me knowing. So managed to solve that one matey.

Thanks for the fast response i really appreciate that,

I was just typing a whole story on here to awser everyone,
