Why is my laptop computer running so slow? My laptop computer is only 2 years old and was working fine until the last few days.
It's now taking forever to load my browser and whenever I start typing in the address bar of my browser, then the browser starts hanging up and I get page is unresponsive.

Check and make sure your vents where your fan is are not blocked by dust or anything. If it's getting to hot your computer can slow down and cause unresponsive pages.

Do you have too many things running at one time? You might have to close some programs on your computer or some of the tabs if your computer doesn't have enough ram to handle all the tasks.

Another thing you should do is run a virus check to check for any viruses that you might have. Malware and other viruses can make a computer slow down.
