Why is my computer so slow?!?
Answers:
RAM is not the only problem with the computer it could also be a worm or trojan which will use alot of the memory to send it's programs out to other computers and infecting them as well as causing problems on your computer.
Memory error means RAM.
RAM speeds up the computer, if it is bad then it will be slow.
Try to change the RAM you have.

also you should try this program

Heres a few reasons why it might be slow:
1) It's just plain old.
2) It's in need of more ram (Random Access Memory)
3) The CPU is getting a little over heated from either dust build-up on the heatsink or from doing too much multi-tasking.
4) Too much spyware.
5) If its only slow on the internet it might be:
a) Too much network traffic (from alot of people being online at the same time)
b) Your connection needs to be refreshed/repaired ( which can be fixed by right clicking on the active connection in Start/settings/control pannel/network connections.
6) Your computer is in need of a restart.
If that doesnt fix it then you might just want to bite the bullet and go buy a new PC.

4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK.
5. Click OK.
3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:

3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"
4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab
5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.
