My Windows 7 PC has an Intel Core i3 550 CPU with a processing power of 3.20 GHZ. It also has a 4GB RAM. The problem is that this computer is so slow for no reason at all. Installing an application is a nightmare since you have to wait for a couple of hours. Streaming a video leads to lags all through even though my internet connection is 45Mbps. Please help me find a solution for this.
