| Computer is going slower than normal
Well I am using an Acer Aspire 7720z, and I have been noticing that its been going slower than it ussually did(month ago), I checked for viruses with Avast Antivirus, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Adaware, and also the fan is shot. What is happening? Is there any way I can boost this performance? Any answeres are appreaciated.

Fix the fan, your issue will be fixed.

Oh alright thanks  , but for the time being what should I do until I can get the fan? I heard cooler rooms will help it, and also the fan is cooling the CPU (dualcore 1.46ghz) but anyways once again thanks for the help. | |

You could get one of the cooling pad things that sit under that laptop, that would help some.
Other then that, try to keep it to where the underside is lifted off the desktop so it can breath better. That's about all you can do until you replace the fan. (which is really cheap BTW) | |
