Thankfully, an owner can keep a computer for several years if they take excellent care of the machinery and are privy to ominous warning signs. Here are five reasons signs that you may need to replace your computer.

Slow Start-Ups
Ideally, a desktop computer or laptop will take only a few minutes after it is turned on to be ready for use. In many cases, start-up programmes that have made their way onto your hard drive either willingly or unwillingly can cripple your operating system, causing a long wait before the device is ready to receive a command.

Slow Response To Clicks
Desktop computers and laptops are built to have split-second response times to commands. If your computer is taking a moment or two for itself before it opens the internet or any other desktop programmes, it is likely a sign that the processor is being occupied by the demands of pesky, unwanted programmes, such as spyware.

Unable To Play Video Files
In a world were computer files come in about as many different formats as soda pops have flavours, it can be quite a task for an aging computer to play each and every one for your viewing pleasure. If your computer is no longer playing most video files, it may be time for a new one.

Blue Screen of Death
This screen pops up immediately before a computer shuts itself down, usually due to overheating or an error brought on by an inability to read internal files.

Low Resolution
A computer or laptop that is displaying the desktop and web pages in an incredibly low resolution is a sign that your computer has sent itself into safety mode, most likely as a result of an internal error that is best treated with the purchase of a new computer.
