My slow PC
Hey, your PC has been acting up lately—slower performance and declining health. You’re seeing "low video memory" warnings, which can point to resource issues. Try checking processes using Task Manager to see what’s consuming memory or CPU. If you notice background apps or startup programs hogging resources, consider disabling them temporarily. For hardware, a lightweight upgrade like a faster RAM stick (if budget allows) or a solid-state drive could help. Cleaning up by uninstalling unused software and scanning for malware with tools like Avast or Windows Defender can also improve stability. Keep an eye on temperatures and ensure proper ventilation—overheating can worsen performance. Let me know what you find!
Consider following @LloydLynx’s advice and removing Avast. From what I understand, Avast is mostly unnecessary. Windows Defender works well for most users, and I believe your setup is similar.
