not blocked. Leave a 10.2-cm 

(4-inch) clearance on all vented 

sides of the computer and above 

the monitor to permit the required 

airflow.

2. Ensure the fans are connected 

and working properly (some fans 

only operate when needed).

3. Ensure the processor heatsink is 

installed properly.

Hard drive is full.

Transfer data from the hard drive to 

create more space on the hard drive.

Low on memory.

Add more memory.

Hard drive fragmented.

Defragment hard drive.

Program previously 

accessed did not release 

reserved memory back to 

the system

Restart the computer.

Virus resident of the hard 

drive.

Run virus protection program.

Too many applications 

running.

1. Close unnecessary applications.

2. Add more memory.

Some software 

applications, especially 

games, are stressful on the 

graphics subsystem.

1. Lower the display resolution for 

the current application or consult 

the documentation that came with 

the application for suggestions on 

how to improve performance by 

adjusting parameters in the 

application.

2. Add more memory.
3. Upgrade the graphics solution.
