hi guys, i am currently using an -acer aspire 5935g, running windows 7, it seems to be running slower than usual, every 10-15 minutes or so it just stops and says "internet explorer not responding" also on the bottom of the laptop it seems to get quite hot near to where the fan is situated, is there any help or advice on this please, hope to hear from someone soon, cheers.

then select REGISTRY and SCAN FOR ISSUES and then FIX ISSUES
4.if u have a air compressor then use it very gently around ur air vents on ur laptop
also would like to see what temputures ur hardware is getting
install the upload and give use the temps of ur cpu and gfx card -
Make sure your OS is up to date, check Windows Update and allow all updates..
Make sure your Laptop has the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed..
Run a full Virus & Spyware Scan... Check for Malware using Malwarebytes..
Do as Cod3wax says and stop any unwanted programs starting automatically, or better still, uninstall any unwanted programs..
Do not use compressed air on the air vents, all it will do is blow fluff and dust deeper inside the laptop... If the air vents look a bit fluffed up carefully pass the end of your Vac cleaner nozzle across them...Comment

Try to clean the fan and heat sink. I had the same problem and it works fine.Comment

Reverse air flow
Use compressed air but use it on the air out vent . this will blow the hair, lint and fuzz right out the intake vent. I've been doing this for years with 100% positive results on more laptops then I can count.Comment

Yeh and you might also cripple the PC after sucking bits off the board..
Back on topic, a would run Ccleaner, do a defrag and update the usual suspects like Java, Flash, Adobe Reader and of course Windows updates.
Like others said, hit it with a can of air but do not use a hoover.."Windows - A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."Comment

Ma post was directed at Hammerfrog who simply stated use a vacuum..
I never said squirt compressed air into a laptop, i assumed the guy was going to take the panels off it and give it a good service..
If he had done then putting a vacuum across it isn't a good idea, i didn't see your initial post..
But then 3 yrs at college and fixing PC's for 18 yrs, what do i know....."Windows - A thirty-two bit extension and GUI shell to a sixteen bit patch to an eight bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."Comment

Not to start an argument here and I'm sure you've had a bad experience at some time with compressed air at a very HIGH PSI setting, but to say it's Silly is not very helpful IMHO.
I've been using compressed air set at no more then 30 p.s.i. for the last 20 yrs. by blowing the air thru(in) the exhaust vent and out the fan's intake without any problems. I would say to becareful and use the right technic as this can be very helpful and not IMHO SILLY.
