When a computer starts running extremely slow and a simple restart fixes it, what is really happening?
In: 216
the ram or memory on your computers is like a worktable. you can only put so many things on it at a time to work on.
when you pull out one project (software) and them put it up it, not all the tools make it back. a screw, piece of tape might be left on the work table. eventually these things clutter up the space so much that you have to work around them and move them etc.
rebooting the computer takes everything off this worktable and cleans it back to its fresh starting position.
turn off the things that auto start on boot to further keep your worktable clutter free.
