good day fams. please my pc is giving me problem. the laptop takes more time to booth. it can take like 4 to 6 minutes to booth when i switch it on. once it is on, the system is very slow and it hangs for no reason and whenever it hangs, i will not be able to use it again unitil i switch it off. another problem is that the keyboard stops working. what could be the problem with my laptop? or is my hard disk at fault here? the hard disk is not up to 100gb

Firstly- System booting time can get slower when its abruptly shut down due to power outage (bad battery) or pressing on the power button till it shuts down.
The best way to shut a PC down is to do it using the windows interface.
So, I believe yours is caused by pressiing on the power button or removing the battery because of it freezes.

Secondly- Booting time can be altered by number of startup programs when you power on. This, therefore can be disabled. Through the taskbar manager. (Just select the program you don't want to start when the PC is booting). Depending on the windows version.. you can also use the run program then type " config.msc " select startup tab and disable any program you want.

Thirdly- PC freezes due to the size of RAM. Having at least 4gb is okay to run most program smoothly. Also good for multitasking. If yours is less that 4gb, upgrade

Does the keyboard work before it boots to windows ? : you can test this by using any of the function key F9 or F2 or F12 ( different PC brands have different ways) to boot into the bios setup. If you are a le to boot to bios setup, Your keyboard is fine, else bad keyboard.

The only solution to solve all the problems you mentioned, if what I recommended doesn't work is to do a clean format. Do a backup of your important files first before that.

First scan for viruses

Do a system recovery

Clean your RAMs or upgrade them

Lastly, if symptoms still persists, format the laptop..
