I have had my computer for about 2 weeks. Suddenly it has gotten kinda slow and some of the apps that it comes with are not opening. Any suggestions?

My computer has not slowed down but we did lose functionality on some apps but for only one user. Other users continue to be able to access them. No clue as to why or how to recover

HP provides some level of software support especially on the first call. Have you contacted them? Also have you been running security software Anti-Virus and Firewalls?

Internally: No idea... externally yes. But it is slow and locks up as it is. I think its the windows 7 op system that is the problem.

Mine has been fine. I haven't been using my computer for heavy tasks though. I'd stay cautious though since it is an enclosed space.

I would suggest getting a refund and ordering a new one. I've only had to reformat it once and I've had it since February. No other issues with it.

Well I hope I could help but to be frank, my has never given me such problem since I bought it. It has lasted for some months now and it is still up and running as if it is still new. you need check to see if virus isn't in the system

Be careful - mine started making clicking sounds at the same location one night and promptly crashed an hour later, so I'm guessing it was the hard drive. I managed to reboot and reinstall using the "ghost" behind the preinstalled partition, and it functioned just fine for the next couple months until today, when I started hearing squeaky noises from the same area. I promptly shut it down and haven't opened it back up yet, but a quick search of the Asus forums also suggests hard drive issues. I've had this netbook for about 15 months, so I'm a little disappointed but not surprised I'm running into problems. You should definitely back up all your files (good practice in general anyway)!

Yeah i've noticed the same. There is often a pause as well like it's loading or something. Pretty odd.

Mine is two years and still going strong. Try taking it out and reinstalling

Try to reset the tablet back to it's original "out of box" configuration. You'll have to download all your personal apps again, but that's your best shot.

I don't know what any of that means, but I can tell you it's one of the slowest computers I've ever had. I've got an old msi gt660r and it starts up and runs apps and websites about 7 times as fast as this piece of junk. Maybe it's Win8.1 but if I was you I'd avoid it.

I am sorry but I have no idea why. I have had no problem with mine. only thing I can think of is was it properly installed.

If you can, try another make/ model. This one is awful. It was OK for a few months but it is a bitch now, freezing up, losing apps, losing pics and documents and it won't multitask well if at all.

Thanks guys... downloaded Ubuntu from the master site and within a hour almost all my WIN apps that I needed are running.Very fast indeed. Now if only I can get some programming tools to write some small apps, I'll be all set. Have Windows all my computer life and want to see what else is out there.

I've not down loaded any apps. I mainly got it for Internet access while away from home. Sorry! Wish I could've been more helpful
