I think I need to update my computer. I am not a tech guy so I have to ask. The main issue I am experiencing is that when I click from one tab to another in a browser it takes too long to load that new page. Is that a slow processor? or RAM? I have a good internet connection. The computer I have now is light on RAM at 8GB, processor is Intel 3.40GHz so, as I go out shopping for a new computer, what stats does it need to have to be a good computer for trading? this will probably be a desktop with 2 screens like I have now... please do not make fun of my lack of hardware knowledge..
Win 10 64bit 8GB+RAM-more is better-not more than 16GB Quad Core processor-I like I5 from Intel, you don't need I7-You can save money with a quad core AMD Ability for 2 monitors-if that is what you need SSD is better than HD but not worth the extra cost for normal trading.
Tried rebooting? Tried installing a different browser to see if the problem is browser specific? If it is, it could be a recent (or more) extension/addon etc. that's causing the problem.
It's difficult to diagnose your problem without more info. As Robert Morse suggested, copy your hardware config in your next posting: Simultaneously press the Windows Key (the one between the Ctrl and Alt keys) and the Pause/Break key. That will bring up Control Panel with a summary of your System. We will need the following: Windows Edition, Processor, Installed Memory, and System Type. Will also need the Browser type (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox) before giving a recommendation.
That could be a failing hard drive. First establish if it's software related. Download Ccleaner and run a full clean of redundant temp files and registry entries. If that doesn't fix it, reinstall the browser and do a hard drive error check. Last resort, run some diagnostics and try a new hard drive. Good luck.
