Reformatting the Hard Drive
As you use the computer, despite your best efforts, the hard drive slowly turns into a hopeless mess, filled with out-of-date data files. Weighted down by corrupted files. Loaded with no-longer used programs. Beset by a Windows Registry filled with errors. In time the only way to return to computing sanity is to reformat the hard drive.
