System requirements
Steam is just a program to run anddownload games, and exchange of information between players. Because of this, the system requirements for the application on the PC are very low - even the old computer can cope with the start of the program, so this reason is unlikely.

- processor with a frequency of 1 GHz and higher;
- at least 512 MB of RAM;
- operating system Windows XP or newer;
- to install the program will need from 500 MB (not including downloaded games).
Connecting to the Internet
Steam completely synchronizes with itsservers, so connect fully to the system with poor access to the network or its absence is impossible. If the reason is hidden in this, then the main Steam screen will give an appropriate error when loading. Also, all the pages of the store, inventory, etc. will be loaded for a long time. In this case, the problem should be solved on the side of connecting the PC to the Internet or troubleshoot the provider. Try to reboot the router and go back to "Steam".

The next reason why "Steam" lags isload on servers. Active users often face this problem. In this case, you will not be able to fix this moment yourself - you will have to wait for Steam employees to restore the serviceability of the service. Also lags can be during prevention. For example, if you play online with other players, and at this time the connection to the server is interrupted, you can not open a list of friends, etc. This indicates preventive work on the server. Usually they last no more than an hour. So just wait.
Problems with the client himself
