Yes, all computers need a set of instructions or program to tell it how to function. This what a operating system does for a computer.

Why operating system is a necessary part of computer?
The most important program that runs on a computer. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs.

When a computer's operating system is down does the computer run very slowly and inefficiently?
No. If the computer's operating system is down then the computer is also down. A computer requires a functional operating system of some kind. If there is no operating system at all, you must install one by booting the system from an operating system installation disc. This, in turn, loads a limited but temporary operating system sufficient to complete the installation. If there is an operating system but it is damaged to the point the computer will not boot at all, you must re-install the operating system. If the system fails to boot due to a driver issue, you must reinstall the faulty driver. A system typically runs very slowly when the chipset driver is not installed. A generic driver will be installed instead, but this often leads to less than optimal performance as certain hardware features will not be available. Indeed, any major driver (graphics, audio, network, fixed-disk, SM bus, etc) that is replaced with a generic driver can lead to reduced performance. Another common cause for reduced performance is incorrect hardware settings in the BIOS setup.
