I have a few containers running in my local machine but since my computer is responding extremely slow as I haven't shut it down in many months. But I don't want my containers to be deleted if I restart my computer in order to make my computer fast again. I want to know will it kill my local running docker containers if I restart it? or does it keep docker containers in memory?

All your container will be stopped when you reboot your computer. Docker will try to gracefully stop them.
If you run your container with the --rm flag, the container will be deleted on stop, otherwise, it will continue to exists.
If you run your container with the --restart flag with the value always, when the docker daemon start, the container will be started. Else, you need to start them manually with docker start <container id or name>
