How to increase performance of your PC

Now a days PC is an essential part of everyone. this is because of the multitasking capability and multifunctional design of PC. There are various types of PC’s according to persons need. The PC’s varies from low end (simple and basic) to high end (advance and high tech). But after some time PC start to lag and become slow regardless of what type of PC we use. It can happen due to many reasons.

Whenever such issue is faced most of people try to reinstall or restore windows. sometimes the issue is resolved if the problem is due to (virus,worms etc). But mostly this extreme step didn’t help. So before going with this extreme step in which you have to copy and backup your data etc, you should give a try to these ideas first.

Simple steps:-

Keep you desktop clean:-

I don’t mean physically clean. Just keep only necessary icons on the desktop screen and delete or move extra files from there to some drive. This will make you desktop look good, wallpaper will be more visible and it will increase speed a little.

Reduce Startup load:-

It is easier than it sound. By startup load i mean the number of programs that run when the windows is started. The lower is the startup load the higher is the performance the better is the speed and PC will start faster.

Remove unnecessary Programs:-

You should figure out which programs you no longer need and remove them as it will same memory and will make your PC work faster.

Keep memory free:-The free memory is very essential for better performance of computer. you should always have some free memory in all drives and if possible you should keep drive C: (or drive i which window is installed) more than or nearly half empty.

Antivirus and other Tune up softwares:-

Virus , bugs, worms, trojan horse etc are also a major cause for the slowing down of the PC. This can be easily handled by use of a decent antivirus software. Besides Antivirus there are other tune up software which helps you optimize performance of the PC like Tune-Up utilities.

Advance steps:-

Defragmentation:-

Our PC’s memory is made up of cells or fragments. each fragment is used to store data and when ever the data is deleted the fragment become empty but is not used until all Fragments are not filled or Defragmentation is not done. the more the memory is fragmented the slower PC will be.

To perform defragmentation:-

Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories >Systems Tools > DiskDefragmenter

Then select the Disk Drive which you would like to defragment, and then click on Defragment Disk.

Increase RAM:-

If the above steps wont help then changing windows might not work either this means either your RAM is low or Hard drive is slow. If RAM is slow then you can simply install new RAM and increase performance.
