Computer
performance is important to every PC owner and user. There are several
ways that you can boost the performance of your computer, without having
to pay for expert advice or technical help.
Once
you bring your personal computer home from the store or receive it in
the mail there is no one around to offer basic personal computer
maintenance tips for cleaning up and improving performance of your
computer. Maintenance and cleaning up of your PC should be part of a
regular routine to ensure that you don’t have any long-term problems
with the computer.
If still your PC is running at a snail’s pace,
then perhaps you have a low computer memory. Perhaps the software you
constantly use take up a lot of memory just for them to be installed and
to run. Even if you are not currently using the software, they can be
running in the background, causing your system to slow down. If this is
what you have detected, then uninstall some of the software that you
rarely use to maintain your PC.
One other tip that you should
definitely consider is to always use the scandisk and disk defragment
tools that are available freely on all computers. These programs monitor
the health of your disks and help to reorganize the data in a manner
whereby the computer can easily access, without taking the time to sift
through cluttered databanks. A fragmented disk that clutters up over
time is inevitable, and the tools here will help eliminate the problem.
The
windows operating system stores crucial information about your computer
in a database file. In this database it stores information about your
hardware, software and settings you made to this software and hardware.
This data is crucial to keep your pc running smoothly. All the changes
which are made to the pc are stored as keys in the registry.
If
your computer slows down quite a lot, you most likely need a registry
cleaner program to check your computer’s registry database. This
internal PC database is vital for a computer that performs at top speed.
Poorly-written software programs can leave traces behind and introduce
errors into your registry. Be sure you get a highly-rated registry
cleaner that has a good guarantee.
ncreasing the memory on your
computer is highly recommended and in today’s market comes at a very low
cost. It will then dramatically increase your RAM (random access
memory). Using certain software can alert you to the other servers that
are running low on RAM. You can also check your performance via the task
manager in your computer settings.
Also, it is important to run a
good anti-virus program to keep your system from becoming infected by
viruses and worms, both of which can cripple not only your computer, but
your entire network. With a bit of searching, you can find some great
free anti-virus programs that are available for download. There are also
a good number of excellent commercial programs available for purchase.
These
simple steps will help you improve the performance of your computer
without necessitating any additional costs, unless you need more memory.
