10 Tips How to Speed-Up Your PC (personal computer)

10 Tips How to Speed-Up Your PC (personal computer)


1.Let start your PC completely before opening any applications.

2.Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will remove all unused files from the RAM.

3.Do not very large set of image file size as your wallpaper. Do not keep a wallpaper at all if your PC is low on RAM (less than 64 MB).

4.Do not clutter your desktop with many shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM

5.Empty the trash regularly. The files are not deleted from your hard drive until you empty the trash.

6.Delete temporary Internet files regularly.

7.Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will free up much space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your applications run faster.

8.Always make two partitions on your hard drive. Install all the software size (such as PSP, Photoshop, 3DS Max, etc.) in the second partition. Windows uses all the available empty space on the C drive as virtual memory when your computer's RAM is full. Keep the C Drive as empty as possible.

9.When installing new software, disable the option of having a tray icon. The tray icons use of available RAM, and also slow start your PC. Also disable the option of starting the application automatically at startup of the PC. You can disable these options later also from the Tools or preferences menu of your application.

10. Protect your PC from dust. Dust causes the CPU cooling fan to jam and slow down thereby gradually heating your CPU and affecting the processing speed. Use compressed air to blow dust from the CPU. Never use a vacuum cleaner.

RAM IS THE WORKING AREA (office) of the CPU, keep it as empty and uncluttered as possible!
