Slow Computer Hard Drive
Slow Computer – - – How To Fix A Slow Computer Easily
It is for sure that every computer will run slow as days by and an upgrade of the RAM module /graphics card helps to directly fix a slow computer. Here, we will discuss what will cause and how to fix a slow computer.
First of all, let’s have a look at what will result in a slow computer:
1) Too many startup items. These will take up lots of PC resources and then slow down computers at startup.
2) Too fragmented hard drive. Fragments on the hard drive will make the data non-continuous and difficult to be read /written, which will extend the disk visiting time.
3) A non-compact windows registry. As we install /uninstall programs or browse websites, there will be lots of invalid registry items left over. These will result in computer sluggishness, freezing-up or crashes.
For the above reasons, we can quickly fix a slow computer with the simple solutions here:
1) Disable the programs that do not need to automatically run at windows startup: go to Start -> Run -> type “msconfig” and press Enter to access System Configuration Utility, and then disable the unneeded startup items in “Startup” tab.
2) Regularly defragment the hard drive. Though a disk defragmentation seems rather easy, it helps to reassemble files on the hard disk, making them always stay close contiguously. Hence, it will not only fix a slow computer, but also extend the lifespan of hard drive.
3) Clean up windows registry frequently. Windows registry is the main soul of the computer, which decides its proper running. So it is highly recommended that you should run a registry cleaner rather than manually to fix registry errors, whose advanced technology will return you a compact registry and faster computer quickly.
In a word, all tips above are really useful to fix a slow computer. If you are so annoyed with your computer which runs as slow as a snail, please do not miss the points here.
