HOW TO KEEP A COMPUTER RUNNING FAST



                          When you first buy a new computer, it runs very smooth and fast. But later on we notice that it has become slow and freezes. Let me share my personal experience . One month ago, my PC was working all fine. After that I had to install many new software for some reason. Then, I realised that Windows startup took way too much time. So I decided to search what may be the cause.

                            It’s because of the temporary files and garbage registry values added to the system through various ways like installing new software, adding and deleting files from hard disk, downloading items from internet.
                           So here, I am sharing 5 basic steps to get your PC running faster and smoother.

1. Remove unwanted software

  • Go to control panel.
  • Then add/remove programs.
  • Now uninstall the software which you don’t need.




2. Update Antivirus Software

  • Update the antivirus software you have on your PC regularly.
  • Then perform a full system scan so as to remove all the malware from your system.

3. Delete Temporary files

  • Go to start->run.
    Then enter “%temp%” (without quotes) and hit enter.
    A windows comes up. Select and delete all the files in it. (I had around 150 files in it).

4. Delete Prefetch files

                   Then enter “prefetch” (without quotes) and hit enter.
                    Now select all files and delete them.(I deleted all my45 files).

5. Deal with Registry Errors

  • Download CCleaner software from http://www.ccleaner.com/ or click the following link CCLEANER to download.
  •  Install CCleaner in your computer.
  • Now open CCleaner and go to registry.

Then click on “scan for issues”. Wait till the scanning is complete.
  • A list of many registry errors will come up.
  • Select all the issues. Now click on “fix selected issues”.
    and then confirm it.
                    So now our registry garbage is also cleaned.
                    Finally, restart your PC and notice the changes in terms of speed yourself.
                    I noticed a tremendous change following these steps. Now, my PC is much faster than before.
                    Hope you will like this post. Give me comments about this post.
