How To Make Your Computer Run Faster

Many people will be planning on upgrading their laptop or PC this new year, but here are few ways of avoiding a costly new purchase and improving your PC's speed.

Few ways to improve your desktop's computational speed by easy method are mentioned below.




1) Uninstall Unused Programs

Some programs even run background processes when you load your computer, even though you are not using them.

To remove all these pointless programs, open the Control Panel's Programs and Features page, and have a look through the list of installed software. Uninstall the programs  that you do not need, while being careful to leave programs your computer's hardware needs (typically their publisher will be listed as the PC maker's name or as Microsoft).

If you are still unsure about which programs to use, try a third-party called such as PC Decrapifier- it's free for non-commercial use - which should tell you which programs you don't want or need. Click the link provide above to use it.

2) Automatically Delete Temporary Files



Temporary files amass on your computer through everyday tasks and can remain on your hard disk, slowing the computer down. Getting rid of these files, including your internet history and cookies, should give you a larger amount of hard disk space, speeding up your PC.

3) More Hard Drive Storage

Even if you make sure to regularly clean out all your temporarily files, if your hard drive becomes 85 per cent full, it's going to affect your computer's speed.

If you regularly film videos or use your PC for recording television, then you will want as big a hard drive as you can get, upwards of 1TB or more in size.

4) Use More RAM or Extend Your PC's Speed 

RAM, which stands for Random Access Memory, is the temporary storage memory used by your computer and is in use when tasks are being executed by different programs. Therefore, the more programs you use, the more RAM you need, and the slower your computer will be if you don't have enough.

A clear indicator of not having enough RAM is if your computer slows down every time you try and process large files, or it freezes will carrying out several different actions at once.

You can either add more RAM with an extra memory stick or two, or buy getting completely new memory if all the slots are taken. There is theoretically no upper limit on the amount of RAM that you can have with a 64-bit operating system, but in practical terms 4GB is more than enough for most of the common people.



5) Make Your Desktop and Laptop Clean 

This sound little weird but it is true, your laptop or desktop's speed truly depends on the atmosphere around the hardware devices. Incidentally, overheating will also make it impossible to use programs such as Skype, because for the person on the other end of the conversation it constantly sounds like an aeroplane is taking off
