Many of us think that when a computer starts performing poorly that it’s time to buy a new computer. Does your desktop or laptop often hang on the hour glass for several minutes at a time?
Always take the Follow Precautions below:-
1. Let your PC boot up completely before opening any applications.
2.Refresh the desktop after closing any application. This will remove any unused files from the RAM.
3. Do not set very large file size images 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 a lot of shortcuts. Each shortcut on the desktop uses up to 500 bytes of RAM
5. Empty the recycle bin regularly. The files are not really deleted from your hard drive until you empty the recycle bin.
6. Delete the temporary internet files regularly.
7. Defragment your hard drive once every two months. This will free up a lot of space on your hard drive and rearrange the files so that your applications run faster.To defragment your hard drive go to my computer icon on the desktop and right click it then go to manage options,there you will see “Disk defragmenter”. Click it then analyze and defrag your drives.You can also defrag your drives using third party software like AVG PC tools,Disk Defragmenter etc.
8. Always make two partitions in your hard drive. Install all large Softwares (like PSP, Photoshop, 3DS Max etc) in the second partition. Windows uses all the available empty space in C drive as virtual memory when your Computer RAM is full. Keep the C Drive as empty as possible.
9. When installing new Softwares disable the option of having a tray icon. The tray icons use up available RAM, and also slow down the booting of your PC. Also disable the option of starting the application automatically when the PC boots. You can disable these options later on also from the Tools or preferences menu in 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 out any dust from the CPU. Never use vacuum.
Extra Tip:- Keep your Desktop Screen as Clean as Possible, Deleted Unwanted Software and Keep Only Need Icon on your Desktop.
