Probably, many wondered how to speed up the computer. Most are mistaken in thinking that it is very difficult, and you need to call the masters or someone else. But this is not so, since you can increase productivity yourself.
Of course, if you have never opened the system unit, and have not seen what's there, then it will be a little difficult for you, but still everything is possible.
So, acceleration of the computer should begin with a search for weaknesses and reasons why productivity is low. Roughly speaking, there are only two options. The problem is either on the software level or on the hardware. The first option is simpler and does not require special financial costs.
How to speed up the computer at the program level
If your computer began to terribly "slow down", and this has not been observed before, then you need to scan it for viruses. Perhaps viruses are launched that require a lot of resources and thereby slow down the system.
It also happens that a bad antivirus is installed that does not catch some viruses. In this case, you need to look at the system configuration, and see what programs are hanging at startup.
To do this, click the "Start" menu, and then "All Programs" - "Accessories" - "Run". Or on the keyboard, press the “Windows + R” key combination, and then the “Run” window will open immediately. After you have called this window, type "msconfig" and press the "Enter" key. As a result of these actions, you will see "System Configuration".
In this application you need to open the startup tab. There will be a list of programs that are loaded with the operating system. Opposite each will be a box (checkbox), where you can either check or uncheck.
It should be noted: in order to determine which programs are superfluous, you need to at least understand them a little, know their names and understand what they are for. Once you identify unnecessary applications, disable them and save the settings. For example, most normal programs can also sit at startup, but you do not use them constantly. Disconnect them too.
For example, when you install programs such as: Nero, Adobe, Mail.Ru agent, Skype, Winamp and many others, they immediately appear at startup. Or at least some of their mini-application. They occupy a huge space in RAM, especially if it is small.
How to speed up your computer if cleaning the startup did not help
There are times when it is necessary to demolish Windows and install a new operating system. This is necessary in the following cases:
• if cleaning up the startup did not help;
• programs again and again appear in startup;
• Your Windows has been installed for a very long time (they have such quality as "fly" over time).
Install a new operating system, or make recovery existing. When installing the OS in the menu there is such an item as "Recovery" (not to be confused with recovery using the command line). In this case, your system files and the entire Windows folder will be updated.
How to speed up the computer at the hardware level
Of course, there is a banal reason that your computer "freezes" - it has very weak details. If the machine (computer) is weak, then you do not need to load it heavily and demand something incredible from it, like from a powerful computer of the latest generations.
What to do and how to speed up the computer in this case? Everything is simple. Buy new parts. But it is very important to understand that you can’t buy them thoughtlessly. It is necessary to select devices in such a way that they can be connected to each other and that they function normally.
In other words, you should not buy wheels from a tractor for a Zhiguli car. If the computer is completely old, you will have to replace all the parts. To the new motherboard, the old line of RAM will not work. The old processor will not work either. You can leave the hard drive and optical drive.
Reconfigure your computer wisely.
