have to contact a computer tech support company to speed-up and optimize
your computer. There are some things you can try yourself first.
If your computer is more than five years old, it probably is time to
consider getting a new one. It probably just doesn't have enough memory
and RAM to be able to work fast enough to satisfy you. If the computer
is for business purposes, you probably will want to upgrade every few
years.
Whenever you are experiencing problems with a computer, it is a good
idea to try restarting it first, especially if it hasn't been shut down
for a day or two. This will restart programs that may have developed
errors that could be fixed on the restart and will delete temporary
files that may be causing problems.
When a computer is slow, make sure it has enough memory. If it
doesn't have at least 500MB of free space in the hard drive, it won't
have enough room for the swap file to increase and for temporary files.
You can check the space on your hard drive on a Windows Vista
computer or newer by opening the computer icon on the desktop. For older
Windows computers, you can open "My Computer."
If you do need some more space on your hard drive, you can
right-click on the drive that you want to fix and select "Properties."
Go in the General tab and select "Disk cleanup." This will look for ways
to clear space on the drive. Do not try to compress the drive, which is
one of the disk cleanup options. Make sure that box is not checked.
If this doesn't clear enough space, you can try to disable
hibernation mode if it isn't already. You can do this in the Control
Panel under "Power Options." When hibernation mode is disabled, you will
need to shut down your computer when you aren't using it to save on
power.
On a computer with Windows XP or newer, you can choose to decrease
the default space used for System Restore, which could yield several
gigabytes of space on your hard drive. Go to Start > Programs >
Accessories > System Tools > System Restore and click on "System
Restore Settings." Decrease the space usage so you have enough room on
your hard drive.
If you have enough space on your hard drive, try running Scan Disk or
a similar program to look for errors that can be easily fixed. If this
doesn't yield satisfactory results, you can try to defragment your
drive. Go back to the drive and right click on it. Go to Properties >
Tools and click on "Defragment now."
Another problem could be malware. Run antivirus software on your
computer to check for any malware that may be slowing down the computer.
Follow the instructions presented on how to get rid of any malware
found.
If your computer also has been locking up or shutting down randomly,
it could mean that your processor is overheating. This could be caused
by improper ventilation due to vents being dirty or fans not working
properly. Try cleaning the outside of the case with a dry cloth and
vacuuming out vents. You also could try opening the case and using a can
of compressed air to clean out vents, fans and components. Compressed
air can be found at an electronics store.
If your computer is still slow, you may want to consider contacting a
computer tech support company, which can help you speed-up and optimize
your computer. They can diagnose problems based on your specific
operating system and hardware on your computer and recommend the best
way to speed-up and optimize your computer.
