Tips To Diagnose And Fix A Slow Running Computer (Part 2)

On my last post, "Tips To Diagnose And Fix Slow Running Computer (Part 1)", I have recommended some free tips and Security Tool to remove and protect your computer against Virus, Spyware and Malware that might be harmful to your system.

Today, I am going to move a step further to share with you some computer maintenance tips that you can DIY to make your computer run even faster and smoother other then buying more memory (RAM) or getting angry thinking that your computer is getting old and there's nothing else you can do, then to replace it.

2. Optimize Your Computer for Better Performance

Another common issue with some of my users is they have zero knowledge on basic computer maintenance, hence there is no maintenance done since the day they brought their computer.

Using Computer is just like driving a car, a car without maintenance will break down more often then car with maintenance. Therefore, if you want your computer to stay fast and healthy, it is recommended that you create a preventive PC maintenance plan, at least twice a month to maintain your PC with some basic task.

Here we go :

Step 1,
Remove away Programs or Games that you no longer need or play.

Removing a program is not that difficult as what you think, what you have to do is:
Click the Start button and Select Control Panel,
Double Click the "Add or Remove Programs" icon for XP or "Programs and Features" icon for Vista & Windows7.
Here you can find all the programs which are installed in your Computer,
To remove any of them, click once on the program you want to uninstall and then click on Uninstall/Change and follow the prompts.

Step 2,
Empty your recycle bin

Step 3
Defragment (Defrag) your computer follow by a Check Disk to ensure that your hard disk are errors free.

Step 4
Fix registry errors

You must be wondering why I did not elaborate further for Step 2~4, right ?
No worries, it's because I have found a very powerful free software that can do all that for you in just a click.

Download Advanced SystemCare Free 4 from CNET.COM
http://download.cnet.com/Advanced-SystemCare-Free/3000-2086_4-10407614.html?part=dl-6271865&subj=dl&tag=button
Note: During the installation, you will be prompt to install "IObit Malware Fighter", "Game Booster" and "Smart Defrag", some free programs that attached to the installation of Advanced SystemCare. For my case, I removed the tick as I do not want any other programs to be installed in my computer but if you are keen to try out these applications, just leave the tick there and click on the "Install" button to continue the installation.

After the installation completed, Advanced SystemCare will start by itself, just click on the "Deep Care" button, follow by the "Scan Now" button, it will start to scan and diagnose your computer for errors. Once the scan completed, just click on the "Repair Now" button, sit back and every thing will be done by itself.

Recommendation:
For the first time, I suggest that you repeat to scan for the errors after the repair completed until the errors completely fix.
