Four Steps to Clean Up Your PC and Boost Its Performance

PCs are awesome these days. They can do as much as a super computer used to when we were growing up, but why be satisfied with yesteryear’s numbers when you can clean up PC performance with these 4 easy steps:

Step 1: Clean Up Inside your PC

  Precautions: Anytime you handle the guts of your computer make sure that you and your machine are well grounded. Don’t let static shock become a shock to your wallet when you have to replace a part. Make sure to unplug your machine, just in case, when performing your operation. Finally, be careful of turning fans too much and dislodging screws and wires.

If it’s been awhile (or never) you might be facing a daunting task: PC’s collect a lot of dust. Use a small electronics vacuum (never a full sized one – they generate static electricity) to suck up dust or canned air to blow dust away. If you use a damp cloth on the outside you can cut down on the “cloud” which comes out quite a bit. You’ll want to remove dust wherever it has collected – the buildup can overheat parts of your computer and make it run slower.

Step 2: Defragmentation will clean up your PC performance

Your computer keeps files related to each and every program. Over time these files get spread out as your PC tries to fill in the “next” space meaning that each saved document or picture might come right after the last rather than being close (on your hard drive) to the programs that use them. The more fragmented or separated those files are the longer it takes programs to operate. To fix this right click on your hard drive and choose properties. Go to the tools tab and choose defragment disk.

Step 3: Take out your PC’s garbage

Open up your internet browser and go to the menu, then find tools. Delete the internet cache. This is your computer’s memory of where you have been on the web doing this can clear up a lot of room on your computer. More room for your OS and programs to operate (since they do use the hard drive sometimes) means faster operation… deleting things you don’t need is your friend.

Delete temporary files by clicking the Start button and typing %temp% in the search menu. You’ll get a window of things that are safe to remove (you’ll need to delete them from the window) that have just been hanging out on your PC after they did their job of installing a program, showing a video or perhaps being a place-marker for a program.

Delete anything you no longer use and may never use again. It might be time to let that program or file go. The more space you have the faster your PC will run.

Step4: Clean Up your PC’s software

Finally, use a program to check the registry and for dll errors you may not know about. The registry keeps track of where everything is so if it becomes inaccurate… slow PC is the result.

Dll files contain information that several programs use so if these get messed up you may have several programs run slowly or not at all. A registry cleaner checks for both these problems and for others that might be hiding in your software. If you’re worried about not being a PC expert, the a good registry cleaner is what you need.

PC’s are made faster every day, but not much cheaper these days. Why spend the extra money if you can avoid it? So go out try a good registry cleaner and use it to clean up your PC performance today.

How to Speed Up Your PC at Home

At work, you might have an IT department that can swoop in and fix up your PC for you. At home, we are often left alone with how to deal with this complicated machine that people use now more than cars! Here are some tips about how to speed up a PC so that you can enjoy your home experience just as much as work time.

Tip One: Bust the Dust

Just like a car, PC’s need regular physical maintenance (like almost all electronics do, but PC’s are more susceptible to breaking down). Begin by cleaning the exterior with a slightly moist cloth. This can sweep away a lot of the built up crude over vents and it does make you feel better if the machine looks nicer when it has a frustrating “moment”. Make sure to unplug your machine and make sure it is off before conducting any maintenance.

Next, place your PC on top of a table or desk and remove one of its sides so that you can remove dust from inside the machine. You need to be careful of a couple things while conducting this minor service on your PC. First, just like a car, be careful of the wires. They’re everywhere… don’t pull any out and before you reach into your PC make sure to ground yourself by grabbing the frame of the PC. This is usually enough to ensure you won’t shock the insides of the machine. Second, there are sharp pieces inside a computer, it’s best to use tools to reach into a machine than to rummage around with your hands.

Once you have one of the sides open use canned air or an electronics vacuum to blow dust off the boards inside your machine. Do not use a regular home vacuum, these can actually generate static electricity at the tip of the tube and ruin your computer. Do sweep evenly across boards and try to avoid moving the fans with air or hands a lot, this can damage their motors.

Close up you computer and plug it back in when you’re done. All this work is worth it because it makes your computer last longer and run cooler; cooler machines do not crash as often and complete tasks faster because they’re not overheating.

Tip Two: Take Out the Virtual Trash

Delete the internet cache by going to your internet browser, choosing options and go into internet settings (your browser may vary). Click on clear internet cache. This frees up space on your hard drive and these days more hard drive space = a faster machine as it uses it for virtual memory.

Delete temporary files that may be hanging around. Go to the start menu and in your search window type “%temp%” and hit enter. This will bring a list of temporary files that have been downloaded over time from the internet and no longer serve any purpose. Deleting these frees up more space on your hard drive.

Use a Registry Cleaner to check your PC’s registry. The registry tracks where everything like a file system in a library. If information goes missing in this registry your computer gets confused and takes longer to operate, much less avoid crashes. You want to use a registry cleaner because it is so easy to mess up manual manipulation of the registry file itself. One wrong move can really ruin your whole operating system so make sure to get one you can trust.

Make sure it’s not “that” day sometime soon. The day you wish you had taken better care of your charming, yet sometimes frustrating PC. Go and take care of it and in turn you’ll speed up your PC today. Don’t forget to use trusted programs to clean your registry.
