How to increase the speed of your computer yourself
Software every year becomesmore and more complicated. This leads to the fact that the computer, a few years ago, perfectly working, no longer enough speed. The situation is often aggravated and the accumulated problems with the operating system, slowing the speed of the computer. In most cases, the user can independently increase the performance of the PC.
To begin with, it is necessary to determine what has becomecause slow PC work. This can be a software problem or a weak computer configuration, and often both. You need to open the "Task Manager" (press the Ctrl + Alt + Del buttons) and see the CPU, memory and the number of running processes. Already at this stage, you can identify processes that absorb large amounts of RAM and processor power. As a rule, on a well-tuned computer, the total number of processes does not exceed 30-35.
Remove unnecessary processes
Each running process belongs to that orother program. See which processes absorb the maximum resources - if the process is unfamiliar to you, enter its name in the search engine, you will get all the necessary information about it. Most often it's about a particular application that is not working properly or a virus program. Stop the process that boots the computer through the "Task Manager". If you use a stopped program, reinstall it, in many cases it helps to fix it. Pay special attention to the programs that you usually do not need, but which are launched through autoloading. To remove them from startup, it is convenient to use the programs Aida64 or CCleaner. It is very useful to stop unnecessary services for you. To do this, open their list, you can find it through the "Control Panel", the "Administration" section. Find the exact list of services on the network that you can stop for your OS. After that, through the "Services" tab menu, disable all unnecessary services, this will add to the computer speed. Do not forget to regularly clean your computer of unnecessary files, delete registry errors - the latter can be done with the CCleaner program mentioned earlier.Self-upgrade computer
If the software works fine, but performanceThe PC is still not enough, its modernization is necessary. It is very important to evaluate correctly which parts need to be replaced. First of all, estimate the amount of RAM, it should not be less than 2-3 GB. If there is enough RAM, evaluate the performance of the video card. To do this, you can use free test programs, they are easy to find on the network. Upgrading always requires the weakest link in the PC, limiting its performance. Do not change the processor or video card, if there is not enough RAM. Instead of replacing the processor, in many cases it will be more appropriate to choose a replacement for the graphics card - it is the processing of graphics that is one of the most critical processes in terms of speed. CPU replacement is the last option. Before deciding on it, soberly assess their skills - it will be necessary not only to select the processor supported by the motherboard of your PC, but also to correctly install it. In particular, it will be necessary to replace the heat-conducting paste for effective heat removal from the processor case. Incorrect paste application will cause the processor to overheat. The vast majority of operations for upgrading the desktop PC by an experienced user can perform by himself. But if you doubt your abilities, it will be more correct to contact the service center.
