make the computer a better (faster)

As computer users we certainly want to have a computer that has the optimal performance, fast and stable. I call this "anti-computer slow". In this inaugural article I would like to share with blog readers fastncheap about how to make computer anti catfish  by doing some simple maintenance and tune ups on your computer to improve the performance of windows.
Before making anti-slow computer, we should know in advance some of the things that cause performance of our computers slow, often hangs even appear a variety of errors that led to computer crashes , so no longer convenient to use. Some of the most common things that can cause problems on the computer so slow
computer we feel we are:

1. Ignoring Minimum Hardware Requirements , when installing an application.
   All the software / applications have a minimum specification of computer hardware necessary for the application can run normally. And we remember it is a minimum specification, so that applications can run optimally computer specs we should be higher than the system requirements of the application.
2. Overheating in the hardware components , some hardware components that often occurs is overheating Processor, Mainboard, VGA Card and Power Supply. Overheat the hardware components that usually occurs because the cooling system is not working optimally (eg processor fan), computers are placed in a room that does have a high enough temperature or it could be because the computer that operated 24 hours nonstop.
3. Live time , computer hardware also can not fight age, especially for components capacitors on the mainboard and hard drive. In general, computers that have been operating more than 5 years it was time to be upgraded or replaced.
4. Too much software is installed , a lot of processes running in the background, there is a virus, malware and spyware that resource consuming Processor and Memory which can ultimately lead to our computer was very slow.

Once we find some common causes of computer become slow, then saatnyalah we now prepare and perform a few steps tune up windows to make the anti-slow computer.

1. Know the specifications of our computers , do not hesitate to upgrade components mainly for the RAM is still below 1 GB. If you are interested in buying a new computer, I think the current minimum specification is a computer class Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz DDR3 RAM, 250 GB SATA hard drive and 530 Watt Power Supply.
2. Clean hardware components , open the casing of the CPU and clean the dust on the mainboard, fans and other peripherals by using a soft brush and vacuum cleaner.
3. If indeed our computer spec-fitting pair was installed a program that really needed it. There is also a good idea to use alternative programs that have small size and it takes a lot of resources, including:
   • Open Office, to open and edit documents
   • Foxit Reader to read PDF documents
   • Opera Mini, for faster and safer browsing
   • 7 Zip to create and open compressed files
   • VLC Media Player to run multimedia files
4. Clean your computer from viruses, spyware and malware with a virus scanner such as Norman Malware Cleaner , then install an antivirus that does not burden the computer, I myself use avast free antivirus and make sure it always updates.
5. Disable Automatic Updates in Windows, instead download the latest security updates and hotfixes using Windows Update Downloader from windowsupdatesdownloader.com
   
6. Disable Windows services that are not used , the way is as follows:
   • Click start - run - type: services.msc
   • Double click on a service that is not used, the choice of start-up type select disabled
   • Some of the service windows that bisaanya unused include: Alerter, ClipBook, Distributed Link Tracking Client Fast User Switching Help and Support, Indexing Service, IPSEC Services, NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing Portable Media Serial Number, Remote Desktop Help Session Manager, Remote Procedure Call Locator, Remote Registry, Remote Registry Service Secondary Logon, Routing & Remote Access, Server, SSDP Discovery Service, Telnet, TCP / IP NetBIOS Helper, Upload Manager, Universal Plug and Play Device Host, Wireless Zero Configuration (for those who do not use wireless device). For computers that are not connected to the network also disable
     the computer browser, Messenger, Windows Time.
     
7. Shut down some applications that run automatically at Windows startup . I use the Start Up Control Panel tools to control what programs should or should not be loaded when Windows starts up. Download the program at www.mlin.net / StartupCPL.shtml, then run and disable some unnecessary services
   
8. Turn off System Restore on multiple partitions or entire drives. In addition to increasing the speed of windows, disable this feature will avoid the boomerang that occurs because of a virus that fester in the files restore point.
   • How: Right click the icon My Computer - Click Properties - click the System Restore - check Turn off system restore
9. Clean up the desktop of shortcuts and files that are not often used. To save the data file should save it in a separate folder or drive. Use a wallpaper that does not take a lot of memory resources or just use the background color on the desktop view.
10. Adjust Visual Effects for Better Performance ,
    • Here's how: Right-click My Computer - Click Properties - Click the tab Advanced - Performance on the menu select settings ,
      the tab visual effects select Adjust for best Performance .
      
11. Clean up temporary files that are location C: Documents and Settings-username-Local Settings-Temp and C: Windows-Temp
12. Run the Disk Cleanup Wizard to to compress old files and clean up the files that are not necessary.
    • I click start - run - type: cleanmgr
13. Run Disk Defragmenter regularly to straighten back data stored on the hard disk.
    • I click start - run - type: dfrg.msc
14. Run Checkdisk tools to ensure the structure of files and directories on the hard disk is free from error.
    • How: Open Windows Explorer , right click on the hard drive aka the scan, select Properties , select the tab Tools, select Error Checking , click Check Now .
    • check the Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and Attempt recovery of bad sectors
15. Reinstall Windows and Applications . If it is the computer has too many problems, this is the last moment that we can do to make the computer go back to the initial performance, save all the data to another partition or hard drive and then start again from scratch, reinstall Windows and other application programs.

So little care and how to tune up windows to make our computers always work optimally, aka anti-slow. In this article I am still using the operating system Windows XP, although some of the tips above in principle can also be applied to any other OS.
Hopefully helpful!
