Today, I will show you how to make your computer run faster. First of all, you might wanna know what are the causes of the computer running slow? Well here it is:
- Not enough hard disk space.
- Left over programs and bad files.
- Data Corruption.
- Missing Windows updates / Outdated drivers.
- Computer is overheating.
- Corrupt Operating System.
- Bad Hardware.
For Microsoft Window Users: Here are the solutions to fix your computer!
The first thing you wanna do is to restart the computer which is also known as rebooting. It is important to reboot your computer because sometimes there are files that need to be installed by restarting the computer. When you restart the computer, the new files are installed and your computer is good to go!
Hard Drive: Verify that your computer has at least 200 - 400 Mega Bytes of free hard disk drive space. This space allows the computer to have room for swap file and also have room for temporary files.
Hard Drive Corrupt: You need to run ScanDisk on your computer to verify that your computer's hard drive is not physically wrong.
Defragment: Run Defragment on your computer to make sure all the data is in order.
Malware: Malware and Spyware are big issues to the computers these day. It can be caused by inserting a CD, downloading a file, transferring a file, or even chatting with a friend. Sometimes, your anti-virus program might not detect that malware or spyware. From this you can tell how smart today's technology is. You can run a free amleware test on your computer by going to this link:

Programs: If you have any program installed that runss automatically, each time you restart the computer then you will need to disable that program because it increases the amount of speed on your computer. You can find out which program is running by going to Task Manager.
Window: Make sure you update your window because if you have old version and you haven't updated the windows then it will be a problem for you. The reason that it will be problem for you is because all the softwares get updated automatically as the new window gets updated.
Memory: If your computer is old and I mean like 3 - 4 years old then you might wanna think of upgrading your memory. It is recommended to have at least 2 - 3 GB space.
Overheating: Make sure your computer and processor is not overheating because overheating can cause a significant decrease in computer performance. Here is the temperature that your processor should be running at. This table it taken from www.computerhope.com:
