Speed up your Slow PC! PC performance boosters.

Your computer becomes slow due to several reasons. I have tried to list here generalized solutions, that you can try to improve the speed of your PC.

  • Try running scandisk on all your partitions.

  • ( Start => Programs => Accessories => System Tools => Scandisk )

  • Run your antivirus with its latest virus definitions. A virus may be the cause of pc slow down..

  • ( You can use a good free anti virus like AVG free edition.)

  • Run your anti spy ware software to find and eliminate any Spy wares installed on your computer. (In most cases this is the real problem)
  • Defrag your system using Windows defrag utility.

  • ( Start => Programs => Accessories => System Tools => Disk Defragmenter )

  • Un-install all unwanted software's and games.

  • ( Start => Settings => Control Panel => Add Remove Programs ).

  • Try disabling unwanted Auto run software's.
  • If your system has less RAM (Primary Memory), Better add more RAM.
  • Delete all unwanted files ( You can use System Mechanic for this ).
  • Turn off your PC. Open your system cabinet and check for cable loose connection.
  • Some times loose cable connections also cause system slow problem.

  • Download and update your hardware drivers.
