Fast access to information cannot be compromised at any
point in time and this is why slow systems or PC’s could be a big pain in the
neck. Just yesterday, I tried accessing some files on my computer system, it
kinda took me a whole lot of time before I was able to access the data I
had wanted to consume at that point in time. Imagine the great lost cloned to
that singular event. I had lost:
>> More time
>> More Energy
>> Lacked more professionalism in handling my request
from my own angle, and a host of other things I may not be able to remember as at
this time.
It is often said that time lost can not be regained. Since
time is one of the most important factors in the computer world of today, I have
come to understand that one will need to optimize his/her system in other not
to be conformed to the menaces or challenges of a slow system.
Is your System slow? Are you having a hard time fixing it
up? Do you feel that there are some certain things you are not getting right
at the moment? Maybe you assumption may be correct, due to the fact that your
system or Pc may be given you a great deal of hard times. Like I always say,
Tough time doesn’t last, but tough people do. You want to be tough right? Sneak
into the top 5 things you do that slows down your system and turbo speed your system.
You’ve Got Too Many Programs Running At Startup
Sometimes we are too busy to see these problems trigger in
our very presence. When you have a One Gig Ram or less, and you just got too
many programs running at the same time at start up, you system is bound to slow
down because these programs have been observed to be consuming more of the computer resources,
and only a few or none is reserved for other programs to use. You can stop some
of these programs from running on your system via the task manager (Ctrl + Alt
+ Del). Stop
some programs that you aren’t using from the task manager.
Low Ram Or Memory
At this jet age, I least expected anyone to be using a one
Gig size of Ram. This can be detrimental to the health of your system
especially if you run the latest version of operating system, which is the
windows 7 – windows 8. I doubt If you can actually run the windows 8 on a one
gig Ram size, since you may be going against the minimum system requirements. A
large Ram size can help improve the way you access your system information. You
want a super fast system right? Then get a Ram with enough space to serve your
present want. The better you opt in for this, the better for you.

Virus Attack i.e Trojan, worm etc
In as much as I hate to call the
name virus, but this can be a major reason while your computer system is still
suffering from a “Tortoise Speed.” Windows defender may not be enough reason
why you should not install an antivirus. Latest virus threats are discovered at
the breaking of a new day. So you got to be using a strong and up to date
antivirus program on your system. I would recommend you go for Norton internet security or Avast Internet security, depending on
your wants and the features available at that point in time.

Low Hard Disc Storage Space
You may want to disagree with me
to some extent, but I think I have got a little live experience in this
particular area. Imagine consuming all the available free space on your Hard
disc drive, that could lead to a freezing system. It can be very dangerous and
above all, unhygienic to the system functionality. At least a minimum of two
hundred megabytes (200MB) free space should be left for the system. You don’t
have to use up everything because is your Hard disc right? you just have to be
professional with the usage of system resources. If need be, an upgrade can be
recommended.
Outdated Software, Old Version,
No Update In Recent Times
The essence of running system
updates is for bug fixes and system patch up. The manufacturers of the
Operating system may have released new definition to correct some certain loop
holes recently discovered, you have a choice to update to this updates and keep
your system less vulnerable to Malware and spyware attack. If you are sure you
want to fight the bad guys (Virus,Malware,spyware etc), you must keep the good
guys updated with the changes on the web.
A lot of reasons may be the
root causes of a slow system, presently I could lay my emphasis on these few points. I hope you had a great
time. I know you got something to say. Use the comment box to speak your minds.

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, sorry for the late reply though, but it is all dependent on the kind of activities you wish to use the system for.
