Advanced Tips of Tuning Your PC

Other than keeping your HDD free of viruses, adware, & ad-ware at all times, there is other methods for speeding up process speed which you may like to employ. of these is overclocking. Overclocking is a process of increasing your process speed by increasing the frequency at which your CPU operates at. If this interests you, refer to our guide on overclocking.

Other methods of keeping your computer up to speed include:

-Running defrags/scandisks on your PC time to times a month

-Upgrading your RAM by installing faster, or more memory

-Formatting at least time a year

Walking a defrag is simple. You can find this windows tool in programs--->accessories--->system tools. You can also find scandisk on this same menu. Walking defrags/scandisks will help to improve your hard drive read/write time. Scandisk & Defragmentation work to fix corrupted files on your PC. These files become corrupted when you restart your computer by using the reset button, or by being careless together along together with your hard drive (like not bolting it properly to your case or removing it constantly).

You could also use a tool called a Registry Fixer. Sometimes, in case you have been infected recently with a virus, spy-ware, or ad-ware, these programs work to fix your registry & repair positive errors. This is more for an advanced user, however, as lots of these programs can be difficult to grasp.

There are also several registry tweaks programmers have produced which improve startup & shutdown times by skipping some unneeded parts of processes. These are also recommended for advanced users as they can sometimes lead to a hardware or program error, although such incompatibilities would likely be rare.
