Increase Inadequate RAM
If your computer doesn't have sufficient RAM ( Random Access Memory ) at least 1 GB in case of old XP 2000 version and 2 GB in case of latest version of Windows, it is definitely to slow down. RAM is the temporary storage memory of the computer and is in use when various tasks are assigned to it. In case of loading of more programs into the computer specially larger files like 'Photoshop' or 'Java' and not having enough RAM, your computer is bound to become slower and hangs frequently also. The only way out in this case increase your RAM. Before replacing make sure the version of RAM fitted on your 'motherboard' - DDR I / DDR II or DDR III. All these types of RAMs are easily available in the market though DDR I is a bit difficult to get nowadays. When replacing RAM never go for a 'Used One' and always stick to buying a 'New One'. Besides in case of new product, a warranty period of 6 months to 1 year is also available.
How to Replace RAM in PC or Laptop
Watch
Uninstall All Unused Programs
In most of the cases the user keeps the computer loaded with various programs not used by him at all. This must be avoided. Try to keep only those programs loaded in your computer which are essential and used by you at least a few times every week. This is one of the major reasons of the computer slowing down. In case you need various programs and at the same time not having sufficient space in 'hard drive' then the best option is to use an 'External Drive' available in the market. This may solve your problem. To remove a program go to 'Setting' - 'Control Panel' - 'Add or Remove Program' - now select the program you want to uninstall and click 'remove'. After removing the program it is better to restart your computer.
Automatically Delete All Temporary Files
When we browse the 'web' many 'temporary files' enter into the computer like - browsing history, cookies, IDs, passwords and many more. The computer remembers them all and a considerable space is wasted resulting in computer slowdown. To avoid this, these history must be removed each time we surf the web. To do this task easily a small program 'CC Cleaner' (free version) may be downloaded here : filehippo.com/download_cccleaner/tech/ and installed in the computer. When this program is run after browsing the web all temporary files are deleted easily.
Uninstall All Unnecessary Words/Excel Documents, Videos & Photos
All of us waste a considerable amount of space of our computer by keeping above-mentioned unnecessary files which we never watch or seldom watch. They may be deleted or copied to CD or Pen drive and then deleted from the computer.
Periodic Cleaning Of Dust
Dust is a major enemy of your computer and laptop. Accumulated dust inside the computer prevents air reaching the 'Heat Sinks' and components that heat up when the computer is running. Therefore, periodic cleaning of dust at least once in 3 or 4 month may be necessary. It may be done very carefully by removing the side cover of the CPU using small soft brush and blowing air or with a standard suction equipment. If you are not used to do this, never try and assign the task to a service technician.
