‘BOX’ – Many prefer to call their PC by that name, or the frequent hang-ups that your computer experiences. Some chose to bang their hand hard, against the CPU whereas some just adjust. Just relax! I have the solution for you.
There are a zillion reasons for that but the most common are virus, spyware, malware, and worm. Another very command reason is that your PC may be low on RAM. So comparing these to aspects make sure that you have installed an anti-virus that does not occupy your entire RAM. Norton for example, gives you good results but makes your PC slow. Well in that case McAfee, Kaspersky, Avast etc. is one of the best options. If you are planning to increase your RAM, for optimum results don’t plan to settle under 1 GB. No matter what RAM you have do install a good anti-virus for your PC. Make sure that it gives you protection from not just viruses but also spywares, Trojans, malware etc.
Many a times there are unwanted and unnecessary processes running under the covers, which you are not aware of. You can find them and terminate them forever. Just type ‘msconfig’ command in ‘Run’ and select ‘start-up’ tab. There you’ll find all the processes, which start automatically when you start your PC. Deselect the processes which you KNOW are unnecessary example: GoogleToolbarnotifier and click ‘Apply’. Now select the ‘Services’ tab in ‘msconfig’. Select the option ‘Hide All Microsoft Services’ now deselect all the services. Which you KNOW are unnecessary, and then click on ‘Apply’. Another thing you can follow to increase your PC speed is – Keep your desktop as clean as possible. Say only seven to eight shortcut icons. It helps a bit here and there.
When your PC snoozes to a slow mode we can see a rise in the ‘PF Usage’ in ‘Task Manager’. As it soars towards its maximum, your PC gets slower and slower. In your ‘Control Panel’ double click on ‘Systems’, select ‘Advanced’ tab, and then click on ‘Settings’ button and then again ‘Advance’ button. In there you will find ‘Virtual Memory’ option with a ‘Change’ button. Generally it is set to 1.5 times your RAM, your can take it a bit higher to times. Try it out.
