   There are four steps recommended about how to make conventional optimization to help you in order to optimize your computer system.

   Firstly, right-click “My computer” to enter into “System Properties”>“Advanced”>“Error Reporting” and choose “Disable error reporting” and then click “Startup and Recovery”>“Setting”, cross “Write an event to the system log”, “Send an administrative alert” and “Automatically restart” and set “Write debugging information” to “none”.

   Secondly, move “My documents” to other districts:
   Right-click “My documents”> “Properties”> “Move” and choose a folder outside of the system disks.

   Thirdly, move IE temporary folders to other districts:
   Open IE browser, click “Tools”> “Internet options” > “General” >”Browsing history”> “Setting” >“Move folder”, and choose the locations outside system disks to save such folders.

   Fourthly, start DMA mode in the computer hard drive to speed up the hard disk and your computer performance:
   Open “control panel” > “Performance and Maintenance” > “system” > “hardware” > “device manager”, expand the sub-branch of “diskette driver”, double-click the icon of udma hard disk driver into “properties”> “setting” > “options” and tick in the “dma” item. And then click OK to close all dialog boxes and restart your computer.

   Hi, have you scanned yourself with a good antivirus, like Avira or Auslogics? If not, then give it a try. Also I highly recommend getting Malwarebytes’ (free) and doing a scan with it too. And open your Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL), go to the processes tab, see how much CPU each process uses. Also research running processes on http://www.fileinspect.com in case your computer is infected – make a note of the file path and if it doesn’t match the genuine file description, you’ll know that it’s malware.

   Actually, your computer might be slow for a number of reasons – bad program installation, outdated drivers, the registry cleaners you used might have screwed up the registry (unreliable ones often do that), your hard drive might be badly fragmented, etc. Always use software from reputable developers and check for user reviews on sites like CNet and Majorgeeks.

   Hi, you can speed up your computer by the following ways:
   1.run a antivirus software to scan your computer fully.

   virus usually impacts the speed of computer.
   If there is no virus, see the possible reasons that make computers slow down and solutions.

   2.Registry is the centre database of your computer operating system which contains information and settings for hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, and per-user settings. You must load the registry whenever you launch any programs on your computer. If the registry is too fat or with some errors, computer’s performance will seriously be impacted. So, you need to clean up registry and fix its errors.

   If you are not familiar with registry, don’t remove files away from it and clean up it easily for you may delete important things that will make your computer in trouble. You’d better choose to use a professional registry cleaner,personally,I like wondershare registry optimizer,it’s safe to operating system.

   3.There must be too many programs start up automatically when you start your computer.Run a registry optimizer or cleaner to stop those unnecessary start-up programs.

   4.Have you ever clean up your computer since you bought it? If the answer is never, I am sure that there are lots of junk files on it. Junk files is also one of reasons that will cause computer slowing down. You’d better delete them regularly.

   2,3,4 can be realized by a registry optimizer.

   5.If a registry optimizer doesn’t work, add RAM or do a fresh reinstall of windows. Before you do a reinstall, please remember to back up.However, you should know that frequent reinstall is harm to hard disk.

   6.Put programs on other drivers ,not C driver, because commonly C is for operating system. And defrag hard disks every 2 months.

   Good luck.
