How to maintain a computer at its top form, by the DIY method?

A computer than runs in top speed is like a health booster for any person, as a malfunctioning PC is enough to make any person worried. Most users always wish their computers to run at high speed, both when working online and via RAM. But, as every machine gets slower with time, the computer too faces the same. So, what do you think can help in delaying this inevitable thing for your PC? Here are few tips, which if followed can help in maintaining your PC’s speed as good as new for longer.

The first method involves the Hard Drive/Software inside the PC:

1. The browsers leave a lot of unneeded data that should be cleaned. The Disk Cleanup utility can help in accomplishing this on Windows PC. Also, there are free programs available. For Linux, you can use Bleachbit or Kleansweep. Cookies and cache that get unnecessarily stored in the browser consumes a lot of space, so free this space regularly.
2. It’s imperative to search and remove all viruses, spyware and more such things lying in your PC. There are gamuts of tools available to accomplish this easily.
3. Keeping programs that you no longer use must never be followed. So, uninstall unneeded programs and music you no longer listen. More free space means faster computer, so keep free space and remove data that is no longer of any use.
4. Regular defragmentation of the hard drive is important and for Windows users there’s a utility already present to accomplish this.
5. Unchecking startup programs that are no longer used is important, which can be easily done by using the msconfig command in the RUN command bar.
6. The disk management systems should be used. For Windows it’s done with Performance>Maintenance and then clicking “rearrange items on your hard disk” and “free up space on your hard disk”. For Mac users, go to Applications Folder>Utilities Folder> Disk Utility.

The second method involves the Hardware and the CPU

1. A UPS must always be used, to stay safe when electricity goes off suddenly. It’s always good to use this power backup system when running your computer to avoid data loss and task termination unknowingly.
2. Dust is a very common thing that can easily get into the CPU, leading to many effects on the fan and other components inside the CPU. So, it’s always advised to keep your computer in a place that has minimum dust and also to clean the same regularly to avoid issues like overheating any other such concerns.
3. When plugging in USB, speakers, printers, Ethernets or any other peripheral make sure you do it slowly and carefully, as the ports are delicate and can get easily damaged, which can lead to a good amount of unneeded expenditure.
4. Underclock the CPU, it ensures long term use and great speed for the computer.

Like any other machine, even computers need rest, so keep them off every once in a while. Also, undertake the above process or steps only if you are aware about the programs and components of your computer, otherwise taking professional help is recommended. The support is offered in the form of remote computer support at many companies.

So, get in touch with a computer technical support expert, in case you lack the expertise and knowledge and get the task of maintaining your PC accomplished, easily and hassle free.
