It happens to all of us. You buy a new computer, you set it up, you turn it on, and it blows you away with its blazing speed. Then a year passes, then another, and pretty soon it seems like you're mired in crashes, slowdowns, that dreaded Mac beach ball, a PC that takes ages to start up, or a computer that hangs in limbo when you try to shut it down. You’re left wondering, how to make it run faster. In the past, instead of trying to fix the issue, you might have just bought a new computer. But in this economy it's tough to just buy a new one if yours is running too slow. You'll be happy to know that there's a way to speed it up without spending an arm and a leg.
Yes. There are many solutions available to help your machine run faster. From basic housekeeping to increasing your RAM, these tips will help you learn how to make your computer faster.
Do Some Housekeeping
Whether you have a Mac, a PC, or even a Linux box, if you haven't done regular maintenance since you got your computer, there likely are a lot of simple things you can do to increase its speed.
“If your PC is running slow,” says PC and security expert Robert McMillan, who has written about computer technology since 1996, “uninstall apps that you're not using. See what's running in the background and remove it if you don't need it. Think about uninstalling Java. That's a major resource hog, and often a big security risk too.” Assess all the unnecessary programs you have running when you turn your computer on.
