All information that deals with your system and its hardware and software, along with your user configuration data, gets stored and tracked by your Windows registry. Any task you perform while the operating system is working goes through your registry first. What this means is that your registry is the heart of your entire computer system and when it’s damaged it’s a serious problem. However, no matter what you do this damage to your registry is going to happen. When you properly maintain your computer it will happen slower, but it still happens. This means being able to clean your registry is an urgent and crucial ability. Read more...
• Discover the remote cause of the problem
There must be a remote cause of the windows problem you’re having. You need to discover this. Oftentimes, windows may stop to respond as a result of software or hardware conflicts. It can also be as a result of new program installation or any other software-related problem. An anti-virus program can also cause your system not to respond. This happens when the program messes up your registry. It can also occur when you have two anti-virus programs running on your computer. They are likely going to freeze your windows and cause it not to turn up. Your system’s RAM, hard disk, CPU and any other hardware can also cause your computer to hang. This happens when any of them malfunctions. You need to troubleshoot your system to find out where the problem is coming from. This will help you know the next step to take. Read more...
The registry is like the heart of Windows. It is relied on for programs to function properly, and even for Windows to boot. If your registry is amuck, you can bet that you’ll be experiencing plenty of errors. But errors aren’t the only thing. Once the registry gets too bloated, you can be sure to expect a big slowdown in PC performance.
Because when you install a program, it deposits keys in your registry (information required for the program to run). The problem is, these keys are not removed automatically when you uninstall the program so over time, they accumulate. If you have never cleaned your registry, then it will contain keys for every program you’ve ever installed since purchasing your PC. Luckily, cleaning your registry isn’t a difficult task thanks to automated software that does it all for you. Read more...
Most Common Problem #1 – Too many start up programs.
If you have to many programs that start up with your computer this can lead to major slowdown, especially if you have low ram. For optimal boot up times uncheck some of these programs from starting up in the msconfig menu (start, run, msconfig). This will also free up your ram to open things like your browser or word processor more quickly.
Most Common Problem #2- Spyware, Malware, and Viruses
If you surf the net a lot, and don’t have a anti-virus system active (bad idea), then your computer could be riddled with spyware and viruses. These have very negative affects on PC performance and can also cause error messages. AVG is a great anti-virus program and it’s free. I highly recommend you get one if you don’t have one already.

The first step is very simple; before you take your PC for repairs, try to look for some very common computer performance issues and their solutions. The chances are that you find the solutions online and save a lot of money. This is the most obvious benefit of fixing the PC yourself. As, getting your system serviced at a repair shop will cause anything between $40 and $100 per hour. Some of these services are cheaper than normal but most of these cheap services deal in software repairs and are useless in fixing hardware problems. Read more...

If someone notices that his or her computer is running slowly or doing odd things, it is often a sign of an infection. Most malware infections are not immediately obvious, which can make it hard to detect them. Many people will simply assume that their computer is getting older or think that their problems are just part of having a computer. However, if someone’s computer takes several minutes to load up, even if it is only a few years old, the problem is likely due to a virus or spyware infection.
