speed up computerHave you been asking yourself why your computer is so slow? Does it take forever to start up or shut down you PC? Do you keep getting errors like the blue screen of death (BSOD)? If you answered yes to these questions, then it's time to take action and fix your slow computer by following these 5 tips:

1. Eliminate useless programs and software: the average user has probably dozens of programs installed that he no longer uses. The only thing these programs do is eat up valuable RAM and cause a slow start up time. By deleting them you will be able to free up space and make your PC run faster.

2. Run a disk defragmentation: to maintain a good CPU performance and increase your computer's speed you need to defragment your hard drive at least once a month either manually or automatically.

3. Get even more free space: delete cookies and temporary files, empty your recycle bin as often as you can and if possible move the My Documents Folder from the C: drive. To do that you need to have at least two hard drives or partitions on your PC. The My Documents folder is usually huge in size and by moving it you will improve the Operating System's performance.

4. Remove all viruses and malware: use an antivirus program to locate and remove malware and viruses, in order to help you computer run fast.

5. Fix registry errors: cleaning up the Windows registry is usually the most effective solution, because the majority of computer problems are related to the registry. When it gets filled with corrupt files and errors, it will cause a sluggish performance. Fixing this problem can be as easy as downloading and installing a registry error software that will automatically scan your system and detect corrupted files. After that, the only thing you need to do is to allow the software to correct the problems of your system.
