Hello fellow Idiots, here I bring you a simple instructional on how to enhance your computer's performance & health. These are things I, myself do; I find them great, safe & simple. As a disclaimer: Use at your own risk.
1. LET'S CLEAN THE CRAP FROM YOUR COMPUTER & OPTIMIZE
I. To that end, download the free program CCLEANER. If this isn't something you do regularly, you may be surprised by the amount of junk it finds and clears: https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download/standard
II. Install CCLEANER
III. Run CCLEANER
IV. Click 'Anaylyze'
V. Click 'Clean'
VI. Find the menu on the left & click 'registry'. This will fix irrelevant entries no longer needed.
VII. Click scan for issues
VIII. Click 'Fix Selected Issues'....Click 'scan' & 'fix' again until it returns no issues. (Registries are like branching trees, requiring several passes to prune all the obsolete branches)
2. TIME TO OPTIMIZE YOUR COMPUTER SO IT RUNS MORE EFFICIENTLY
I. DOWNLOAD ADVANCED SYSTEM CARE This program is an all-in-one computer optimization program. Other discrete programs may do an individual job better, but this tool has something for eveyone. https://bit.ly/2Qh4w02
II. INSTALL THE PROGRAM
III. RUN THE PROGRAM
IV. FROM THE TOP MENU, CLICK 'CLEAN & OPTIMIZE'
V. CHECK THE 'SELECT ALL' BOX
VI. CLICK 'SCAN'
VII. CLICK 'FIX'
VIII. FROM THE TOP MENU, SELECT 'SPEED UP'
IX. CLICK 'DEEP OPTIMIZATION'
X. AS A BONUS, WHEN YOU ARE READY TO GAME, ENABLE THE 'TURBO BOOST' OPTION ON THE LEFT TO FREE UP RAM & CPU RESOURCES. YOU CAN TURN IT OFF AGAIN WHEN FINISHED GAMNG
3. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD SPECCY TO VIEW YOUR SYSTEM'S MAIN COMPONENTS, THEIR MANUFACTURERS, OPERATING TEMPS, ETC.: https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy
4. UPDATE YOUR GRAPHICS DRIVERS:
I. AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-016 OR https://www.amd.com/en/support
II. NVIDIA: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=en-us
See if that doesn't help, post a reply about how it did for you. Will post more tips in the future.
