Do you want to speed up your computer massively and enjoy faster computer speed all the time? To a large extent, a slow computer always results from a slow startup. Here, some methods will be discussed on how to greatly speed up your computer at startup.

Firstly, optimize BIOS settings
When booting up the computer, please continuously press “DEL” button to access the BIOS setting wizard, select “Advanced BIOS Feature”, and then “HDD-O”(that is, start from Hard drive) when you see “First Boot Device”; tick “Disable” within “ Above 1Mb Memor Test” and “Enable” within “ Quick Power ON Selftest”; then go to “ Advanced Chipset Feature”, change “ 8 ns/10 ns” to “Fats” or “Turbo” within “ Bank 0/1 DRAM Timing”. You can also change the parameter of “SDRAM CAS Latency” to “2”.

Secondly, optimize Desktop
Please remember not to store many files/folders on the desktop. And it is recommended that you can delete some useless desktop icons. Hence, there will be no need for the system to start too many things when booting up the computer to speed up your computer.

Thirdly, optimize startup programs
When starting up the computer, some programs or services will automatically start. Thus take up large amount of system resource and slow down the computer. So please go to Start -> Run -> type “msconfig” and press “Enter” to access “Services”. Here, please uncheck the programs that do not need to run at windows startup.

Fourthly, remove window boot screen
when booting up, the computer will take some time to load the window boot screen, which will a little slow down the computer. So you can first go to tick “Display contents of system folders” and “Show hidden files and folders” within My Computer/ Tools/ Folder Options/ View. And then go to search a file named “Msdos.sys” under drive C. After finding it out, right click it to select “Properties” and cancel its “Read-only” properties, then open it with Plain Text Editor, add “logo=0” at the end of the “Option” paragraph. Hence, it will a little speed up your computer at startup.

Last, regularly maintain system.
We know that too many installed programs will also become one main cause for a slower computer. So you need to periodically maintain the system with the packaged Maintenance Wizard within System Tools. Moreover, to speed up your computer, a simple disk defragmentation is needed, too.

With the above several methods, you can massively speed up your computer. But among all of them, lots of PC users will always ignore disk defragmentation, taking it for granted that it has nothing to do with the computer speed. That is wrong for a defragment process will help to rearrange the  file locating on the hard disk and store all parts of a file always close together and contiguously. Only in this way, will it be much faster for the hard disk head to read or write some related data.

As what you see above, it is easy for you to speed up your computer in many ways. But please bear in mind that a disk defragmentation can not be neglected when trying to get a faster computer. Go to run one if you have never run it before!
