Computer Maintenance—Protect Your Computer by Defragmenting Disks Regularly
Nov 22nd
Although now your computer is running very well, you also have to be do something to maintain your computer performance. There are many problems hiding in the system that you have not noticed now. If you let them pile up day after day and turn a blind eye to them, it will lead to unexpected disaster for you and the computer.
Therefore, in order to prevent such problem, you should take some actions to protect your computer from now.
Besides anti-virus software, you are supposed to have other computer maintenance programs. Disk defragmentation is an indispensable choose. Disk defragmenting program aims to clear up disk fragments in the system. It can search various fragments in the whole disk. It is useful for you to free up disk space by defragmenting the disks. Even there is still abundant space in the disk, you have to perform defragmenting program regularly. By doing this, you can not only keep system tidy but also optimize computer performance.
Do you know the process of producing disk fragments? As the name suggests, they are put separately in the disk which are supposed to belong to a file. If system wants to fetch this file, it must search all the parts of the file and collect them together. That is why the system has to spend more time in reading and writing this file. This is the working process of fetching a file that is invisible for you. And what you can find is that it takes longer and longer time to open a file. If you let it drift, it can shadow your computer performance and even shorten the usage of hard disks.
Apart from removing and adding files, there are many resources of disk fragments. No matter you browse on the Internet or download files or movie, disk fragments are produced forcibly. And the usage of virtual memory can lead to disk defragment as well. As a result, you should know that no matter how careful you use the computer, fragments in the disk are quite unavoidable for you and your computer. For computer, it must run programs by carrying so many useless junks; for you, the computer is running slower and slower and anti-virus software can not find any problem.
No matter you use the Windows program or other programs, please remember to close down screen saver program and do not do anything else during defragmentation, such as listening to music or playing games. If you want to finish defragmenting disk to perform other operations, it is advisable for you and computer to let defragmenting program work alone. It is rather slow on condition that you use disk defragmenter of Windows. If you want to save you time and energy, you are welcome to use third-party tools such as “Advanced Defrag”.
All in all, if you want to maintain your computer correctly and perfectly, it is necessary for you to defragment disk and do that regularly.
Computer Maintenance—To Maintain Computer by Defragmenting Disks
Nov 22nd
As a computer user, if you hope the computer can work longer, it is necessary to maintain the computer correctly. Since there are many ways to protect the computer, I would like to share some of my experiences in computer maintenance.
As long as you live in this computer world, you must have heard of disk defragmentation. It is really a very useful method to maintain your computer. It can help you get rid of those disturbing junks in the disk and free up space to support computer running more smoothly and efficiently.
You can find junks and temporary files in certain folders in the disks but cannot view the fragments in the disk. In other word, even you can remove the junks manually by deleting them directly, you cannot get rid of any piece of disk fragment like that. That is why Microsoft creates a defragmenting program to help you solve this problem. Unfortunately, such program seems to be designed for those who have plenty of time and energy. So, in order to optimize defragmentation performance, it is wise for you to use other tools like “Advanced Defrag”.
It is known to all that many system programs are put in the C disk. If there are a mass of fragments in it, it is probably to hinder system startup speed. In order to speed up the starting speed, you should reduce the fragments in the C systematic disk as many as possible. In certain Windows systems, it may create a temporary swap folder named “WIN386.SWP” in the “C: /WINDOWS” directory. Such folder is used to work as virtual memory by applying its hard disk space. That is to say, even you do nothing as long as you start up computer, the temporary swap folder is still there to occupy disk space. Working as virtual memory, it will read and write to hard disk frequently and lead to a pile of hard disk fragments.
It is undoubted that you must close down screen saver program ahead of defragmentation. Otherwise, defragmenting program may start up repeatedly. You can check whether you have shut it down by right-clicking desktop and clicking “Properties”. In the “Display Properties”, click “Screen Saver”. In the tab, you can see whether you have chosen “None” in the screen saver column. If not, you can choose “None” to turn it off. And, if you are an experienced user, you can attempt to change the registry so as to make screen saver shut down automatically.
And how long will it take to defragment disks? If the capability of hard disk or partition is too little, it will take less time to defragment. But if not, you have to wait for a long time to defragment disks thoroughly. What is worse, some disk fragments are so stubborn that you can not avoid them.
As a result, it is unavoidable to produce disk fragments unless you have limitlessly huge hard disk. As long as you add or remove files in the limited space, fragments can pile in the disk without question. If you want to maintain your computer, disk defragmentation is a must choice.
Daily Computer maintenance — Tips you should know to optimize PC performance
Nov 12th
As we all know that, computers are the same as human beings which need to be taken care of. If so, it will always work at the maximum optimization status and extent the lifespan. On the contrary, firstly, this will some serious problems appearing like some important data lost improvably, computer crashes every two or three days, or unable to complete the scheduled work; secondly, this will significantly shorten the lifespan of the computer. So we can say that daily computer maintenance is necessary in order to optimize PC performance.
Normally, computer maintenance contains two parts: hardware and software maintenance.
Hardware maintenance means that it is needed to do some jobs like cleaning dust. After being used for sometime, the computer may get dusty inside for the fan that pulls hot air outsides are always pulling in air, which laden with tiny particles of dust. When these particles cling to electronics, they act like a blanket to hold in heat. And the dusts always stay at the biggest heat producers like CPU, heatsink, and video card. So a cleaning dust is necessary regularly in order to maintain the PC performance. If possible, please keep the area around your computer as dust-free as possible.
Software maintenance, including protecting the computer from being attached by virus, and regularly deleting the unnecessary system junk files, running a disk defragment is necessary in optimizing PC performance. Here, there is no need to talk about the importance of the anti-virus program to the computer for it is known to all that it is a must in order to protect the computer, but instead, we will particularly discuss the parts that always be neglected by lots of PC users when maintaining the computer: junk files cleanup and disk defragmentation.
When using the computer it is inevitably for us to surf websites and download programs, which always bring some useless temporary file on the computer. They do nothing but harm to the computer. So it is necessary for us to clean up the system junk files in a regular basic. I found that there is an article tells very detailed information on junk files cleanup . If you want more information, you can go here for more detailed information.
Besides, a disk defragmentation is indispensible in daily computer maintenance for it will rearrange the contents on the hard disk in order to making a complete file always stays at the same single place coherently and contiguously, Hence it will be much easier to get access to when trying to input or output it. Therefore, the computer may always run at faster speed and also extent the lifespan of the hard disk and the computer.
It is known to most PC users that they can defragment the computer with windows built-in defragmenter by directly going to Start and then All Programs, Accessories and system tools. But here, in order to greatly optimize PC performance, I recommend you to use Advanced Defrag which is very suitable to solve modern big volume hard disk. It can not only speedily defragment the computer, but also provides you very unique features to maintain your computer like defragment PC registry, real-time defragment and completely web-report. With this defrag tool in hand, I believe you can maintain your computer without any problem.
In a word, there are many details that you can do to maintain the computer, but please do not miss the importance of disk cleanup and disk defragmentation, which will help you greatly optimize PC performance.
