It's been a awhile since my last post. Got a few things to share...
Ever wonder what do you need to know in order to maintain the health of your PC or notebook?
Here's some of the tasks you might want to know about maintaining your computer; it's just like maintaining your car but easier (requires patience if your computer runs at a lower performance):
Software:
- Start Up Programs
- Defragmentation (Registry and Files)
- Disk Error Scanning
- Virus
Hardware : Processor
Start Up Programs
Use
CCleaner .
Defragmentation
You can use any Defragmentation Tools you can find but i would recommend using
Defraggler by the same company who brought
CCleaner and
Recuva!
Disk Error Scan
Download
Advanced SystemCare Free.
Virus/Malware
Choose from these subcategories from
Majorgeeks.
Hardware : Processor
- Clean up the processor's fan once every month. This can help reduce heat and prevent overheating in the future.
- Take out the fan (an example of an Intel Processor's fan is shown) by rotating each clip counter-clockwise
- Then disconnect the CPU FAN connector from the mainboard. And take out the fan. You can start cleaning using a brush, a blower or a vacuum cleaner.
- Re-attach the fan by rotating the clip clockwise. Reconnect the CPU FAN connector.
