The situation when the computer loses performance, begins to "slow down", very unpleasant and can happen for each user. To ensure full-fledged PC work, it is necessary to "remove it from the brake" by setting the causes of trouble. They can be divided into 2 groups - software, hardware.
1
Perhaps the hard disk is not enough free space. Open My Computer folder. View the "Properties" of each local disk and appreciate the free space remaining on them. Almost all modern computers use the NTFS file system. To function normally, it is required to remain unoccupied at least 12% of the disk capacity. If you need to cleanse the location, then transfer part of your files to other disk sections or delete.
2
Defragmentation is needed. With long-term use of PC, information on the disk consists of small pieces - "fragments". Turning to her, the system begins to "collect" these pieces, and it takes some time. To rewrite fragments more compact, perform disk defragmentation: "Starting - all programs - standard - service - disk defragmentation". In Windows 8, optimization is automatically in the background.

Cleaning the startup. Software manufacturers often when installing their product, prescribe it into autoload, so that the user first works with it. You may have installed the program and do not appeal to it for a long time. And it is partially or completely at the start of the system is located in the working memory, "steals" resources. As a result, the computer loses performance - "slows down". Remove from autorun unnecessary by: "Start - perform - autoload", remove ticks from unnecessary applications. After the reboot, the changes made will enter into force. Another option: In the "Run" row, dial "msconfig", select the "Autavar" tab in the system configuration window.

Antivirus conflict. Sometimes to protect PC users carelessly put two or more antivirus. As a result, they start the struggle among themselves, and the braking of the computer makes the impossible work on it. Leave one high-quality antivirus program that suits you. Of course, the braking of the system can be caused by viruses - "Samyat". Periodically scan discs, update the databases.
5
System registry. Frequent installation and removal of programs litters the registry by their remnants. Some applications are not fully deleted, leave the system braking files. There are several special programs to distinguish the "garbage" on the computer. The most popular of them, easy to use the program CCleaner. Download it online, install. Click the "Problem Search" button. All errors and unnecessary files in the registry will appear on the screen. Run the process of cleansing with the "Fix ..." button.
6
Switch file. A very small battery paging file can cause braking when working very resource-intensive applications, games. Increase the size of the paging file: Open the "Properties" on the My Computer icon. Then: "Additionally - speed - parameters - additionally - virtual memory - change." Set the desired amount of additional memory. It is recommended to choose 1500-2000.
7
Hardware - temperature. Usually working on a computer, the user is not interested in temperature in the system unit. This very important indicator can be effectively measured using a special program. Everest.. Temperature over 50 degrees - requires intervention. Check the operation of the coolers, the radiator. It is best to apply a fresh thermal layer on the processor.
Avoid excessive disc boot with an installed operating system, traditionally this disk "C:". Placing movies, photos, music on the desktop, remember that all this information occupies a system disk. Save three-dimensional files in other sections.
