computer geek and rest use computer on daily basis. Many computer users
face slow-computer problems and they think as if they need to buy a new
computer however the problem is, they do not maintain their computers.
One comes across numerous tips to keep their system healthy and ensure
that it runs smoothly but there are a few actions that should be avoided
or you can end up killing the system.
10. Proper turn off
It
may be so that you are in a hurry and you turn off the system by
flicking the power button directly. However one should avoid this and
follow the proper procedure. When you turn off the computer using the
shut down option, windows perform a number of house cleaning tasks
including closing any open application, saving your data. It may take a
little time but a little patience can help you avoid any problems later.
9. Safe mode
Unlike
its name, the mode isn’t that safe. People often think that it is
always better to run your system in safe mode but actually it is not.
The safe mode should be only used when you need to fix or repair any
error in the operating system.
8. Do not force close the CD tray
It
may happen sometime that your CD tray takes long to come out and even
when it does, it does not close easily. If it happens with you then
never apply any force on it or else you can damage it rendering it
useless.
7. Unreliable downloads
Do
not download any file from the internet unless you are quite confident
about its source and know it is secure. When you download files from
unreliable sources, it is an open invitation to virus to attack your
system.
6. Clicking on untrusted links
You
often come across advertisements about free scans or softwares that can
repair your registry errors and can identify spywares and malwares on a
number of websites. Some of these scans will notify some errors that do
not actually exist just to scare you off. Some of these can on the
other infect your system with spywares and malwares. So never click on
such links.
5. Reformatting hard drive
Never
reformat your hard drive as it will clean off all your data and if
accidentally you reformat the system drive you will have to again
install the operating system. Your data will be lost anyways.
4. Improper file management
One
must take proper care in how their files are stored. Placing your files
anywhere unnecessarily blocks memory. So always store your files in
proper files. This also makes backing up data easy. Also do not place
too many files on your desktop as this makes your system slow.
3. System restore point
It
often happens that we install the software directly. However, one
should always create a system restore point manually before installing
any software so that in case anything goes wrong, your system can be
reverted back to the previous state.
2. Deleting program files
Many
of us have a habit of cleaning old files from our system. It is good
practice to remove unnecessary files that are not required anymore and
also remove the files that you have a backup of to clear some memory but
one should never delete any system or program files that you think is
not required. It may be so that a file is used by multiple applications
that you do not know. This can also damage the operating system too.
1. Tampering with the system files
When
you teaching assistant tamper with the system files, it is biggest
mistake you can ever commit. When you do not have any knowledge about
them it is better not to modify them as even the slightest of change can
lead your system to crash and you may end up losing all your important
data.
