In this article, we will consider the main reasons that lead to the reduction of power and tell how to improve computer performance.

The main features of the slow work of the computer are:

The points:

1. Long inclusion and the same long shutdown of the computer.
2. Many programs are started for a very long time, the download of games takes a lot of time.
3. The cursor reaction may not have time for the movements of the mouse, slow down, or there is a late reaction to the click.
4. And other signs for slow work PC, because of which the user starts nervous.

What could be the reason for braking a computer?

If the computer slows down, then the reason (or immediately several reasons) may be the following:

1. Poor software compatibility, operating system, games with iron configuration of the computer itself.
2. Large fragmentation of the file system, a lot of software is accumulated on the hard disk.
3. Problems with the operating system, failures, incorrect setting.
4. A large number of running services in which there is no need.
5. Computer infection with malicious software.
6. Software conflicts (between drivers, antiviruses, etc.).
7. Bad thermoregulation, failure of the cooler, clogging radiators.
8. Violation of the basic parameters in the BIOS.

How to solve this problem and improve computer performance?

There are many ways to speed up the computer. We offer ten methods to improve the work of the PC, which showed their effectiveness in practice.

1. Upgrade "Iron".
2. Cleaning of indoors, repair of faulty elements of the cooling system.
3. Cleansing hDD From all unnecessary, carry out defragmentation.
4. Re-install the operating system.
5. We optimize the operation of the OS.
6. Customize BIOS.
7. Disconnect everything too much, control the autoload.
8. We perform the driver update.
9. We establish the operating system the corresponding PC.
10. Clean the system from viruses.

Determine the performance

In operating room windows system 7 Already built-in a special feature for checking the performance of the system and the speed of the computer.

Open the Start menu and in a special search field (it is at the bottom of the menu) Enter the "proes", as shown in the figure.

Among the search results will be the program "Enhance computer performance". Run it and the following window will open.

Make a click on the button "Repeat the rating" button. The program will begin to analyze the productivity of your system and upon completion will give results by which it will be possible to conclude the speed of the computer.

After that, you can start increasing the performance of the computer selected methods.

Upgrades Computer components

Many who are a "happy" owner of the braking computer, there is a persistent desire to replace it with something more powerful. But we will not move in this direction, it is suitable only for seriously obsolete computers. In most cases, it is enough to replace only one or more weak items so that the whole system began to fly - this method will be much cheaper than buying a new PC.

• CPU. The meaning of the "stone" replacement will be really justified only if the new much exceeds the old power, at least 30%. Otherwise, you will not feel a serious difference, but will spend a lot of money.

Risk lovers can try to dispersed the central processor. This method is not suitable for many, because not every CPU can accelerate. But if successful, buying a new "stone" can be postponed for another year. Read our. The essence of this operation is to increase the voltage on the central processor, and thereby an increase in its clock frequency. The operation itself is quite risky and far from all processors, in some cases you can simply deal with the CPU, or significantly reduce its service life.

To approximately determine the weak points of the system, use the built-in computer performance evaluation feature, which we have already talked above. Determine the "weak link" can be estimated that are displayed after testing performance. Where the lowest estimate, in the direction and it is necessary to increase the power of the PC. For example, if there is a lowest assessment near the data exchange rate on the disk, then it is worth thinking about buying more quickly hard disk.

Cleaning indoors, repair of faulty cooling system elements

Various malfunctions in the cooling system are also able to significantly slow down the operation of the entire system. If the cooler breaks on the central processor, then this is a drive to its overheating and a reduction in clock frequency.

Overheating is generally a dangerous thing and may occur even with a serviceable cooling system. Take, remove the lid from your system unit, look at how much dust there. It does not just cover all the surfaces, but also tightly clogs into all radiators and settles on the blades of coolers. Dust acts as a heat insulator, which leads to overheating. Very carefully clean system unit And you will be able to increase the speed of the computer, as well as extend the life of its components and get rid of the main seatingman of various allergens and bacteria - dust.

Clean the hard drive from all unnecessary, we perform defragmentation

Those who first hear the term "defragmentation" should understand that this is the very first thing to do to increase system performance. Defragmentation allows you to collect various fragments of programs that are in different parts of the hard disk, in one pile. Due to this, the reading device of the hard drive does not need to perform a lot of unnecessary disks by disks, because everything is in one place. Thus, the performance increases.

In addition, it is necessary to get rid of unnecessary information and all sorts of software, which accumulates on the disk with the time of work. This is especially important when there is practically no free space in the operating system section. If there are less than 2 GB, the system loses its performance. So do not overload the disk and try so that it was a percentage of thirty free space, if it is certainly possible.

Reinstall Operating system

This step almost always helps to increase the speed of the computer. In some cases, productivity may increase three times. Just like the essence of the operating system, with time the various errors accumulate in it, it is clogged unnecessary servicesthat even perform major changes in the system itself. This and much more leads to a deterioration in the speed of the computer, many operations are now required much more time.

If you carefully monitor the cleanliness of the system and do not install anything there, you can use the same Windows for years. But most often, the computer constantly moves on the computer: drivers are installed and deleted, drivers are updated, large volumes of varying information are loaded - in such conditions, the system is gradually starting to "shy". Best of all, for prevention, somewhere in a year format the disk and from a clean sheet to install a new operating system.

We optimize the work of the OS.

We recently did, because it is properly configured and optimized - the main key to the performance of the computer! Setting up the system, quickly and without unnecessary problems, can be made using special utilities. For example, Aerotweak copes with these tasks.

The PCMEDIC program showed well. The main chip of this utility is the full automation of all operations. You only need to select suitable options and run the setup process.

The program consists only of one main window. Here we choose our operating system, type central processor (for example, Intel or AMD), then you need to select one of two ways to optimize - Heal (System Cleaning), or HEAL & Boost (except for cleaning also acceleration). After select All Options Press the button "Go" - the program will perform all the necessary changes.

There is another program that boasts truly powerful functionality - Ausloqics Boostspeed, unfortunately, paid. It consists of several utilities that allow you to perform the optimization of the system in almost all directions. Using this application you can deal with defragmentation, clean file System, Clear the registry, increase the speed of the Internet and many more. The program has a built-in adviser who helps determine the priority directions in the system optimization. Although I recommend not to trust the advice and watch blindly, whether these all actions are really needed.

In order to clean the system from any rubble, there are many special cleaning applications. For example, a good helper can be CCleaner. It is able to clean the disc from unnecessary, temporary falamas and perform the registry cleaner. Thanks to the removal unnecessary files, You can increase the amount of free disk space. But when cleaning the registry, it is not observed a special increase in productivity. But if any important parameter is randomly removed, the system will start issuing errors and it can lead to serious failures.

ATTENTION! Before performing all these actions, it is strongly recommended to create a recovery point!

Always see files that remove utilities for cleaning the system. There are cases of irrevocable removal of the necessary and even important files that are falsely taken for unnecessary, or temporary files.

Windows 7 users can slightly improve computer speed using simplification graphic interface. What to do this Open the control panel and go to the System section Open the "Advanced" item and select "Parameters". Here we remove the part of the unnecessary flags, or install the switch to the position to ensure the best speed.

Customize BIOS.

The BIOS stores the parameters of the computer responsible for the equipment, the OS load, time and other key items. To get into bIOS Parameters, in the process of turning on the PC, before loading the operating system itself, press the DEL, F2 key or other (it depends on the manufacturer motherboard, Typically, the key name is displayed on the screen). Most often, the BIOS settings do not cause any reducing performance and do not even climb there. But in rare cases, with incorrect critical parameters, your computer can start braking.

If you doubt the correctness of the settings, but you do not know what you need to specify, you can use the option automatic setting The optimal parameters "Load Optimal Settings" (the function name can be different, depending on the manufacturer). After that, save all the settings and restart the computer.

Turn off all unnecessary, control the autoload

Nowadays, almost every program tries to register yourself in autoload. And it is not too fun for your system. Gradually, programs in the autoload are accumulated and all must be started, each time the system starts. Because of this, the computer is turned on very long and turns off. Additionally, after autoloading, all these applications remain in working condition, devouring resources. You just take a look at how much problems in the taskbar (near the clock) of unnecessary icons, do you use them? Therefore, it is best to delete unnecessary applications, or at least turn off the startup for them.

To see all applications that start with Windows, and turn off the extra, simultaneously clamp the two Win + R keys and write msconfig in the next window, then press ENTER. A system configuration window appears, now go to the startup section. Here will be a list of applications in autoload. Just shoot the checkboxes from all that do not use. In which case, the program can always be returned to the startup, setting the desired tick. The main thing is to have an idea what kind of programs and what their appointment is.

Hello everyone, I took a bad habit of writing literally on the article per month. July ended, and I have only published one article about. Say, what completely moved from the main theme of the site? In this case, you will be right ... completely beat off, I don't write about what ... Wordpress, blog, design, promotion ... Everything has been departed somewhere in the background, now at all at all! But S. interesting articles Do not finish, so no matter what they will be! And today is one of these!

Recently, it began to notice that the computer began to slowly slow down ... sharply and strongly fell the performance of my laptop and I began to wonder what to do?! I am already quite problematic becomes working with a blog! Reached such an extent that they began to hang text editors! I'm not talking about how the browsers are hanging and stupid ... And when I played on it in GTA4 and Fallout3 ... Damn, I really have a lot of time goes to

• - Enable your computer (loaded for a very long time)
• - open the browser (two minutes mos l.la exactly starts)
• - run any programs (for example, loads four at least minutes)
• - etc

As a result, I wondered, and what the speed of my computer. And learned shocking details!

But before I tell you how to check the speed and performance of the laptop, I will say that.

And therefore this "Guide" will be for this OS.

How to check the speed and performance of the laptop

1. A method that does not require additional software. You need only task manager.

Run it. If anyone knows, press the Ctrl + Alt + Delete key combination.

On the Speed \u200b\u200btab, we can observe the processor load and random access memory. In my case, such indicators were identified:

Podchock file - 1.27 GB. Shocking indicators If we take into account that the computer does not run serious programs. Now only print this article And the indicator has already grown - 1.68 GB ... If you still launch any task now, then the computer will hang and it will be terribly slowing down. Example here:

But what does the paging file in the task manager mean? This file Used if the computer lacks its own RAM. Why exactly such values \u200b\u200band at all why he need it I will definitely find out.

The remaining indicators of the Speed \u200b\u200btab me are not very interested.

2. The method that requires the installation of additional software.

As an additional software, you can install the AIDA64 program, I downloaded it from here - http://www.aida64.ru/download.

This program is not free, but gives 30 days to familiarize yourself with it.

In the Service tab, you can "play" with different tests. You can test the speed of the disk, memory. It is also possible to conduct a system stability test. Here you will see the temperature indicators, the speed of rotation of the coolers and much more.

Thanks to this program, I learned that three of mine hard disk Free only one percent! Perhaps it is because of this and brakes the computer! I certainly knew that I had a trouble with a free place, but did not give it much importance.

3. The way you can determine the performance of the computer online.

No matter how I sought this way on the Internet, I did not find it. What is there to talk - free niche! \u003d) I think such services will ever appear, or simply I was looking for them badly ... although it seems and driven into the search engine - Check laptop for online performance.

Finally, I would like to ask, how do you determine the speed of your computer? Can you advise me how can I increase the speed of my laptop? How do I get rid of computer brakes? And what do you think, why and from what the performance of my laptop has fallen.

In one of his future articles, I will tell you how to get rid of the brakes and raised the performance of my computer. And maybe it did not get rid ... \u003d)

Learn, and today everything is time for me, to the soon!

For many PC users, it is not just a machine for web surfing and watching a video, but also a device for work or hobby. Some programs and video games consume significantly the number of computer performance resources, and not everyone is able to "pull" them. To check whether your device matches certain criteria, you can test - diagnose the performance of computer elements.

You can measure the performance of both the entire system of the entire system and the individual parts, for example, processor or video card. Thus, it can be understood which details are at an acceptable level, and which should be replaced first. If you are the owner of a laptop, with self-replacement Difficulties may arise, but it can be done in any case in the workshop.

Engineers from Microsoft have developed their own test that is regular automatically. The test affects all the basic details of the computer and the laptop. To see the research results, follow a simple instruction:

The processor and RAM is estimated by the number of operations performed per second, the video card is the speed of the desktop and three-dimensional graphics, and the hard disk is the rate of information sharing.

This interface helps to understand which of the parts pulls your PC down and first shall be replaced.

Everest.

Everest from Lavalys developer is a popular utility for a comprehensive laptop performance survey or personal computer. Such programs are called benchmarks. With Everest, you can collect almost any information about the components.

You can also measure the temperature of individual parts and a lot of parameters, such as the bandwidth of RAM, maximum speed hDD works, and get information about software and installed drivers.

And of course, using the utility you can spend the test of any PC element.

Pcmark.

Lightweight software for narrow use. It serves solely to test speed. With it, it is possible to conduct an integral test for any component of the computer. A peculiar trick program is the possibility of comparing their laptop with an average of the world.

3Dmark.

Benchmark specializing in testing computer video cards. It includes many checks on working with shader, three-dimensional modeling, texturing, rasterization.

Quite often, users of PCs or laptops appear the need to check them for performance. To do this, there are special tests for testing. How to conduct a check procedure and for what purpose it is carried out you and learn from the material.

Computer Testing: Check Objectives

Check on performance different components computer system For various reasons, for example:

• to find out how much stably works "Iron";
• in order to find out the cause of the PC malfunction;
• to achieve maximum speed speed.

Online test for machine performance

In order to test the computer, first need to collect all information about him. So, if you know little, which components are installed on it and what applies software, Testing for performance you will be made difficult. If there is a problem, it will be possible to correct it by updating drivers or changing the mode of operation, and this detects the source of the problem.

You do not need to download utilities for collecting information, to start you can test your computer online. For example, you can use the Ma-Config.com service for this, it can also be used to prejudice PCs.

To start the test, download and install the browser application. In terms of application, such a service resembles Sisoft Sandra, which is widely popular with specialists.

Test report will contain the following data:

• model motherboard and its manufacturer;
• chipset and its type;
• rAM: its volume and working cleanliness;
• processor (model);
• BIOS-Data;
• uSB tire and peripherals.

In addition, you can reveal in the online computer performance, for example, it throughput. This can be done like this:

• visit Speedtest.net website;
• select the Begin Test button and click it;
• as a result, you will receive data on how the data and downloads are quickly unloaded.

Such a test will allow you to check how the actual speed of the computer coincides with the one that is declared by your operator. If it is different, you can safely require the provider to raise speed.

Features of inspection for performance

If the computer has problems with the hardware, then this can manifest itself in the form of a failure of the following type:

• "Blue Screen" on the monitor;
• spontaneous reboots of the computer;
• freezing;
• braking.

Naturally, all this negatively affects the performance of the machine. In addition to hardware problems, the cause of failures can be a virus. In this case, run the full check in order to identify threats.

But if the reason for bad work lies in the hardware breakdown of the machine, it should be found out which item broke and identify the reason for the deterioration of work.

How to check computer prompt memory

It is worth noting that this part of the PC breaks very rarely. But if the system is "overclocking", then it has the property to break. Special memory work test you can perform special mEMTEST + 86 program According to the following algorithm:

• load the utility;
• prepare the loading flash drive;
• run the program from it and check the memory;
• the test itself will be performed for a long time. If, after a few bugs, the errors will not be detected, it means that there are no problems with this part of the computer.

Video Carts Performance Check

The need for a test for a video card most often appears in order to clarify the maximum power. It is required to increase its indicators above the settings when resources are missing for new games. In some cases, such overclocking provokes a breakdown of a computerthat is quite unreasonable.

You also need to check the video card and then when you buy it used. This will determine the following:

• is the model for fake or not;
• are there hidden failures at the chip level.

To perform a test for a video card in a load state, you can apply FURMARK. She is able to support all modern oS, as well as adapters, data is issued as fully as possible in all respects. First, download the utility and install. After starting you a dialog box appearsin which the following actions are performed:

• click on the CPU button - Z, and we obtain all the information on this video card, including the frequency of its operation, the amount of RAM and video, as well as the date of release and manufacturer;
• the Sensors tab opens, in it we see the load and the temperature of the map at the current time, the indicators fix the state of the machine at the time of downtime;
• to test the adapter, press BURN IN TEST, and then go;
• then you will see a picture in the form of a graph with temperature indicators and a spinning "bagel";
• to evaluate the card performance, wait 15 minutes. The test is considered passed if during this time there was no reboot of the computer and hangs;
• please note if the temperature is above 80 degrees. This may be an indicator that the video card will behave unstable and can overcome at any time. The problem of malfunction can be that the fans do not work well or the chipsets function incorrectly.

How to conduct a stress test processor PC

For testing test, you can apply special program called CPU Tester Pro. Moreover, it can be tested not only it, but also other parts of the computer system. It is used for both home PCs and commercial structures. Includes the program several modulesThey check such components as:

• chipset;
• memory.

Such a stress test gives a greater load on the computer and checks the limit stability, as well as the presence of defective sites. You can test the computer using this program within 6 hours if all tests are passed, then all failures will be excluded. However, it is recommended to use this method of checking only during acute necessity, since the limit load for the processor is not normal, and can break it.

Features of the hard disk check

Hard Disk (HDD) It is one of the important components of the computer. If he broke, no utilities will not save, because the car will simply not turn on. To use programs for checking, they are resorted to test tests of used drives, as well as in order to identify the causes of failures in the operation of the operating system.

Most often use such a utility as Victoria HDD.. When the program is running, you should do the following:

• if in PC hard disks several, then in the right window, select the one that is subject to testing;
• select the SMART status in the second tab of the top menu, to do this, press the GET SMART button. The optimal result is a good word. The tight disk temperature indicator should be within 40 degrees;
• select the Tests tab, then select the Read item on the right side of the monitor, set the IGNore mark and press START;
• next, pay attention to the rectangles of different colors. It is not allowed red, orange can be from 5 to 10, but better to be less. Optimal option - When all sectors are gray.

After you tested a computer on the possible presence of broken sectorsYou can replace them, erase or restore that the system worked stably. Instead of Ignore item, choose such:

• restore - recovery, but success cannot be guaranteed 100 percent;
• erase - the sector is erased with all data, but it may disrupt a number of components of the system;
• remap - sector replacement. In many disks there are so-called spare sectors, they can be replaced damaged and save data.

How to check your computer for errors

Not in all cases, the user can set the cause of the system failure. Recommended testing program - SisoftWaresandra. Easy version The programs are available for free, and its functionality is well suited to pre-assess one or another malfunction.

To create a test load in order to verify stability need to do the following:

Many of us face those or other problems while working with a computer when he slowly works, freezes, etc.. At the same time, to find out the reason, you do not always need to rush to contact a specialist, because you can check the performance of the machine and independently with the help of special programs.

At times, the user needs to know the performance of its device. This may be required in several cases. For example, with a sharp slowdown in all programs. However, except for this reason, there may be many more. Computer performance test or laptop will allow the user get an independent assessment Your device and determine whether it needs modernization. In the case of a gradual update, such tests will be able to show the most bottlenecks, which means the modules that the replacement of which will be best affected by performance.

The same tests will help choose one of several options for computers when buying, in case they possess similar hardware. The user will be enough to check them and take the one whose productivity is higher. The same utilities will help you understand when you need to update the driver.

Productivity index

This embedded utility appeared in the system since the wist. With its help, the user can estimate several of the most important components in its system. The program is evaluated Processor, graphics, read speed and memory access. The assessment is exhibited by the worst result, thanks to this, and much more, the utility does not enjoy great popularity. However, for a single check and evaluate bottlenecks, it is quite good.

Standard tools Windows 7 and 8

To start the utility, you should click on the PCM computer and go to its properties. Here you should choose the appropriate program and wait for the graduation.

The normal indicator for the working computer should be more than 4.If less, then it is worth thinking about modernization. For gaming computer The numbers must be more than 6.

Verification of performance in Windows 8.1 and 10

In these systems, simple graphic display does not get the application. The user will need to start command line (Win + R and in the window to drive CMD) and enter the operator in it WinSat Formal -restArt Clean.

Further goes to disk C and go to the catalog Performance \\ Winsat \\ Datastore, you should find and open file Formal.assessment (Recent) .winsat.xml, this can be done using any text editor.

In the text, you should find the data starting with WINSPR, there are several items: SystemScore shows a common assessment, and MemoryScore is responsible for memory, CPuscore shows the processor index, and GraphicsScore is responsible for testing graphics. GamingScore and DiskScore show performance for games and the rate of data exchange with a hard disk.

Use the Task Manager

The user is available for a general method. To begin with, you should open Task Manager (Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC), then go to the Speed \u200b\u200btab. The resource monitor is available here, thanks to which the user can determine the load on this or that hardware.

Performance Check for Games

In order to find out the performance of the computer when using gaming applications , Press Win + R and enter the Shell: Games command.

A window will open in which the index and performance can be seen in games.

Computer testing programs

But, standard means often not popular because they do not give full information, in this case you can use one of third-party utilities. They are also called the Benchmark for the computer, as they allow you to diagnose the equipment and compare with the reference result.

Aida64.

One of the most popular utilities to check the computer hardware condition. You can download the utility from the site http://www.aida64.ru/download.

This utility, in fact, is replaced by entering commands in the eight and dozen and gives the result immediately.

Testing online

Online testing is not carried out, because to learn performance, you need to load the components of the computer, and on the network it is impossible to do this due to the protection of the system from attacks from the browser and the features of the use and construction of sites. However, it is possible to use the service https://www.driverscloud.com/, but also here will have to install a separate plugin.
