You might be surprised how easy it is for you to fix the common Windows problems rather than sending it for repair. Below I have come out with a list of fixes for Windows, which you can fix it yourself and save a few bucks.
1) PC Boots Up Very Slow
Common problems with slow PC startup are due to too much startup services. I will show you how to disable those unnecessary software. First, go to Start and click Run. Type in “msconfig” and click enter. This will bring up the system configuration utility. Select the Startup tab to display all the programs running on startup. Uncheck those programs that are not important and click Ok. Restart your computer and you will instantly see the differences in boot up time.
2) PC Running Slow
After you use you PC for a few months, you will notice your machine getting slower. A very quick way to make it faster is to defrag your hard disk. It will allocate your files in the hard disk in order so that your hard disk can process faster. To defragment your hard drive, open up “My Computer” and right click on C drive. Click properties and select the “Tools” tab. Click “Defragment Now” to start the process.
3) Video Downloaded Doesn’t Play
If you download video online you may need the correct codec to play. There are many types of codec and downloading one by one will be a chore. So I suggest you to download K-Lite Codec Pack. It is bundled with most common codecs and you should not have problem playing your videos.
4) New Game Doesn’t Run
It happens all the time when your new games doesn’t run properly even though you have the required specifications. I will suggest you to do is to upgrade your video card to the latest version. If you are still having problems, you might need to check on the official website to see whether you graphic card is supported. You may need to purchase a new graphic card to play the latest 3D games.
5) Miscellaneous Popups and Programs
This is a very common problem for novice users. Most probably you PC is infected with virus and spywares. Easiest way is to download anti-virus software and do a full scan on your PC. But be sure to download the latest updates before you do your scan to detect the latest viruses.
