System
Optimisation Service
Why
would you need to have your PC optimised?
When
you start out with your shiny new PC, everything is fine. All
components are new and the hard drive should be junk free. There
will be no spyware or adware to contend with and all the device
drivers for your system will be up to date.
After
a few months of use, your PC will start to accumalate internet
debris such as spyware, adware or temporary internet files.
This build-up of unneeded files begins to fill the space on your
hard drive making it run slower than before.
As more and
more files are scattered across your hard drive and you continue
to add music, photos and personal data, the computer will begin
to slow down. Many of the device drivers for the hardware in your
computer may become outdated and need replacing.
Periodically
software companies will also release security patches or bug fixes
for the software on your PC. Many of these patches can help applications
to start and run faster and more effectively.
The mainboard
or motherboard in your computer feature what is known as a BIOS.
The BIOS is stored in a small flash memory chip. When you first
turn on your computer the bios perfforms a set of tests to ensure
all the necessary components are present.The bios also features
advanced settings for your hardware that can help your PC run
faster if set to optimum settings.
PC Guardians
can set your hardware to the best settings for performance.
Your hard
drive holds vast amounts of information which is constantly
accessed and changed every time you use your computer. Over
time the layout of the files on your hard drive becomes unorganised
and files can be scattered everywhere on the drive. For best
performance the files should be organised as close together
as possible (contiguous). This decreases the time taken for
the computer to access the files and information.
This can
be achieved using a process called "defragmentation",
which you may have heard about. Basically all files are moved
around, reorganised into an orderly fashion before being rewritten
to a different section of the hard drive. Hard drive defragmentation
is part of the optimisation service we offer.
PC Guardians
optimisation service includes the above menioned tasks and includes
many more tweaks to get your computer running at its optimal
speed.
Obviously
the age and specification of your computer play a key part in
determining how much optimising can achieve for you. For example
if your computer is 5 years old or more then you may not benefit
from the service at all.
There are
other avenues to look at if your machine is quite old but you
are not ready to replace it just yet. The memory or ram may
be increased, giving you a noticeable performance increase.
Your processor may be upgradable depending on the age of the
system.
Older processors
are now obsolete but can be found second hand on auction sites
such as ebay for relatively low cost.
