The steps to speed up your computer are very easy to follow.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you need a temporary boost in speed or something long-term, here are 10 tips for making a computer run faster, from easy tips like plugging in your laptop to difficult tips like over-clocking your computer processor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Computer Tips #1: Turn Off Anti-Virus (Leave On Firewall)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When you need a quick speed boost to play a game or finish an assignment, try turning off your anti-virus software. As long as you don\u2019t open any infected files you should be safe and the speed increase can be significant.<\/p>\n<p>However, make sure that you don\u2019t turn off your firewall when you disable your anti-virus. Firewalls use very little computer processing power but protect you against threats coming from the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you turn your anti-virus back on when you don\u2019t need the extra speed anymore.<\/p>\n<p><b>Computer Tips #2: Plug In Laptops<\/b><\/p>\n<p>All laptops built in the last 10 years make their batteries last longer by slowing down the computer processor when you don\u2019t seem to be using all of it. Although this works great to prolong battery life, it means that your laptop runs slower when it runs off battery.<\/p>\n<p>To switch your laptop back into normal mode, all you have to do is plug in your laptop and the computer processor will run at full power, giving you 100% of the speed you expected when you bought the laptop.<\/p>\n<p><b>Computer Tips #3: Close Unnecessary Programs<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Right now my computer says there are 198 programs running\u2014but that\u2019s a lie. Computers can only run one program at the same time for each computer processor in your computer. My computer only has one processor, so it can only run one program.<\/p>\n<p>Computers hide this secret by switching between running programs thousands of times faster than humans can perceive. They switch between programs so fast that computer processor times are measured in nanoseconds.<\/p>\n<p>But keeping up this illusion of running multiple programs at the same time requires extra computer processing speed\u2014speed you can easily add to your most important programs just by closing down your least important programs. If you need a speed boost, start by closing any applications you\u2019re not using; then close any programs in your task bar that you\u2019re not using.<\/p>\n<p>Closing unnecessary programs can easily double the speed of an overloaded computer.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/tips4pc.com\/articles\/computer%20maintenance\/computer-run-faster.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Tips #4 &#8211; #10 Here<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from tips4pc.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/10.jpg\" alt=\"tips for making computer faster\" title=\"tips for making computer faster\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-28568\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We all get annoyed when our computers are slow but unfortunately most people put up with this state as they do not know what makes a computer run faster.
