Getting Slow And Sluggish PC Performance?
After having your new computer for a while, you will begin to notice slow and sluggish PC performance. This is not the result of anything you have done wrong. It is just the nature of the beast when dealing with PC’s, or Windows based operating systems. This is not a knock against Microsoft, as I have 2 Windows PC’s. But it is natural thing that happens, and which can be easily fixed.
For starters, Windows runs on a Dynamic Linking Library (DLL) system. This just means that as programs are installed and run, and other files are called upon to run and operate, Windows will generate its own links on how these files connect and perform the function required by the user.
The problem occurs when you either remove one of the programs or files, and it removes the DLL which happens to also work with another program. This program will not be able to perform. A few things can happen in this case: you get a blue screen, your computer restarts unexpectedly, or your computer just sits there looking for the correct way to open the file. This is one of the reasons it is slow and sluggish.
This exact same thing can also occur when you install software, download videos, and pictures. It can overwrite these links, and now the operating system can not find it again. Now, when you go to open to file or program, it can not find the right path and sits there not knowing what to do. Sort of like when 4 people pull up to a 4 way stop all at the same time. Everyone just looks at each other and no one moves. Windows is like that.
The best way to fix a situation like this is to repair or remove the DLL files in the registry. As the registry is the location of all the instructions for your computer to operate, I would not personally recommend doing this yourself. There is software you can use called registry repair software.
This type of software will run a scan of your entire computer, including the DLL files, and tell you the errors you currently have on your computer. Then, with the click of a button, it will fix every one of them. Once these errors are fixed, you will notice an immediate increase in your slow and sluggish PC performance, and it will be like new again.

Top Four Reasons For Computer Crashes
One of the most annoying problems a PC users faces is computer crashes. This problem is particularly frustrating because it interrupts all programs running and collapses the entire system. Windows Vista is Microsoft’s most powerful and stable operating system. However, like all new software, it is not complete and filled with bugs. This is a formula that will cause innumerable computer crashes. But, computer crashes are not always the fault of your operating system. The user shares a large amount of blame. Poorly maintained PCs can build up damaging corrupt files and coding errors. Also dust particles can clog fans and produce heat. All these are elements that will eventually lead to computer crashes. This article hopes to give you enough information to avoid future problems and repair current ones.
The Top 4 Reasons For Computer Crashes.
#1 Reason for Computer Crashes: TOO HOT
Problem: Computer components are more powerful than ever. A piece of silicon hardware can produce an enormous amount of heat. However, your computer is usually constructed to manage perfectly regardless of high temperatures. When dust is added to your hardware, it creates an form of insulation that traps heat instead of ventilating it properly. This is the most common cause of computer crashes. If you see your computer fan clogged with cake like dust, you have created an environment for constant computer crashes due to overheating.
Solution: Remove the computer case and use a can of compressed air to blow out all the dust in the case. Make sure to completely clean the fan. Be careful not to dislodge any wires or components during the process.
#2 Reason for Computer Crashes: Bad Drivers
Problem: Computer crashes are often caused by system drivers not functioning properly. The driver provides a link between your software and hardware. If your operating system can not communicate with the hardware it shuts down and re-attempts to contact the driver during the start up process.
Solution: Updating the driver or troubleshooting it may eliminate this problem. Check your device drivers for any errors which are indicated by an yellow exclamation mark or an X. Follow the below instructions to evaluate the driver:
1.Click “Start”
2.Click “Control Panel”
3.Click “System”
4.In the System menu, click the “hardware” tab
5.Click Device Manager to bring up a full list of hardware drivers.
6.Right click and choose “Properties” to evaluate the status and troubleshoot the hardware device.
In Vista you can reach the the device manager the following method:
1.Click “Start”
2.Click “Control Panel”
3.Click “Hardware and Sound”
4.Click “Device Manager”
#3 Reason for Computer Crashes: Bad Power Supply
Problem: Most people are completely unaware that their computer has an internal power supply. The Power Supply Unit (PSU) problems are usually indicated by your PC’s inability to boot or use RAM. In this case, pressing the power button produces a blank or blue screen. When the power supply goes bad, your RAM and graphic card begin to malfunction. The final result is your computer crashes when Windows demands a large amount of power.
Solution: PSUs are very easy to replace. If you are a gamer who puts high demands on your system with large amount of RAM and high powered graphics cards, you should definitely upgrade to bigger power supply unit.
#4 Reason for Computer Crashes: Corrupt Files
Problem: Many programs, especially ones with online access have encoding problems. Not to mention malware which is purposely coded to disrupt your system. They leave broken foot prints in many areas of your PC memory. However, once these programs are disengaged or removed from your computer, it leaves the error filled tags which also are known as corrupt files. Direct Link Library files, Dlls, are files that are shared by multiple programs and are especially sensitive to damage. If one rogue programs damages a vital dll file, registry file or any essential process, it can cause computer crashes.
Solution: You can repair these files if you are in possession of your original Windows CD. Both XP and Vista offer a wonderful scan and repair tool that can usually repair your disrupted system and stops computer crashes.
How to use Window’s SFC Scan and Repair command:
1.Click Start
2. Right Click the Command Prompt or type cmd
3. Type sfc/scannow
4. The tool will scan for damaged files. When prompted provide the Windows original disk for repair.
Remember that computer crashes are not random occurrences. There is a source for this fatal error. You just have to pin point and discover the cause. Remember to always update drivers when you have installed new hardware or any resource intensive software. Also show your PC love and care by cleaning it’s external and internal parts.
