By: Topic
Now days, Computers have become part of our live, mostly each family has their own private computer or laptop. And one day you may notice that your computer performance gradually slows down and is not running smoothly as before. This is the right time for you to perform a computer speed test but how to do it..? Now, I want to share with you how to do speed test on your computer
There are different ways on how you can conduct computer speed test:
1. Make sure your computer is free from viruses, Trojans, spyware, and other pieces of software that can seriously serve to slow down your computer. I know it seems like common sense but if you have a virus you might eventually be dealing with bigger problems then just a slow computer.
2. Look for software that allows you to measure the speed of the computer’s CPU. The CPU speed test application will let you compare your computer’s CPU score with other ratings internationally. If your computer’s measurement is in MHz then you need to upgrade your system. Your CPU should be running not less than 1 GHz especially when you are going to install large programs such as games or web development or programming tools.
3. You can install computer speed test applications, with this tool; it will give you indication if there are any errors on the computer, if your computer is doing well by the color. Like for instance if the color is green the computer is functioning as stated by the manufacturer. For the color yellow, it means that the computer is running a bit faster. Computer speed tests will also evaluate the computer’s registry. Detecting registry errors will help the computer run faster because it will get rid of the complications occurring in the computer
4. The other method to perform computer speed test is very simple and you do not need any tool. First restart your computer and time its start up. Browse through the programs that you have installed in the computer. Then remove temporary files, cookies, check the registry for corrupt or damaged files and clear the Internet cache. Then scan the computer for virus infections. You will notice that the computer starts faster and programs are loading smoothly.
But if the problem persist and computer is still taking time to start up then your best bet will be to reformat the computer. It is safer to let a computer technician do this job.
