I actually have two computers, and a laptop. The one computer still crashes intermittently, I am going to clean the fans off and see if that changes anything. This question is for the other two computers. Now, granted, there is nothing wrong with either of them, I was wondering if there is a way I could give them a "Tune Up," if there was a way for you all to help me maintain the computers and speed up the laptop.
I'll be waiting to hear back.
Hi grimwraith1
There are a few easy to do, basic steps you can follow to help your PC's stay in relative good shape, such as running a disk check, defragging, stopping programs needlessly autostarting with Windows at bootup & removing unwanted clutter etc.
Here's a few links from Microsoft, including one of our own:
