Speed up your PC and watch smoother running internet TV

Do you ever wish you could Speed up your PC? It never seems to run quite as fast as when you first unwrapped it and plugged it in. If your into watching internet TV, movies, streaming and videos then you want nothing less than smoothly fast running streams.

Streaming TV needs a fine tuned PC

Streaming TV needs a fine tuned PC

Unfortunately many computers end up with streams that constantly buffer and are jerky and slow. But it does not need to be that way, we feel your pain and want to help. So here are some tips on getting your PC purring like a finely tuned Ferrari.

OK firstly, do you have

Background programs running?

Programs running that you forgot about or automatically run ever time you boot your PC are the biggest slowdown. But luckily, this can be fixed quickly and for free… if you have background programs running simultaneously eating at your computers resources, there is not enough resources to run your streaming movies normally.

There are two remedies, if you like to get stuck into your system with your bare hands, use the remedy

All of the icons showing in your computer’s system tray are background programs using system memory. There will be more, but you can get a hint from what you see on the system tray. To view and stop all running background programs:

Press the the keys Ctrl + Alt + Delete at the same time.

Click the applications tab

Highlight any program running thats not needed and then click End Task.

Repeat to quit all programs except of course your browser which needs to be running or you’ll stop seeing this screen for a start.

Also it is very important to install Anti Spyware and malware software to get your system clean. Don’t forget that just browsing the web can open you up to a whole host of these infections. Good software that is also free are Avast! anti-virus and IObit Malware fighter.

You should now have a lovely clean system. Is your PC running faster? If it is you will want to prevent those programs from restarting the next time you start the computer.

If you don’t want these background programs starting next time you run your PC, and you know what your doing, you can run msconfig from the run menu on your start button in your bottom left start button and completely disable whatever you find in the Startup tab. If you are not that experienced or nervous about playing with system settings and want a safe way to kill off those unneeded background programs, get someone else to help.

Spyware:

Some software programs add themselves to your system start menu without even asking your permission. Sometimes you can click a link on a website or visit a hacker website that will install spyware on your pc without you knowing. Use the above reccomendation to get your system checked and fixed. They are free after all.

De-frag your hard drive:

This results from loading many programs over time, uninstalling and deleting. As each new Windows program is installed and uninstalled, it leaves behind parts of itself that can slow down or crash your computer. These are mostly .dlls and various other shared files.
Run the Window’s hard drive defragmenter (Defrag) at least once a month. It is in your System Tools menu. Look in program files – accessories – System tools and run it.

Memory

Most modern PC’s have plenty of memory that is useful for buffering of TV and movie streams. If you have an old beast of a PC, you could be lacking system memory – You should probably upgrade to a bigger memory as its relatively cheap to buy but improves performance Big time.

Has this solved your slow running problems?? If not the only real answer to this problem is to just reinstall Windows onto your hard drive or run the recovery disc that came with your PC. This is a last resort measure as Reinstalling Windows means you will also have to reload all your programs and possibly drivers onto your system.

Look at getting a faster connection

Broadband WiFi packages come in all speeds and sizes. For movie files a lot of data needs to be thrown around cyberspace. So check your local provider and see if you can increase the speed that you download. This on it’s own could reduce buffering instantly. And if you improve memory and clean up your system as well using the tips above, then it will be a revelation.
