How to clean the ram on a desktop computer

my computer runs very slowly and I don't want to spend more money

Here are the usual causes of slow:

1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

2. not of sufficient free space on the hard disk. At the very least, you should have at least 15% free space. A good shooting for goal is 50%.

3. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

    Please see: HP monitors - Safety and Maintenance Guidelines, under the heading "Cleaning the monitor" for details of cleaning, but be sure to read both safety related information.  Depending on what you mean by "halos" try following the instructions for the materials to be used. If you have in the past used something on the list of cleaning products do not turn out to serve, you may have already damaged a part of the screen.

  • Satellite L350-24U: how to clean the keyboard after having poured orange juice

    Hello out there.
    I spilled my L350-24U with Orange juice.
    Now, I have 4 keys to self-retaining :-(

    Can someone tell me how to clean the keyboard without damaging the laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm, it's still a stupid situation
    Usually you can remove the keyboard of the laptop very easily.
    The keyboard is fixed with screws hidden under thin plastic cover near the line of F1 - F12 key.

    If you would remove plastic this cover then you would be able to remove the screws as well. Then you could lift the keyboard carefully and could disconnect the flat cable of the keyboard and the motherboard.

    Notes; two small latches on both sides of the connector must be moved in order to disconnect the cable.

    Then you could remove the keyboard and could clean it with a damp lint.
    PS: the caps can be removed too.
    But be very careful. You must raise the CAP to get it for free.

    There are many videos on youtube...

  • HP laptop - 15-ac121dx: how to access the ram on a 15-ac121dx modules

    I want to upgrade the ram in my HP laptop - 15-ac121dx and maybe the hard drive, but I can't understand how to access the ram. There is no access panel, and unlike some other models, it doesn't have a single lever in the battery bay to remove the cover.

    OK, I realized how down low on the laptop.  After watching some youtube videos I came across another HP laptop computer who had screws under the rubber feet and of course there are also screws under the back of two rubber feet, can't believe I didn't think to look under them.

    To get the background you need to:

    1. Remove all the screws on the bottom.  (Must be 12 total)
    2. Remove the drive from DVD (Yes it does not).
    3. Finally, carefully separate the case around the side.

    After that, you should have full access to the slots of RAM and hard drive.

  • Qosmio F30-125 - how to upgrade the RAM?

    Hello

    I have a model PQF30E Qosmio and who seek to increase the RAM.

    I read that this model can take 2 GB max as opposed to the PQF32E which can take 4 GB.

    I have the standard 512 MB installed at the moment and when I open the back I have only a slot for expansion. Should I put a 2 GB upgrade in this slot I can not find a 1.5 GB upgrade or is it possible to delete the original 512 and replace with2 x 1 or 1 x 2 GB.

    Thank you
    Ben

    Hi mate

    What boarder said is right.
    The user manual provides information on the possible RAM upgrade and there is also an instruction how to put the RAM in the slots.
    Usually it s not difficult and can be done very quickly.

    View just the words to the subject of the upgrade of RAM max;
    It's material and limited to Intel chipset limitation.
    If you want to know how much RAM is possible then check your type of chipset and visit Intel for chipset details.
    In the datasheet, you can find the specifications of the chipset.

  • Satellite A305 - how to clean the keyboard after juice spills

    Hey guys,.

    I had a the sSatellite series A305 an i could not find discussions on this exactly.
    Basically whats up's had one incident minor orange juice on the left side of the keyboard thankfully not a lot of juice to all minor.
    I managed to clean most on the surface. And had to work it's good enough to get out of the speaker box.

    However, some of the keys are a bit of stick now, i wondered if there are techniques to withdraw safely on that I must do before I try to block these keys. Hmm pressing on enter appear... in any case...

    I had one of these laptops before a few months ago, but one of the keys is broken somehow, after that, I got a little worried because I had to basically return it and get another laptop from work. If im sure it was a defective key with the last one I was not playing with keys, but I'm not sure how sustainable this is. Also this will probably also help to learn how to clean the keyboard, theres a bit of a dust and grump under the space bar which has been botherin me an i have no idea how to remove one get clean the dirt below.

    I'll check this post when I wake up in the morning. If you know the techniques of hair removal good explain please, I'm not very good with directions so patient with me.

    Hello

    To be honest, you will never be able to clean the keyboard. Break down the water is maybe not so bad, but the juice is sticky and can not be cleaned properly.
    I'm afraid that you need a new keyboard. :(
