• As the computer is old and slow it is better to increase the RAM or better to invest in a new computer update?

  original title: lack of RAM

  McAfee, unable to update as the only security base 256 and 512 MB of RAM required. As the computer is old and slow it is better to increase the RAM or better to invest in a new computer update. Would appreciate help in this case. Also as I'm pretty computer illiterate, please use the terms that I can follow. Thank you

  Hi Kathleen Almeida,.

  Because the computer is old, instead of upgrading the ram, you can buy new computer. I suggest you contact system manufacturer more about if you need to upgrade or buy a new computer.

  Everyone is different and has different needs and different desires.
  There are * no. * programs that everyone should run. See below for
  Tips on what you should maybe stop start automatically,
  But first of all to consider the possibility that your problem with what he is
  slowly maybe nothing to do with what starts automatically.
   
  Perhaps the most common performance issue of today is malware
  infection and the first thing you should do is be sure that you are not
  infected. So, what anti-virus and anti-spyware programs run, and
  If they are updated?
   
  Once you talked about this question and that is rid of all
  Malware or get assured that you are not infected, you can address
  the issue of automatic startup programs:
   
  First of all, note that you should be in * all * programs that
  starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
  Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
  Status bar.
   
  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
  Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
  Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
  Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
  work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
  Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.
   
  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
  the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
  you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs
  you run, but * that *. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
  others have no effect on performance.
   
  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
  is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
  the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
  Internet search and ask questions about the details here.
   
  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
  decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

• Company to offer antivirus services and help with the computer's performance, it was a scam?

  I was rung to the top by a company, who said they were by Windows and it had been brought to their attention that my computer is slow.  That's why they sounded me.  They have spent a lot of time to show me the files that have been slowing down.  Their name is teche4pc.  I ended up finding them VirusControl (110 US dollars).  My computer is not better.  Have I been scammed? The product is called F-Secure.

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

  Yes!

  It's a scam and with various names and phone numbers, is
  very frequent lately.

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
  where confidential information they stole.

  So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
  immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
  2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other

• computer struggling to start, slow internet, crashes in the past

  I had a problem during the 2 weeks when I try to turn on my computer, it usually won't turn on and start. I press the button and it flips amber for a second, but not power not on.

  After hours the other day I finally got and I was leaving on fear to turn it off. The computer fan also does not work. Also in the internet on this subject started to become very slow for a few days, and yet even internet works fine on my other computer that I use now to post with. The computer itself is not slow, just the internet on this subject. I don't know how this could be related, but I guess it must be related to my problem given that the Internet is fine on my other computer.

  Also, not sure if this is related, but until this problem occurs the computer freezes a lot and I have to force it off the coast. Or he would break himself. I don't know what message it would but it would go to the black screen of death and mention something about an internal clock, then restart itself.

  I removed Mcafee virus softwear a few weeks ago and downloaded Microsoft virus softwear on the same day. Other then that I did not any changes to the computer recently. I use a Dell Studio xps 435MT with vista. I checked and all drivers are updated.

  Here are the steps I did to try to understand the problem: I have run the dell diagnostic test and it detected no problems. I also looked in the event viewer, but there's a lot of mistakes, so I don't know if it could cause a problem. Memory diagnostics have been run, and no problem found there. A comprehensive analysis was performed as well and it detected no viruses.

• Slow performance after you have reinstalled the computer

  Original title: PC Performence question

  Hi, I reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit a week ago and for some reason any when I installed this time, it made my PC slow for some reason any. My PC is mainly a PC game and while playing games my FPS is so low that the PC is designed for. My specs of my PC is: Intel Core i5 4670, 8 GB of Ram 1600 Mhz, ASUS B85M-E / CSM Motherboard, EVGA GeForce GTX 960 FTW 4 GB, 128 GB SSD SP600 ADATA, 2 TB Western Digital Caviar Green, Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 600W. This question has never happened before, I have owned this PC for 2 years now and never stumbled upon something like that. When I run something like Windows Update my PC returns to the State, it should be, but after its been check updates and my PC is back to having problems. I use a program called "Razer Cortex' for my PC back to what it was before all these problems began to occur. I think some thing in the process systems are realize these questions, but I'm not sure. I would really like to have a fix for this problem to my PC that she had a few weeks back.

  Hello

  Please contact Microsoft Community. I've surely you will help solve this problem.

  This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

  1 conflict between third-party applications.

  2. for many programs that are configured to start automatically when Windows starts.

  Try the steps listed here:

  Open the troubleshooting of System Maintenance Utility
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/open-the-system-maintenance-Troubleshooter

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest to start the computer using safe mode and check if it helps. If so, the value of the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  Step 1:
  To start the computer in Mode safe following the procedure described in the link. At the start of the computer Mode safe with the minimum set of drivers and files.
  Start your computer in safe mode
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=Windows-7

  Step 2:
  We will define the computer in a clean boot, if the issue occur not in Mode without failure. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  Warning: After the clean boot troubleshooting steps, see the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 3:
  If the problem persists, I suggest to try the procedure described in the article that willoptimize Windows 7 to speed up performance optimize Windows 7 to speed up performance optimize Windows 7 to speed up performance optimize Windows 7 to speed up performance. Check if it helps.

  Caution:

  1. Disk Cleanup cleans the files associated with your user account. You can also use Disk Cleanup to clean all the files on your computer.
  2. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
