My computer is going the speed of a turtle Ok

My computer is going the speed of a turtle Ok, nobody panic - things are going to be Laptop Battery okay. I can see the computer technicians cash register Toshiba Laptop Battery going round in your eyes. But don't fret!


Before you decide to take it into the technician, first do some clearing out of your own computer because it could simply be that your computer is full of rubbish you don't actually need.


Firstly check how much of your hard drive space you have left. To keep getting good performance from your hard drive you should always keep 20% free. If you have much less than that - then you should look to removing some unneeded or unused programs. If you still need to free up space then would be good to back up any media (ie, photo's / videos / music etc) or anything onto a removable drive or Laptop Battery Hp laptop battery another hard drive. It is good practice to always have two copies of anything though!


Next, you can delete cookies and temp files from your computer to free up more space as these can fill up rather quickly. Cookies (cache) and/or temp files are created either by the internet or other programs. They're basically a snap shot of a website or project you're working on, so that the next time you access that information it doesn't take as much time to load, because it already has an idea of how it looked before. So you don't have to worry so much when you delete these as next time you go Toshiba PA3191U-1BRS Battery into a website or project your system will automatically create another "cookie" or "temp" file with a new image.

Details on how to do it (These are the instructions for Internet Explorer)Compaq PP2100 battery :

Deleting Cookies and Temp files:

The easiest way to delete these is to open your internet browser

Click on 'tools'

Then Select 'Internet options'

Then click delete browser history'

Then click the 'delete cookies button' and then the 'delete files button'.


This may take a little time (a minute or two) Toshiba PA3285U-1BRS Battery especially if you haven't done it for a long time or at all so just be patient.


To delete the temp files and cookies in Mozilla Firefox follow these instructions:-

Click on 'tools'

Then click 'options'

Then click on the 'privacy' tab

Then click 'show cookies'

Then click 'remove all cookies'


You can also select the option to Hp DP390A battery have your private data deleted each time you close your browser. By clicking the box so that the tick appears when you're in the 'privacy' Toshiba PA3384U-1BRS Battery tab. If you're running Windows there is also a disk cleanup tool that will do the above and more. Go to:

Start // Programs // Accessories // System Tools // Disk Cleanup


After you delete a bit of stuff (especially if you delete programs or remove things from your drive) it'd be a good idea to do a disk defrag so your drive is re-organized and back in order. To do this in MS Windows go to:

Start // Programs // Accessories // System Tools // Disk Defragmenter

Then select the drive you want defragmented (if you have more than one) Toshiba PA3383U-1BRS Battery and then click defragment and it will defrag the drive.


I hope this helps - if you use a browser other than the two I've used as examples then fire through an email or leave a comment here and we'll do our best to get instructions on how to do this same procedure for your browser. Have a great week!


Laptop batteries are ridiculously expensive and so any tips on how to save them should be Hp HSTNN-UB02 battery shared.


Tips:

1. If you're not going to be using your laptop for a while. Take the Toshiba PA3107U-1BRS Battery off and put it in a bag and then put it into a freezer. This should help lower the risk of losing time on how long your battery charge lasts.


2. Don't leave your battery out in the sun or near anything that would expose the battery to high heat as the hotter the battery is, the quicker it will discharge.


3. Leaving the battery in the laptop while also having it plugged into the wall (an electrical outlet) will keep the battery in a constant state of charging which will decrease the life of your battery.


4. If you have a nickel metal Hp HSTNN-DB02 battery hydride Toshiba PA2487U Battery, then you should completely drain and recharge your battery once a month so that you maximize it's capacity to hold a charge.

SATA drives are defiantly faster in terms of performance, so if your motherboard supports them then go SATA. Apart from performance, SATA drives are also cheaper than IDE drives as IDE is an old technology that is being phased out. So for less dollars you can get a higher performing and larger capacity drive.


Can you run both IDE & SATA hard drives? Sure, if your motherboard supports it then you can run both drive types.
