Make sure it's well ventilated. It can help a lot. ^^

You might want to use a recent version of Firefox or Chrome/ium instead

Re: how to make my computer go faster

Is it a pre-made PC (Dell, HP, Alienware, etc)? If so, get Revo Uninstaller or The PC Decrapifier.

If you are willing spend money, by new RAM, or a new CPU or GPU.

Re: how to make my computer go faster

CCleaner is also nice. You can additionally delete large files you don't use.

Just a tip: If you're on Windows, and someone tells you to delete System32, DO NOT LISTEN. It deletes Windows entirely.

Re: how to make my computer go faster

All good points, but don't forget to keep plenty of space on your HDD.

Also, uninstall uneeded programs and prevent programs from starting up on logon.

Try reinstalling Windows for a real boost  wink

Re: how to make my computer go faster

delete system32
it makes it super fast
no windows = no worries
im so helpful aren't i


If you are having trouble with simple counting, use the following mnemonic device: 1 comes before 2 comes before 5,280 comes before 523,860,759 comes after the square root of -153 comes before π. This will make your previous counting problems seem like no big deal.

Use a catapult.


Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.
