The slow startup speed of computer is a common problem now, so what is the reason for the slow startup of computer? Today, this article will introduce five ways to deal with the slow start-up of computers, mainly from five aspects: optimizing the system, killing viruses, correctly selecting the operating system, upgrading hardware, and troubleshooting software and hardware. Through these five methods, you can definitely speed up the computer boot speed, and friends who need it can refer to it.
Tools/raw materials: optimization software, antivirus software.
According to the actual situation, prepare the hardware (SSD solid state drive, CPU, memory) needed for upgrading.
First, optimize the system
1. Reduce unnecessary startup items and reduce the burden on the computer. Many softwares "like" to start with the system startup. Disabling startup items is one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to improve the startup speed.
Windows 8 can be operated directly in Task Manager, and other versions of Windows operating system can start item management in msconfig. If you don’t understand it, it is recommended to use third-party optimization software for optimization.
2, disable unnecessary services, some services we may never use, disabling some services will also reduce the burden on the computer.
Right-click the computer → Management → Services, set the unnecessary services as disabled. If you don’t understand them, it is recommended to use third-party optimization software for optimization.
3. Clean up the junk files reasonably.
Some optimization software frequently prompts how many junk files there are. In fact, frequent garbage cleaning may make the computer start up more slowly, because some files are not junk files, files read by the computer in advance, and these files will speed up the computer start-up to a certain extent.
Some residual registers have a great influence on the boot speed, and some computer management software is difficult to remove. Need to manually clear, press winkey+r, and enter regedit enter in the run window. Open the registry, and search and delete through the keywords of the software name. It should be noted that deleting the registry has certain risks, and the principle of not deleting it is uncertain.
Second, killing viruses
1. If there is a malicious program in the computer, whether it is turned on or running normally, the computer will become extremely slow. So the poisoned computer will have a qualitative improvement after killing the virus.
There are generally three kinds of antivirus methods: ① routine antivirus, ② safe mode antivirus, and ③PE system antivirus.
2. For the virus that can’t be killed, reinstall the system.
Third, the correct choice of operating system
1. For computers with low configuration and old hardware, XP system is recommended.
2. If the configuration meets the requirements, it is recommended to use Windows 8.1. Microsoft has made special optimization for the boot speed of Windows 8. With UEFI, even the mechanical hard disk can control the boot speed within 15 seconds.
3. Set the motherboard to UEFI boot (the system needs to be reinstalled). UEFI avoids complicated startup such as traditional BIOS self-check and greatly improves the boot speed.
If the memory is larger than 4G, it is recommended to choose a 64-bit operating system from the perspective of making full use of resources.
Fourth, upgrade the hardware
1. Replace the SSD and install the system in the SSD. Because the reading and writing speed of solid-state hard disk is several times that of mechanical hard disk, after replacing solid-state hard disk, the computer boot speed will have a qualitative leap. Windows 8 UEFI uses a solid state drive, which usually takes 3-5 seconds to complete.
2. Replace a more advanced CPU. CPU is the core of the computer, replacing CPU can improve the computing power of the computer, and upgrading CPU can shorten the boot time of the computer to a certain extent.
3. Add memory chips. Memory is the high-speed cache of the computer. If the memory is tight, adding memory bars will help to shorten the boot time.
Five, hardware and software troubleshooting
1, computer software or hardware failure, it may seriously affect the performance of the computer boot. Troubleshooting computer faults is generally a method of first soft and then hard.
To completely eliminate the software reasons, you can choose to reinstall the system. The main reasons for slow startup due to software are:
① Files in the system or other application software are damaged due to abnormal shutdown. Generally, relevant information can be found from the system log. When you start running, you can enter the event viewer by typing eventvwr.msc.
② There are bugs or incompatible systems in the driver or other software. Generally, relevant information can be found from the system log.
③ Disk error scanning or system update, please wait until it is finished, and it won’t appear again next time.
2. The problem of slow boot after using the original reinstall the system still exists, which is probably caused by hardware failure. Hardware failures that will lead to slow boot mainly include:
① Hard disk failure, such as bad track. The specific performance is slow self-checking (BISO self-checks the hardware operation status after displaying the motherboard brand information), unable to identify or the hard disk light is always on without flashing. The computer starts very slowly or cannot start. High failure probability.
② Failure of input and output devices, such as keyboard and mouse. Mainly manifested as slow self-inspection, slow start-up, input and output equipment failure. High failure probability.
③ The network card, network cable and network are abnormal or damaged. The main performance is that unplugging the network cable is normal, and plugging in the network cable is very slow. High failure probability.
④ Other hardware failures, such as memory, graphics card, CPU and motherboard. Low failure probability.
The above is a tutorial on the reasons for the slow startup of the computer. Some operations are risky. Please pay attention to the backup information or consult relevant information. The above is the introduction of five ways to deal with the slow start of the computer, hoping to help everyone!
