Linkin Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Manage Priorities It is sometimes required to run specific programs faster, and smoother than other processes. This can be done by setting their priority levels, and alter the amount of system resources, including memory allocations, to these particular programs. Execute the following to accomplish this task successfully: Open Task Manager by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys From the Processes tab, right click the program you want to modify priority of, and click Go to details While in the Details tab, right-click the process and expand Set priority Choose the desired option according to your priority needs Run Memory Diagnostic tool to cure memory problems Like any other computer component, RAM needs to be in tip-top state to operate effectively and efficiently. This would mean correcting all invalid memory bits, and storing data in a perfect way. To corroborate the health of RAM, Windows comes with an in-built memory diagnostic tool that can be accessed from Control Panel: Type “control panel” in the Start Screen (Windows key) Click Control Panel icon from the search results Click System and Security Scroll down to choose Administrative Tools Locate and double click Windows Memory Diagnostic Follow onscreen instructions Run Wise Memory Optimizer Wise Memory Optimizer helps you free up and tune up the physical memory taken up by some useless applications to enhance PC performance. Not only can Wise Memory Optimizer trim memory usage instantly, it can be programmed to start itself. As long as it's open, you can tell the program to optimize your memory when it reaches critical levels. Restart computer when idle Most computer problems, including memory issues, can be healed by performing a system reboot. When you reset your computer, all RAM is wiped out and software codes are restarted. This prevents any program buildup and ensures the computer has empty RAM space when it starts again. Furthermore, reboots can also cure memory leaks, which is a phenomenon that occurs when a program fails to release the occupied memory when closed. Caused by incorrect program shutdowns, this problem can be solved by restarting the PC and clearing out all potential leaks in memory. If applying the above optimization tweaks did not provide you with the RAM boosting results you were expecting, I would suggest you start tuning your processor. To start-off, run a full PC scan for malware, virus, or other malicious software, and remove them entirely from your system. These harmful elements work as parasites; consuming your processing power in return for nothing but disaster. Secondly, check your hard drive for any errors, and perform defragmentation to keep it fully optimized for its cooperative role with CPU and RAM. To do this, follow this procedure: Open Computer Right-click the Hard Drive you want to scan Choose Properties Open Tools tab Click Check under Error checking to check drive for system errors. Follow the onscreen instructions Next, click Optimize under Optimize and defragment drive to make the drive run with greater efficiency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
