I want to pray game...and there are 2 simple rules...i mean 2 simpre woos (my Asian accent could use some work) 1) a couple tips to help my laptop work a bit better 2) im not spending more than 10 dollars on my laptop my shit crashes due to overheating, the fan makes my laptop too loud to bring to class, i can barely use 3 programs at once...shit is gay when i first got my laptop say....4 months ago this thing was a beast, i had several apps running at once and it didn't make a peep....now its piece of shit so now im hoping to make it a lil better before i buy my mac book (which is why im not spending more than 10 dollars on this crap). mac books give NONE of the bullshit that other laptop providers give...and the customer service is amazing Edited Fri Mar 26 2010, 06:47PM |

a few things. #1, will not fight with you about Macs anymore. I have a buddy who works at best buy with me, and he has easily made me go buy one hopefully in the next two years... #2 - plan on selling your laptop after you get your mac? I need a good laptop but don't want to spend $900 on a brand new lappy. PM me if your interested in selling it  and what the specs arealright down to bidniz. 1) Remove all the programs that you rarely use, or just don't use anymore. Keep ONLY the shit you need, anything that you are thinking "well I might use that for..." fucking get rid of it. You can reinstall it after I'm done with you. 2) After you've deleted 2 gigs of programs you'll never use, do a disk cleanup and a disk defragment. Start > Accesories > System Tools > etc 3) Download CCleaner from -[link]- latest version is at top right of the page. run this EVERYDAY and try and figure out how much shit you're deleting a day. Ex. I run it everyday and I filter out over 164MB of worthless crap that I shouldn't be saving. May not sound like a lot, but it is tedious stuff that can slow your computer down just the slightest bit. If you are getting rid of as much as me, something is wrong that you need to fix. After it's all done it tells you what it deleted, so you can stop your computer from saving those types of files. 4) Download Spybot S&D - Search and Destroy. The immunization in the program will not only protect your computer, but also tell you about the latest viruses that can infect your computer. this program is virtually useless unless you update every time you use the program. Download THAT here: -[link]- The others will hopefully post other programs that will help you, so I will only leave you with the basics. Doing these simple, easy steps should take about 30 minutes (the Spybot program will take the longest to update and actually scan all your files for viruses, plus it needs to immunize your computer. this program alone will take 20 mins - 1 hour) This will greatly increase your computers safety, and speed. Like I said, I'm sure the others have other shit to tell you, so these are just the basics. Edited Fri Mar 26 2010, 07:25PM |

No need a conscience when I'm just going to reformat whatever you have with Win7 anyways. |

Buy a can of compressed air and blow it into the fans/heat sinks (especially in the exhaust fans) if you don't want to open the case. If you think you are leet enough to open the case, then still get the canned air, but also buy some artic silver + artic silver surface cleaner from newegg and re-seat your cpu heat sink (artic silver actually has a really good guide on their website on how to use their thermal grease. Highly recommend reading before doing any heat sink work) | ||
