The steps I am going to teach you in this article will make your initial diagnosis on your PC before getting it to a technician to cough up more money on a simple problem. You can thus save a lot of money and time. But I am not discouraging you to avoid technicians completely, but it’s the ultimate way to keep your PC safe and secured. On the other hand if you can do your initial screening for the problems, you could be fixing the problem yourself. The points you pick up, the more skill you acquire that lets you repair your PC on your own, just like what a technician would do.

So what is the fist most step that I need to do to eliminate errors? Well, you need to clean up your hard disk, removing unwanted files, folders, programs, and data. You must remove them so that they won’t add up to the clutter that you already have in large. Now what you have done is reduced the computer load, so that it immediately boosts up the performance. Junks in large slows down PC and you must make sure this doesn’t happen. To remove the unwanted program installed on your computer go to Start > Run > Type ‘control’ without quotes to open up the control panel, then click on the Add/Remove program to remove unwanted programs. Then do a disk cleanup which can be found from Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools. This will compress the older files, resulting in more space, for efficient performance. Another thing that you can do is use a disk defragmenter tool. That can also be found in the same location as disk cleanup. This takes some more time, but this will make your hard drive clean and optimize it better for even much smoother and fail safe performance.

These first steps, as simple as it sounds, yes they are simple, is your ticket to access the speed needs of your computer and have a high performing PC in the future. As you know, most computer errors are the result of virus and other malicious programs. You must not let them stay on your PC for longer time. As more the time the virus stay, the more is their infiltration takes place which affects even more files just like a bad apple in a basket of bunch of apples. Be aware when you are downloading files from the internet, or any other program that you are not sure of its purpose. Install an antivirus program and keep them at bay!

That’s not all. You must make sure to have your antivirus or antispyware program updated with the latest malware definition files to make sure your protection tools are abreast with the latest threats. These updates will help you catch the recent virus and stay protected, as more and more viruses and other malicious files are being added to the internet everyday, so you need your protection tools to be updated. A healthy and protected computer will reduce the system errors to a great extent.

These are first steps that you can do before taking your PC to a local technician or remote service providers. The tools that are mentioned throughout this article are easily available and also easy to use. So now you know what you can do to screen your PC in the event of failure.

Another thing you need to be doing is to invest in a best registry cleaner and scan it regularly to clear the mess that is happening in your windows registry as a result of bloated obsolete entries that result from uninstallation and malware penetration. Make sure to schedule the scan to run everyday and optimize your registry to eliminate umpteen number of computer errors that are a result of a bad registry.
