Is Your Windows Laptop icy Up? Here's a Rundown on possible Reasons Why

Is your laptop saying stop on you intermittently whether for short or longer periods of time? If so fear not as it's likely a question you can fix and doesn't necessarily mean your laptop's hardware is dying on you. Below is a rundown on possible causes that are worth checking up on before throwing in the towel:

Too many programs running

Laptop Ssd

One of the prime causes for computer's frosty up in Windows is the fact that you're heavily multi-tasking. What does this mean in practice? It's quite easy to spot, if you have opened up discrete programs all at once and naturally flick between them on a continues basis then each is using up law resources such as processor time, law memory, hard drive entrance etc. When this happens each application must fight for its own share of law resources and those that are whether more demanding due to their own nature or deemed higher priority by Windows itself will get to rule the roost first leaving fewer resources for any others also in the queue. Start Task employer via Ctrl+Alt+Del and check your Cpu usage as well as law memory and virtual memory usage. These are obvious telling signs that your laptop is crippling at its knees. Are the law fans louder than when idle? This also might be a further tell sign, is the disk Led permanently flickering? See, this too is a good indication. Keep following the logic trail for some easy and quick answers.

Windows registry size and errors

Back in the 1990's there used to be many complaints circulating that Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft intentionally made Windows slower to force habitancy to upgrade their hardware more often. Why this was and remains only a myth and not fact Windows itself has evolved over the years and was but also remains a highly involved piece of software. The Windows registry is a repository where Windows but also most software you ever install shop its settings. Over time the Windows registry gets bloated and entries that get deleted over time (i.e. When an application gets uninstalled) are naturally left blank taking up space but having no law value. Furthermore, new entries don't take up these blank spaces but rather get appended at the end of these files bloating the registry even further. If this wasn't adequate discrete software that writes and reads to the Windows registry can leave old entries that come to be invalid straight through dependencies on other entries. Do this over and over and soon adequate time will cause it to come to be fragmented causing the registry files to grow in size and last but not least be bug prone. The net corollary of policy is reduced speed of entrance and missing/invalid entries, which then indirectly contribute to lower law performance. Is there a proven recipe to manufacture sure every Windows programmer out there together with the many covering of Microsoft itself get their act together and write more trustworthy code? Unfortunately no but fortune has it that there's a remedy to this problem. Download, install and run a program such as Ccleaner and choose the Registry option. This will detect any registry errors and if you so choose equally fix them.

Overheating

There are discrete reasons for why your laptop might be overheating. When this happens the thermal security properties possible in virtually all semiconductors thus namely processors, Gpu's, motherboard chipsets come to be activated, which in most cases results in the gismo slowing down. If for example the processor slows down then you'll very likely feel it straight away via more sluggish wide performance. The prime concern for why laptops overheat is that dust gathers up near the ventilation vents where "fresh" air is sucked in and later fed straight through the internal fans and heatsinks. Consequently, it's a good idea to clear these clean with a fresh paintbrush. If dust is graphic inside then taking the laptop apart is the only choice, do this whether yourself via consulting a service by hand for your laptop model or take it to a fix shop. If you run demanding software that stresses the components of your laptop then this may also corollary in it overheating. Do note any way that laptop manufactures build their devices to run virtually all software, do not be automatically alarmed if you see higher component temperatures. What's more, if you heavily multi-task, you're laptop is far more likely to run hotter, but this doesn't automatically mean it's overheating. Normally, running demanding software in the background why you browse the Internet will still cause a rise in temperatures, remember that just because an application is running in the background as oppose to the foreground it isn't necessarily placing less strain on law components. If you would like to check the temperatures of your laptop's internal components then download, install and run a program such as Aida64.

Not adequate law memory

Haven't you heard this one before? Dj vu all over again you might think. While your eyes might be drifting to more pleasant views at the sheer mention, the facts are plain and simple. If your laptop does not have adequate corporeal memory installed and providing you run demanding software or multi-task heavily you will hit a brick wall in the form of insufficient law memory. For this conjecture you may have heard depositions such as "running slow, buy more Ram" quite a few times, with the word "Ram" being interchangeable for "memory" since it stands for Random entrance Memory and is thus the same thing. The key is to remember that every time you run any software on your laptop portions of it need to get read into law memory, the corporeal stuff inexpressive away inside. Once this runs low or runs out your laptop is forced to rely more and more on virtual memory, this being nothing more than a measure of your hard drive or solid state drive. As the latter two are far slower than your law memory (remember this being the corporeal memory) then the brick wall has been smashed and now you're using second rate law resources to say usability, albeit at the charge of slower performance. Again, open up Task employer via Ctrl+Alt+Del and check your law memory usage. Is this running high? If you approach in any place near to 80% usage of all the corporeal memory installed in your laptop then take this as an indication to upgrade. Consult your laptop's specification and buy at least one favorable Sodimm (Small outline Dual Inline Memory Module). Installing it will be a breeze - most laptops highlight their memory compartments placed on the underside, so turn your laptop upside down (when turned off of course) and start your explore there.

Fragmented or dying hard drive, Trim command solid state drive

You've heard the mention of fragmentation before in this text haven't you? Fear not, this won't be yet someone else dj vu moment. While times have evolved and yet more and more laptops ship with a Solid State Drive(s) (Ssd's) the truth out there is still that most ship with the slower but oh so economy hard drive(s) (Hdd's) installed as standard. Is this a conjecture for despair on its own? Not in the slightest, modern Sata 2.5 inch hard drives are unmistakably quite speedy, the bit that turns your smile into a somewhat grin is fragmentation. You see, think of the space on a hard drive as in the simplest form a vast array of clusters, these themselves tiny warehouse units like the cells you find in a beehive. Each is identical in size, for example 4096 bytes. Files are rarely this small and regularly vary in size considerably thus need to occupy many of these clusters. For instance, when you install some software it saves (via writing) files to your hard drive. It does so in a random fashion, the hard disk controller naturally writes to those that are marked as available, which may not be sequent to each other. This causes fragmentation and means that when these files need to be then read the hard disk head(s) (the arm that moves about over the private platters) need to jump colse to a lot more locating each of the essential clusters (thus files) in turn. The net corollary is of policy slower carrying out and so next time you tap your fingers grinning why is software X starting up slower than it used to, ask yourself, could it be down to fragmentation? If so, download install and run a program such as Auslogics Defraggler. This doesn't help? It might be that your hard drive is dying, download, install and run a program such as Hdtune and run a health test while also running a sector scan to be sure.

What if you're one of the lucky ones to have a Ssd(s) instead? Here things are a puny different. There are no intriguing parts inside Ssd's and so fragmentation isn't an issue. Don't jump in joy just yet, you see there's this thing called Trim but first and foremost Ssd's store data differently to general hard drives. In the former as explained above, at the bottom level is a vast array of small clusters, these get grouped into larger sectors. Ssd's meanwhile don't highlight clusters but rather pages, which can also, for example be 4096 bytes in size. These pages are grouped into blocks rather than sectors. When a lump on a traditional hard drive is marked as deleted, the data in that lump can be overwritten with new data. In an Ssd meanwhile a page marked as deleted can only be filled with new data after it's been erased. This carrying out not only prolongs the whole write carrying out (thus slower performance) but also contributes to reducing the lifespan of each page given the nature of Nand flash memory that Ssd's are comprised of. Is there a solution? While Nand flash memory is improving year on year for longer endurance, you can help solve the degradation in carrying out of your current Ssd via enabling the Trim command. This command allows Windows to edify your Ssd which blocks of data are no longer carefully in use and can be wiped internally before they are unmistakably needed to be written to with new data. To accomplish this you need to check whether there's a firmware update for your singular model of Ssd, or alternatively consider upgrading and installing a new(er) Ssd supporting Trim from the get go. Do note that you also need to be running Windows 7.
