SPEED IT UP!

Over time, all PCs tend to slow down. But don't despair. There are three simple ways to get more performance from your PC:

Get more RAM
Computer memory modules have never been cheaper. Installing more memory is a quick and simple process. Call us for more details.

Remove unnecessary programs
The more programs that are installed on a PC, the slower it tends to be. It is a good idea to remove any programs that haven't been used in over a year. Also, Norton Utilities does a good job of speeding up a bloated Windows Registry.

Check your antivirus programs

An antivirus program with an expired subscription offers little if any protection. It may also be robbing your system of performance. Some new antivirus programs such as Norton Internet Security are much more efficient than others. They protect your PC without slowing it down significantly.

BACK IT UP!
The programs on a PC or Mac are not cheap, but the data is irreplaceable. Don't risk losing precious photographs and documents. A number of large external hard drives are ready to offer quick and inexpensive back ups. In fact, the best approach is to back up everything TWICE! Call for details.

Guide :- Cleaning Your Graphics Card

Before you begin, proper tools are required - 

• screwdrivers
• cleaning materials such as canned air, alcohol, cotton swabs, and replacement thermal paste.
• small brush to wipe away additional dust and old thermal interface material but that is optional

Disassemble Your Card



Removing the screws holding the card’s rear heat/reinforcement plate in place.

Remove the small screws that hold the spring-loaded heat sink mount.

Gently pry the reinforcement plate off the card, using steady, even pressure. You should use the same technique for the fan shroud and heat sink. You might have to unplug the cooling fan from a port on the PCB.

Clean and Reassemble Your Card



1. Apply fresh thermal paste in all the places you used to remove it. Make sure you use the least amount of paste necessary to produce a complete layer over the surface of the chip you’d like to cool.

2. On the Radeon HD 7970 Card – and most other cards – a metal clip with four springs attaches to the heat sink over the GPU. Over time, the clip and the four springs can become deformed, which lowers the contact pressure to the GPU and makes your card run hot. In order to fix that, carefully flex the bracket upward and slightly stretch the springs back out.



3. With the bracket and springs stretched out, reattach the heat sink to the GPU. Make sure that the heat sink is making good, complete contact with the GPU. Screw in the spring-loaded mount.



4. Screw together the case bracket to the fan shroud.

5. Screw the card’s rear reinforcement plate back on.

Update Software

Go to the manufacturer site to see if there are updates for the vBIOS and drivers.

Select the exact model of your computer’s graphics card (you can find this in the Device Manager window).

If there are updates available, follow the instructions that the manufacturer provides. Following the manufacturer’s instructions is particularly important for flashing the vBios.

Connect your PC to your HDTV, and control it from across the room

Description

Do you find need of connecting your PC to your television? But, don’t know how to do it?? Then pay attention. This tutorial is going to help you a lot in this regard. 

Solution:



In case, your PC has an HDMI port then it is good for you as HDMI lets you send the best picture and sound from your computer to television. If your PC lacks an HDMI port then check for Display port. Display port also carries similar quality images and sound. HDTV never comes with Display port but you can buy one for yourself.

 



Furthermore, if your PC lacks both then look for DVI port. It can be used to send video signals only. For sending audio, you need to find another way. HDTV with HDMI port with an analog audio feed associated can play audio. 



Eventually, if your PC proffers only VGA then hopefully your HDTV does too. For setting resolution so as to get best results, check your TV’s manual. VGA is also for video only. To resolve this, you can find an analog audio input associated with your VGA connection. 
In order to control your computer from across the room, wireless mouse can be used. Therefore, for streaming HD video from a PC, Blu-ray player from one room to another room, check out for IOGear's new Wireless 5x2 HD Matrix.
Now, connect your HDTV to your PC and enjoy!! For more from the XpertCrewTM team, please follow us on Twitter @Techvedic or contact Techvedic’s computer support helpdesk, as per below contact-details:
