<img height="185" src="http://digitalunite.com/sites/default/files/images/keyboard850.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div class="intro" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 1.09em; line-height: 1.7em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.09em; line-height: 1.7em;">Using keyboard shortcuts can greatly increase your productivity, reduce repetitive strain, and help keep you focused. For example, highlighting text with the keyboard and pressing Ctrl + C is much faster than taking your hand from the keyboard, highlighting the text using the mouse, clicking copy from the file menu, and then putting your hand back in place on the keyboard. Below are our top 10 keyboard shortcuts we recommend everyone memorize and use.</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">

Both <b>Ctrl + C</b> and <b>Ctrl + Insert</b> will copy the highlighted text or selected item.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">
Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert</h2>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">

<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">

<div class="intro" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 1.09em; line-height: 1.7em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">

<br /></div>
<div class="intro" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 1.09em; line-height: 1.7em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If memory is already installed in your computer memory slots, some or all of it needs to be removed before additional memory can be added. Below are the steps on how to remove memory from your computer.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If the computer is not already opened, open the computer and locate the memory in the memory slots you want to remove.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
<img alt="Crucial memory scanner" class="floatRight" src="http://www.computerhope.com/issues/pictures/memory-scanner.jpg" height="244" style="border: 0px; float: right; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em -4.3em 2em 4em; padding: 0px;" width="346" />If all your memory slots are occupied and you are not sure what memory to remove, use a third-party tool such as the onlineCrucial Memory scanner<img border="0" src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-7180809-5032657" height="1" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="1" /> to display your memory information. The picture is an example of what the results of this memory scanner may show. As can be seen in the picture, the example computer has 8GB of memory with 2GB memory cards in each of the available slots. If you wanted to upgrade this to a total of 16GB of memory, you would remove all 2GB memory sticks and replace them with 4GB memory modules.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
Once you've located the memory you want to remove from the computer you should notice two tabs on either side of the memory slot as shown in the picture below. Press each tab down and away from the memory slot. If done successfully, the memory should pop out and once both tabs are away from the memory module you can lift the memory out with no effort.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">

<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5625; margin: 0px 0px 0px 4.5em; padding: 0px 0px 8px 3px;">Write down important information from the top or bottom of the power supply such as the Model Number, Serial Number and specifications (such as voltage...).</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5625; margin: 0px 0px 0px 4.5em; padding: 0px 0px 8px 3px;">Ensure you are familiar with ESD and its potential dangers.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5625; margin: 0px 0px 0px 4.5em; padding: 0px 0px 8px 3px;">When physically installing the power supply, ensure the computer is off and the power plug is disconnected from the power supply.</li>
</ol>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">
Remove previous power supply</h2>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If you are replacing a power supply that is already in the computer, remove the power supply from the computer by first disconnecting the power supply from the motherboard and all other devices and then unscrewing the screws on the back of the power supply and possibly within the computer case.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">
Install power supply</h2>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
Once no power supply is installed into the computer, place the new power supply into the computer and screw the screws into the back of the power supply. Most computer cases today also have a screw within the computer case; if present, also screw a screw into this hole.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">
Connect cables</h2>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
Once the power supply has been physically installed into the case and is being held in the case, attach the power supply cable from the power supply to the motherboard. Next, connect each of the power connectors for the hard drive, cd drive, floppy drive and any other peripherals.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">

Remove previous processor</h2>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If a processor is already installed in the computer it must be removed before a new processor can be added.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If the processor is a socket processor and has an attached heat sink, it must first be removed before the processor can be removed. Most socket heat sinks have a wire to supply power to the fan, first remove this wire. Next, you should notice clips on either side processor holding it in place. Pressing down on the larger end of the clip and then moving the clip away from the processor should release one end of the clip allowing for the heat sink to be removed.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
Once the socket heat sink has been removed, if your processor is a ZIF processor, remove the socket processor by locating a small arm on one of the sides of the processor. This arm is a small metal bar. Moving this bar from a horizontal to a vertical position will release the processor.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If your processor is a LIF processor you need a processor and chip remove tool to remove the processor. If you are adding a new processor it is likely that this tool is included with the processor. If not, it can be purchased at a local computer shop or computer retail store. Place this tool between the processor and the socket and gently work the processor out of the socket, doing a little on each side of the processor at a time. When doing this, be careful not to bind or break any of the pins.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If your processor is a slot processor, the heat sink does not need to be removed and in most cases cannot be removed. To remove a slot processor, locate two tabs on either side of the processor. Move these slots to the outward position and the processor should be able to be removed by vertically pulling it out.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">
Install processor</h2>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
Once no processor is currently installed in the computer, follow the steps below for installing your processor.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
<b>Socket Processor</b></div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If you are installing a ZIF socket processor into the computer, begin first by moving the metal arm located on one of the sides of the socket to a vertical position. Next, examine the top of the processor that should have a small dot in one of the corners. This dot indicates where pin one is located on the bottom of the processor. Next, examine the socket on the motherboard; this socket should have a missing hole or should have a 1 indicating pin one. Position the processor so both pin1 and hole1 match and then place the processor down.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If properly positioned, now when moving the metal arm to the down or horizontal position it should firmly connect the processor.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If you are installing a LIF socket processor, first examine the top of the processor and locate pin one, located with a small white dot. Once pin one has been located, look at the socket and locate pin one on the socket on the motherboard. Pin one on the socket will be located by either looking for a missing hole on the socket itself or by looking for a small one next to one of the four corners.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
Once the pins have been aligned properly, gently press the processor into the socket until it is firmly attached.</div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
<b>Slot Processor</b></div>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
Finally, if you are installing a slot processor, first move the tabs on either side of the support brackets to the outward position. Next, install the processor by pressing the processor into the slot. Once successfully installed into the brackets the two tabs should snap into place.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">
Apply heat compound</h2>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
It is recommended if your computer processor is a 200MHz or higher and does not already contain a processor heat sink that a heat compound or grease be applied between the processor and heat sink to help distribute the heat away from the processor.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">
Attach heat sink</h2>
<div class="tab" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
Once the processor has been successfully installed and the heat compound applied, attach the computer heat sink to the processor.</div>

Today, we suggest a minimum of 1GB of memory (RAM) for 32-bit system and 2GB for a 64-bit system. By having enough memory for programs to run within memory your computer will not need to swap information stored within memory to the swap file. If your computer hard drive light is constantly active, its a good indication of your computer is swapping information betewen your memory and hard drive because of the lack of space in memory.</div>

One of the biggest bottlenecks of a computer is the hard disk drive. For anyone with a slow computer or just looking for something to upgrade in the computer to improve overall system performance going from a traditional HDD to a Solid State Drive (SSD)will significantly improve the overall system performance.</div>

Run registry cleaner</h2>

We normally do not recommend registry cleaners. However, if you have followed all of the above steps and your computer is still slow try running a registry cleaner on the computer.</div>

Make sure your computer and processor is not overheating. Excessive heat can cause a significant decrease in computer performance since most processors automatically step the speed of the processor down to help compensate for the heat related issues.</div>
<div class="tab" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">

Dust, dirt, and hair can also constrict a proper air flow on your computer, which can also cause a computer to overheat. Make sure your computer case is clean and fans are not obstructed.</div>

Erase computer and start over</h2>
<div class="tab" style="border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">
If none of the above solutions resolve your issues, it is recommended that you either reinstall Windows or erase everything and then start over.</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; clear: left; color: #2a70d0; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.29em; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1; margin: 0.3em 0px 0.9em; padding: 0px 7em 0px 0px;">
Old computer</h2>

If your computer is older than five years come to terms that it is likely the age of the computer that is causing it to be slow. Computers progress at an alarming rate as new programs and updates for programs come out their minimum requirements can increase and cause older computers to slow down. If your computer is older than five years we suggest purchasing a new computer or just realize after following the above steps it is going to run slower than a newer computer.</div>
<div class="tab" style="border: 0px; color: #454545; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.7em; margin-left: 2.5em; padding: 0px 7em 2em 0px;">

Finally, if your computer continues to be slower than normal after going over each of the above recommendations (including erasing and starting over) it's possible that your computer is experiencing a more serious hardware related issue such as a failing component in the computer. This could be a failing or bad hard drive, CPU, RAM,motherboard, or other component.</div>
