If you’re a true gamer then you understand the need for speed when it comes to your computer system. Having a faster system means less lock ups, less chance for choppiness in 
video and just overall smoother game play.
There are several things you can do to ensure that your games run as fast as possible on your system. Below will give you a few tips on what you can do to ensure your system is maintained properly and offers optimal speed for all of your programs.
Disk Derangement
The disk derangement will scan your hard disk for any errors. These errors could include improperly named files, lost files, unused files and corrupt files. Each sector will be scanned thoroughly and your hard disk will be condensed for optimal performance. It is recommended that you run the def rag process at least twice a month.

Update Operating System Files
Be sure that you get the automatic updates that are needed to keep your operating system up to date and running smoothly for the programs you install. You may want to check manually for updated drivers for your video cards or sound cards.
Create Hard Drive Space
Remove those unused programs that just take up space. If you have a large music or video collection on your system, think about getting an external hard drive to store them on to free up the space you need for smoother game play.
Remove Start Up Programs
When Windows boots up, there are programs that are automatically set to begin running. You will notice that your task bar contains several icons, these icons belong to programs that are running in your systems background and they are causing it to bog down. Remove any programs that are set to load at start up with the exception of your antivirus program.
Install and Update Antivirus Software
It is crucial to have antivirus software installed on your system in order to protect against spyware, adware, viruses and other malware programs. Be sure it is kept up to date and that you run it regularly.
Shut Down Properly
Always shut down your system properly to protect against corruption in your registry and in the sectors of your hard drive.
