Netlogyx are experts in all forms of computer support on The Gold Coast and are happy to help with any questions you might have about cleaning your computer. Dust the destroyer! There are many things that can go wrong with your computer, but one of the most common is dust. Computers generate heat as they run and this makes it necessary to have some type of cooling system in place. This usually means a fan at either end or on both sides of the case where air can be pulled into the machine to reduce its temperature without sacrificing power output by using fans inside each component. As we don’t live in bubbles outside elements such as nature, animals and humans create an amazing amount of dust that your computer fan will inadvertently be sucked into your computer. Signs that your computer needs a clean • It’s Noisy – The incessant whir of the PC’s internal fan is a constant reminder that it needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. It may not seem like much, but over time dust and other debris can cause your computer’s interior components to wear down with heavy use or simply from age. One way you can ensure this doesn’t happen is by using compressed air cans on those pesky nooks and crannies inside the device so they don’t collect excessive amounts of junk in them. • It’s Hot – Dust can cause your laptop to overheat. In this case, dust particles are interfering with the computer’s ability to release heat from its casing. If you’re not sure whether or not it is running hot, then download a program that measures the core temperature of your computer and alerts you when its above normal! • It looks dirty – We all know how we feel when our computer starts to slow down. It’s frustrating, but if you can see visible grime on your monitor or the surface of your laptop it means that dirt is also lurking inside and should be removed as soon as possible. How often should you clean your computer? In order to keep your computer running to its full capacity you should look to be cleaning it very three to six months. This is a job that can be done yourself if you feel confident enough but if you are unsure about then the team at Netlogyx are here to help with the cleaning but also all your computer support on The Gold Coast.

Today’s the age of the computer, almost everyone has at least one personal computer and many have a variety of different types from a desktop to tablets and smart phones. Sometimes it feels like the computers are taking over, but in reality, they are only tools, glorified adding machines that deal with sorting information through codes and numbers at super high speeds. Almost every aspect of our lives now depends on computers and they are a crucial part of our daily life, but when they malfunction and you need a good PC repair service provider on the Gold Coast there are some steps you need to follow to locate the right one for you: When should you locate the right PC repair service provider?

When your system fails you then it’s a panic to find anyone who may be able to help you. The problem with this approach is that those then available to help you are most likely not to be the best or most qualified. How to find the right PC repair service provider for you The best way is word of mouth, but not their mouth; any wire jockey can tell you they are the best. But when it comes from their satisfied customers, then it’s believable and reliable. Ask your friends, coworkers and relations who they turn to when they have computer problems, some if not all of them will have needed a reliable technician to service or repair their computer equipment at some time. When you have a few different possibilities, check each one further to gauge their suitability for your requirements. Search Online A great PC repair technician will probably not also be a webmaster, but they should be able to create an easy to find presence on local social media or local SEO so they are very visible in the local search engine results as well as using Google My Business to have their business showing on Google maps. There are usually great reviews and comments from satisfied customers to view as well as links to their websites. Background Checks When on their website you can find out if they have been in business for a while or are they a startup with limited experience. Do they offer an all-round service or do they specialise in one area such as MAC/ Apple. Some technicians specialise in fixing laptops while other’ concentrate on things like infection and malware removal, others provide remote PC assistance. Will they come to you or do you have to take your whole system to their shop. Choosing a company or individual that is able to offer you the full range of services you need means you don’t have to go through this type of search again. Although they may not be able to fix every problem, they will have specialist associated so you will be covered for any eventuality. Finding the right PC repair specialist on the Gold Coast is best done through word of mouth, ask all everyone you know and these Google local search.

Below are 5 things to do to clean your computer this year: DELETE UNNECESSARY DATA If your computer is a few years old then it is going to have hundreds, if not thousands, of files and documents. Cleaning your computer is the most time-consuming task, but once you have deleted all the unnecessary data you can start to organise your remaining files in a system that is easy to understand and prevent accumulation clutter in the future.

Deleting old or unused browser extensions can significantly improve speed and load-time. Also for the beginning of a new year, clear your browser data to remove cookies and history for an even faster experience.

How Efficient Is Your Computer System?
HOW EFFICIENT IS YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM? If you… • Have noticed slow speeds on your computers networks • Had an increase in lost productivity due to technology issues recently • Would like to ensure technology is working for, not against your business growth Then you may need to look at optimizing your computer system. By taking action and having an experienced IT specialist thoroughly assess your computer network, you can instantly identify problems and inefficiencies in your businesses IT systems and provide solutions to help you maximize the return on your technology investment. With technology constantly changing and updating and the amount of data piling up in your systems growing every day, your computer networks can quickly become overrun resulting in… • Reduced employee productivity due to slow networks and IT outages • Outdated security and back-up solutions that are easily penetrated by Malware and viruses • Inefficient technology systems, which harm your businesses profitability and competitiveness SO, WHAT EXACTLY IS SYSTEM OPTIMISATION? System optimization is the term of system science, and now it is usually defined as the term of computer technology. System optimization requires reducing running processes in computer, changing work mode, deleting unnecessary break off for more efficient computer performance, optimizing file location for faster data write & read, freeing more system resources for computer use and reducing unnecessary system boot processes, etc. This will increase the stability and speed of computers, no harm to hardware. Computer system optimization includes many fields, it can clean Windows Temp Files in temp folder, free disk space, clean registry, reduce the possibility of system errors. It can also speed up computer boot, hold back auto-start processes, speed up internet speed and computer shutdown. Or even personalize the theme of Windows. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF OPTIMIZING MY SYSTEM? Even computers with the powerful third and fourth generation i7 Gigahertz processing power and Gigabytes of RAM need to be optimized. If you use your computer on a daily basis, you may not realize that it is getting slower by the day. The computer registry gets cluttered with useless registry keys and it just is not smart enough to get rid of the clutter on its own. The computer hard drive also gets cluttered with useless files that can and will slow your PC to a crawl if not properly optimized daily. REGISTRY CLEANING AND OPTIMIZATION Everything done on a computer whether programs are installed and uninstalled or simple tasks like web browsing are kept in the registry until it is cleaned out or optimized. A knowledgeable computer person can optimize the registry manually if he has way too much time on his hands but that is not recommended. If the wrong registry keys are deleted, the computer will become very unstable often unbootable. This is where a registry optimization program comes in handy. For example, when you eat too much your body slows down to a crawl until some of the food is digested or removed in another way. The same thing happens to the computer hard drive. Over time, it stores files that are not needed and slows down the computer until these junk files are removed. Again, this can be done manually but who has the time to dig around the Windows file system. HARD DRIVE OPTIMIZATION • you uninstall a program, more than likely the folder for that program is still on the hard drive and referenced in the registry. If you browse the Internet, temporary Internet files are cached on the system. Some of the cached files are okay because they are intended to make web browsing faster by not having to download an entire web page every time it is viewed. The problem is that it also stores files if you only go to a web site once and those files are unnecessary and will slow the computer down. A good computer optimization system will remove the unnecessary clutter on the hard drive thus optimizing the computer. By having an experienced tech take care of your system optimisation you will have all the necessary tools available to maximize computer performance with very little effort on your part. A computer needs to be cleaned up in more ways than the average person has time for. The file system needs to optimized at regular intervals. The hard drive needs defragmenting. The registry needs to be defragged and optimized. Outdated system device drivers can slow your PC to a crawl. All of this keeps your computer running at its peak performance however it’s something we often neglect.

Choosing The Right Operating System
When you’re running a business you obviously want it to be successful, which means that every aspect of operating your business needs to be working efficiently. From phone systems to filing cabinets, it all has to be covered, but one of the most overlooked elements to business success is your IT. This is mostly because it’s simply unpleasant and doesn’t bring you the joy that matching stationery does. However, it’s also because there’s so much at stake. You don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars setting up all your employees with operating software that’s just going to cause more headaches than its worth. These headaches can be crashes, payment issues, loss of data and being too slow to keep up with your business.

First of all, you can’t be sure whether the reviews you are reading online are biased or not, so you may fall prey to the upsell. As well as this, you don’t have the background knowledge to make this decision, and you will probably just choose something that is low on price so you can use this extra cash on that pretty stationery. And finally, going your own way and choosing something online means that all your maintenance of the product is up to you (or the company if you can stand sitting on hold for hours on end).
