Rebooting Your PC is Important By Scott Sekinger
Rebooting your PC is a very thing to do, because it solve a lot of computer issues. This article will try to explain why.
Why you need to Reboot
- Cleanup Memory(RAM) – Restarting a PC flushes your PC memory of any data that is no longer needed. When you exit a program memory that the program used should be released. Unfortunately that is not the case. Some programs are poorly written. One perfect example of this Chrome. Chrome has a tenseness of using a lot of memory.
- Slow performance – Sometime a misbehaved program can use to much of the CPU (Computer’s Brain). When this happens the best way and the only way to stop the miss behaving program is to reboot the PC.
- Finish software installation – Sometime a PC needs to be restarted a program to finish installing whether the installation program tells you it requires it or not.
- Finish uninstalling software – Sometime a PC needs to be restarted a program to finish uninstalling whether the installation program tells you it requires it or not.
- Hardware does not work right – A PC restart can sometimes fix hardware from miss behaving by reloading the hardware driver. A driver is piece of software that tells your PC how to control the piece of hardware.
- Cannot write / or open up files – Sometimes you have to reboot because a file is locked by another program or another instance of the program that has not closed properly.
Kinds of Reboots
There are two kinds of PC reboots soft and hard reboots.
- A soft reboot is when you go through the menu to restart the PC.
- A hard restart is when you press the power button until the PC goes off and turn it back on. It not recommended to do a hard reboot unless you have no choose, because it cause damage to the operation system.
