How to Easily Speed Up Your Laptop Using Windows 7 ReadyBoost

Most of the problem among laptop owners is when their gadget seems to work slowly. In effect to this, your work will be interrupted due to these problems. Thus, people (especially those working ones) got no choice but to buy a new one rather than spending lots of money for repair. However, there are many options and alternatives that are very effective except of buying a new one. One of this is using your flash drive (USB) to speed up the performance of your laptop. 

Honestly, I had encountered this problem also with my NEO laptop. I got a problem with its low performance. But, as I was searching for a remedy of this, I found out that a USB would help. So, when you are having the same problem with me, I tell you, no need to buy a new one, just a right USB and then it’ll be OK.

  • The very first thing you need to do is to find or buy a flash drive of at least with the same memory capacity of your RAM cards or not more than twice its gigabyte capacity. In my case, my laptop has a 2 GB RAM so I bought a 2 GB USB. But remember and make sure that the USB you purchase is a ready boost capable because not all USB are good. I use Kingston. If possible, try it first before buying.
  • Second, plug it into your laptop and then go to “Computer”, right-click the flash drive and then click the “Ready boost” menu.
  • Then, after clicking “Ready Boost”, you can see three options which read:
  1. Do not use this device;
  2. Dedicate this device to ready boost; and
  3. Use this device.
Choose and click the second option – “Dedicate this device to ready boost”. Then click APPLY.


That’s it! Your laptop’s performance will become better in terms of processing and memory reserve. But take note that when you dedicate your device to ready boost, it’ll become red when you look it at My Computer. Don’t be worried because this is just normal.

NOTE: ReadyBoost is not equal to a RAM and graphics card upgrade.

How to fix Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Cooler Noise

My six-core rig is now running but I have problems with the AMD stock cooler. It seems that my motherboard’s (Gigabyte GA 890GPA-UD3H) CPU fan control push the fans speed to higher limits that it starts to make noise when the computer runs for a longer time or when it starts. I have already used the Easy Tune 6 utility from Gigabyte and though I controlled the speed of the fans, it will still run up to 6000 rpm when the computer boots. Therefore, I decided to find a quieter CPU cooler. I ran to the computer shop and the only CPU cooler that they have is the Antec Kuhler H2O 620. I was only thinking of an air cooler but the time I saw the box, I was indulge to it. Liquid cooling system is not really my first choice because it is more expensive. However, we the alarming noise I am experiencing on my new six-core PC, I have no reason not to buy it. I admit the installation manual and even the forums I read on the internet were a little bit confusing, but I still managed to instal...

How to fix notebook hard disk error (Neo Basic B3233)

Yesterday, my NEO Basic B3233 notebook crashed down and it would not boot anymore. My first diagnosis is overheating or it is just the brownout, which causes some electrical surges on the computer. I rested it for a while but when I boot it again, it says DISK ERROR. I would like to explore more on the causes of the error but I guess I do not have enough time for it. So, I'd better be starting my fix ASAP. Since it is a Hard Disk error, the problem is of course the hard disk and not the hardware, because it is not too old. My guess is the system inside it. Windows 7 might encounter an error that it is in tack anymore. Therefore, my best fix would be reformatting the hard disk and have a clean OS installation. I cannot use Windows 7 hard disk repair or error checking this time because it will not boot. The computer is useless this time so I need to remove the hard disk. How to remove a notebook hard drive? It is usually found under your notebook and it has screws ...

How To Install Steam OS Without UEFI motherboard

I will teach you how to install Steam OS into your motherboard that does not have UEFI bios. The default Steam OS installation requires UEFI bios or it will not work. I did some Googling and found a way to bypass that and everything works perfectly afterwards. It is just slightly more difficult but do not worry. For those who do not know what steam OS is, it is an operating system created by Valve. It is a Linux with Debian Weezy on top and can run Linux programs if you want to.
