Anyway to reduce the number of processes running for an asus g73jh?
8 replies, posted
So I own an asus g73jh and it has a lot of processes running when the computer get's turned on. Since I use this computer for gaming having all my ram eaten up by processes isn't good. Is there anything I can disable or uninstall that would free up a lot of processing power?
hold windows key then press r, type msconfig in the box and press enter, then look at the "Start up" page.
Untick any unwanted startup programs and restart.

If I remember correctly in windows 7 you can safely untick all the startup programs in msconfig as none of them are vital windows programs.
I could be wrong though and I can't really help you further because I don't use windows. Sorry.
Well easiest way is just reinstall the whole thing to get rid of all the asus crap.
This will however also get rid of the few usefull programms on there and might impair the use of media keys.
I personally usually just uncheck everything i dont want in MS config.
Hey I've just been thinking this over and could these really be the issue i'm having? I have a good computer and I get more slowdown in the binding of issac than someone with one that's worse

Also I just defragmented my hard drive but it was at 13% so that's probably not it.
To be fair most of the things on that list barely use any space. If you'd like you could use something like ccleaner to disable the start up of some of those things. Or as pointed out MSconfig, but I find CCleaner better as it has descriptions.
Well if they barely use any space there isn't going to be much of a point to get rid of them isn't there?
