I use my computer alot, maybe 5 or 6 hours a day, sometimes more, and I was told to defrag once every two weeks. It seems like it is doing a good job, I hardly ever have any problems. I defrag in safe mode, it works much faster using the safe mode..good luck..

Whenever you feel your disk is being overloaded, delete non required data and Defragment the drive.
Defragmenting hard drive once in a couple of months would be good for your computer system.

defraging your computer,is like organizing a room with a bunch of **** in it.no easier way to say it,how often you should you should do it,is probably based off how much you use your computer,usually people who use there computer alot,find themselves doing it every week or so,if you just use it every once in a while probably a month will do good,it just depends.and whoever posted saying a computer expert saying it was not necessary to defrag,im laughing realy hard right now.

You analyze the drive first. Then read the report. If the drive is more than 10% fragmented, you will be prompted to defragment. Then you do it.

At the workplace I defrag the computers once a week. At home, once a fortnight.

Fragmentation on a HDD occurs when you delete fiels and append new data to old files and the files are no longer written in contitious blocks of data. If you do not add / delete info then not often. check it every month or 2 and if prompted do it.
If your PC is mostly used for internet it will be better to clean your cache

You can defarg atleast once a month. but it depends on your usage. I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.

As for me, once or twice a month, depends. But I think once a month is the best. Hope that can help you. =)
