Preventive Maintenance?
Many
of us purchase a computer, power it up and forget about maintaining
it.
Performing
periodic preventive maintenance on you computer will make it last
longer and perform better.
Example
of these tasks includes, external hardware clean up, internal disk
clean up, defragmentation and security updates.
In
this section, we guide you through some
important maintenance tasks.
Why
Preventive Maintenance ?
Proper
maintenance can prevent many computer problems. A regular or
schedule maintenance help you save time, money, productivity and
secures data from exposure to hackers and viruses from internet
uses.
How
to do it?
Keep
It Clean
: Majority hardware related problems are from corrosive, magnetism,
heat and dust. Make sure your monitor and computer are adequately
vented and not clogged or block by dust. A small hand vacuum is
great for cleaning dust. Always keep your computer clean to prevent
excessive heat buildup that can cause damage to your computer.
Consistent
Power
: Inadequate power can harm your data and your operating system.
Plug your computer to a surge protector or UPS(Uninterrupted Power
Supply) to ensure a steady stream of power during blackouts.
Anti
Virus
: If you are not secure with anti virus protection, you may become
the victim of identity theft while surfing internet or encounter
operating systems damage. Having running an anti virus protection
only might not be sufficient, you must also make sure to preset the
program to install latest virus definition updates consistently and
schedule periodic systems scan.
Delete
Temporary Files
: Temporary files are created on your PC when you browse internet,
install programs and even by the operating system itself. Deleting
temporary files from your computer can smooth and speed up your PC.
Defragmentation
: Defragmentation is a process that reduces the amount of
fragmentation in file systems. It does this by rearranging the
fragments and restoring them into fewer fragments or into the whole
file. Some software or application problem arises from fragmentation
and also by virus. Periodically defragmentation can reduces data
access time and allows storage to be used more efficiently.
Windows
Updates
: if you are using Windows, preset your PC to download and install
“Windows Updates” automatically. Windows updates include patches
for bugs and security related issues. These patches can reduce many
unknown computer problems.
The
purpose of maintenance is to monitor the health of your computer and
keep it in shape and long lasting. Without a proper maintenance, the
productivity of a computer can greatly reduce by 30-45 percent.
