Here’s a little secret: Computers aren't free, or even
inexpensive. Getting the maximum lifespan from your computer is a great way to
avoid an unnecessary expense. Like most other devices there are many simple things
you can do to lessen the likelihood of your computer failing prematurely.
1. Don’t turn your computer on and off
unnecessarily. Some people
feel the need to power down several times a day. You don’t have to go weeks
without turning off your computer, but frequent heating and cooling cycles can
shorten component life. The key here is balance. Don’t restart too much
and don’t leave on too long either. I turn my off every other day or so
the computer can load updates and fix file errors correctly.
2. Blow out the fan vents regularly. A lot of air moves through those
vents, and dust tends to build up over time. Keep the internal components cool
is imperative to extending the life of your computer. Ideally, the dust shouldn't be blown back into the computer. Taking it apart is the best method.
If you’re not comfortable doing this, seek out a qualified computer repair
specialist.
3. Use laptops on a hard service. Using your computer on a firm surface
will keep the air vents unobstructed. Using a laptop on your lap or on a pillow
would be a poor choice. Your lap generates heat and is soft. A pillow is soft
and highly insulate. A firm table, out of the sun, is the best bet.
4. Use a surge protector. Many CPU problems can be possibly avoided
with the use of an inexpensive surge protector. Unplugging during a storm or
power outage is the best practice, but if that’s not possible, a surge
protector can help.
5. Get a regular tune up. Taking your computer into a
qualified computer repair specialist is a great way to increase the longevity
of your computer. They have the specialized software tools and experience to
find potential problems quickly and easily. You probably take your car in for a
tune-up on a regular basis. Your computer would be well-served by the same.
6. Avoid eating and drinking while
using your computer. Getting
food or water down into your system can create all kinds of potential problems.
Water and electronics never mix well. At the very least, blow out your keyboard
with a can of compressed air regularly.
7. Use in a cool environment. Computer components hate heat. If
possible, use your computer in a cool place. A 95-degree summer day isn't the
time to be using your laptop outdoors. The cooler, the better.
8. Use a good anti-malware program and
keep it updated. Malware can
cause all types of problems. With a quality anti-malware program, you’ll be
able to keep a lot of potential issues at bay. Staying updated is important.
There are thousands of malware programs released each day.
With a few simple actions, you can be assured of getting the
maximum amount of utility from it before needing a replacement.
