In order for the devices of a personal computer not to fail ahead of time, it must be properly operated and maintained. Taking proper care of your PC will also keep it stable and maintain the performance of this hardware.
Necessary
- - SpeedFan program;
- - napkins;
- - vacuum cleaner;
- - antistatic agent.
Instructions
Step 1
The main reason for personal computer breakdowns is the lack of timely maintenance of internal devices. This is usually due to the presence of large accumulations of dust inside the unit. Be sure to clean all devices at least once a month. Disconnect the computer from the AC power supply and remove the walls of the system unit.
Step 2
Vacuum all internal parts, being careful not to touch important or fragile parts. Remove any remaining dust with a dry cloth. For this, you can use dried "wet" wipes. Be sure to remove all dust from the fan blades. This is best done with cotton swabs. Soak them in an alcohol solution and wipe the coolers thoroughly.
Step 3
Apply an antistatic agent to the fan blades, cooling heatsinks, and casing. This will help prevent dust build-up quickly. In this case, it is better to use a spray. Avoid applying liquid to boards and capacitors.
Step 4
If you have the opportunity, then purchase a protective grid for the system unit. It protects sufficiently well against the penetration of excess particles into the block.
Step 5
Be sure to perform a number of steps to maintain the performance of your computer and extend the life of your computer. Defragment your hard drive 1-2 times a month. Use the built-in function of the Windows operating system to do this. Configure automatic defragmentation to start. Check the system registry periodically for errors.
Step 6
Try not to leave the computer turned on unless necessary. Remember that most devices have a certain resource of work. Monitor the temperature of the equipment. To do this, use the programs Everest or SpeedFan. This will allow you to identify problems in the operation of coolers long before the moment when they lead to damage to the equipment.
