Over time computers can become really frustrating as they slowly begin to
misbehave, run slowly, crash, or sometimes completely stop working altogether!
It seems inevitable but needn't be..
With regular maintenance you can avoid the frustrations of slow running or
unstable computers which cost so much lost time and stress.
Computers do need regular maintenance, and this maintenance is on two levels;
hardware and software.
Hardware
Regular hardware servicing is quite straightforward and should really be
performed around once per year on hardworking business computers, or more often
in environments which are dustier or where the computer is switched on for
extended periods of time or even continually on. An annual hardware service is
generally very simple and involved the following:
- Memory (RAM) amount, utilization and page-files.
- Hard disk space, errors and fragmentation.
- Physical check of all the internal connections.
- Cleaning and vacuuming inside and out.
- Decongestion and cleaning of internal fans and heat-sinks.
- Dismantling and lubricating any fans that are noisy or running slowly.
- Cleaning laser lenses on CD drives.
- Visual internal inspection to check for obvious problems.
- Safety check on mains cables
Software
Software Maintenance is a more ongoing form of servicing which involves
maintaining the general “health” of the computer. Many things affect the
performance or health of the computer. The following list is the covers the
important ones, but is by no means an exhaustive list:
- Operating system version and service pack level.
- Faulty or unnecessary background software processes.
- Badware - Viruses, Spyware, Adware and Malware.
- Bloatware (Installed applications never used).
- Unused system services.
