Many people these days are starting to think of their computers as disposable. If your machine crashes, often because of the heat, are on the fence whether to fix it or drop it and buy a new computer. But understanding what makes a computer break before his time, will be with the knowledge of years of arm to add the life of your computer. So it is unreasonable to plan for the withdrawal of your trusty old computer, instead of being forced to buy a new one, becausean unexpected error?
Simple things you can do to keep your computer cool
The biggest threat to the computer (and electronics in general) is the heat. The heat not only reduces system performance, but can lead to electronic components prematurely after a hardware failure. That said, the first thing is to check the ventilation around the computer. Most standard computer desks have a closed room or closet for you on your computer if you cookThe computer must be enclosed in a space rather than cut a hole in the back of the cabinet behind the exhaust ports of the computer. You should also ensure that your computer is at least 4 inches from the rear of the chassis.
If you have an old CRT monitor, make sure you are not groped for a shelf above, the ventilation holes at the top of the monitor case could block its use. A problem with the warmth of a CRT monitor can cause change in color, flicker, and even a total failure over time.Even an LCD monitor is equipped with ventilation holes are not blocked, or that it should be. The next thing you can do, is almost always overlooked, and this is to remove dust from inside the computer. I recommend cleaning the inside of your desktop twice a year. Regarding the monitor, especially if it is a CRT model, I absolutely do not recommend that you try to open it. CRT high-voltage lines in the interior and should be a qualifiedTech.
While the dust may seem like a clean surface a few questions, can contribute to problems by acting as a heat blanket. Not only that, but something corrosive or dust could also bring electricity, which can cause short circuits. When the dust settles enough on the CPU heatsink, the airflow through the cooling fins of dust that is produced is necessary to remove the enormous heat from the CPU will be limited. And if too much dust accumulates on fan blades CPU, weightdust can disrupt the leaves and cause premature failure of the fan itself ... This is true for any fan
The easiest way inside your system clean is to use a vacuum cleaner hose (vacuum anti-static, if you have one). I also use a brush to put down the dust and ends with a canister of compressed air. Note: Always turn off and unplug your computer before you clean the inside. Although I do not know what ESD, at least touch a door handle and then ametal outside the computer case before touching anything inside the computer. This will help to alleviate static electricity in the body.
I also recommend cleaning the fan and blades when they are available. I go in with Q-tips, although it is difficult to clean, the power supply fan, if you disassemble, and I would not recommend if you are qualified to service electrical parts. Disclaimer: The condenser supply shocks couldeven if the device is switched off and unplugged, if you have not paid properly.
As you open the computer and especially if you never had it upgraded with a second hard drive or an add-on graphics card to ensure that these parts have been installed with adequate separation from other adjacent parts. I recently repaired a computer that someone has a side add-on video and USB card installed on the side. They were so close that the fan is stuck on graphics cardthe USB adapter, which caused the fan motor to burn prematurely.
Although not a heat problem, you might also canned air to clean the keyboard. Vacuum first, then blow her and the air in a can. I suggest you get a keyboard cover skin to protect it from liquids and small debris such as paper clips.
While most people would agree that keeping your computer clean and cool sounds like common sense, isneglected until their computer fails and you end up paying a computer technician to repair for you as part of one of the first, but avoidable. I hope to take some steps just to glance at his computer and a few simple steps to a computer cleaner, fresher and more reliable.
