Here are 7 popular habits that can significantly shorten the life of a computer:
1. Don't turn off the phone often
Some users have the habit of letting the device work continuously for many days. This causes the hardware, especially the hard drive and the grinder, to work overloaded.
2. Place a laptop on a bed or knee
placing the computer on a soft surface can easily clog the air vents, causing temperatures to increase. The heat is a silent enemy that reduces the life of the processor, GPU and battery.
3. Eat and drink near a computer
The cake cut, water or oil can get into the keyboard, bucket or fan. Many computer failures originated from just... a cup of coffee hitting the keyboard.
4. Not cleaning regularly
Dust accumulated inside the machine weakly operates the fan, leading to overheating. Users should clean their devices periodically every 3-6 months, especially laptops.
5. Charging and using continuously
Using a computer while charging for a long time heats up the battery and reduces battery life. Over time, the battery will be bottled faster and will lose the ability to fully charge.
6. Plug charging through poor quality outlets
- loose plugs, cheap power lines or no lightning can easily cause electrical short circuit, electric shock, especially dangerous for laptops and expensive components such as mainboards.
7. Arbitrarily upgrading or installing software of unknown origin
Self- wonsailing, installing Hacked or crack software can lead to software conflicts, malware, or even damage to the hardware.
