Personal computers have become an essential tool in modern life, from work, study to entertainment. However, many users ignore proper maintenance and cleaning of the computer, leading to rapid equipment breakdown and reduced work performance. Maintaining a clean and well-maintained computer not only helps increase the life of the device but also ensures stable performance.
According to Mr. John Mitchell, a technology expert at TechCare equipment maintenance company (USA), regular cleaning and maintenance helps remove dirt and high temperatures. These are two major factors that harm the components inside the computer.
Mr. Mitchell recommends that users should do cleaning at least 3 - 6 months a time depending on the environment of use.
First of all, the steps to clean the computer's outside are quite simple but need attention. Users should use a soft, dry or slightly moist towel to dry the screen, keyboard and case, avoid using strong chemicals that cause scratches or damage the screen coating.
In particular, keyboards and ventilation fans need to be carefully cleaned with small air compressors or gomes to remove accumulated dust.
With cleaning inside the computer, Mr. Mitchell emphasized: "If you are inexperienced, consult an expert or a warranty center to avoid damaging sensitive components."
Dust inside the machine can clog the output fan, causing heating and reducing performance. This cleaning includes removing the hood, using a compressed air bottle to blow away the dust and checking parts such as fans, RAM, and hard drives.
In addition, software maintenance is also very important. Users should regularly update the operating system, virus terminal software and clean up junk files to avoid slow- running or virus attacks.
optimized software helps the computer run smoothly and reduces the load on the hardware, Mr. Mitchell shared.
Other important notes include not placing the computer near the heat source, avoiding strong collisions, using a stable power source and periodically backing up data. These are all habits that help the computer operate more durably and safely in the long run.
Computer maintenance and cleaning is not just a simple task but also a way for users to show care, prolonging the life of the device. Investing time and effort in this will help you avoid many troubles, save repair costs and improve the daily computer experience.
