Here I will explain about how to care for both maintenance of computer from software, as well as maintenance from hardware that is often to forget. The following tips:
1. Defrag your hard drive regularly.
Disk Defragmenter works to organize and sort your hard drive files on the basis of its kind in such a way that will facilitate the read / write which causes the workload will be lighter which can ultimately extend the life of the hard drive. To perform the Disk Defragmenter on your computer,
click the Start menu> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Disk Defragmenter. When running this function there must no other programs running in the computer including screensaver, because it would disrupt the function of this defrag.
2. activate screensaver
In addition to the aesthetic nature, screensavers have other important functions. A computer with CRT monitors and a televisions use a phosphor to display images. If the monitor displays the same image for a while then there is the phosphorus that burns continuously. This can be problematic in monitor computer the picture becomes dim / less clear. Another case if your monitor is LCD, the LED is already equipped with energy saving, the screen saver is not needed anymore.
How to activate the screensaver in your computer can be done in many ways, one click Start> Control Panel> Display> click the screensaver tab, then select your liking.
3. Adequate ventilation
Place the monitor and the CPU in such a way that the ventilation air to and from the computer monitor or CPU can pacing smoothly. Lacking good ventilation will cause excessive heat so that the components or electronic circuit in computer will be a fast heat so it can shorten the life of the component. Therefore, try to distance between the monitor / CPU with wall / wall of at least 30 cm. If necessary, install a fan in the room.
4. Use UPS or stavolt.
Use a UPS for power failure to anticipate the sudden power failure that can cause damage to the hard drive. If you have no UPS, use Stavolt to anticipate the ups and downs of electric voltage.
5. Close programs that are not useful
Each program which is loaded or run requires memory (RAM), so that more programs that run, the more memory consumed. This is in addition can cause the computer to run slowly also becoming heavier workload which can ultimately shorten the life of the component / computer.
6. Install anti-virus program and update regularly
To be able to recognize a virus or new trojan, you should update your antivirus program regularly. The virus who already spreading on the computer can make you re-install the computer. This is in addition to costs, also will cause your hard drive will be more easily damaged than if it is not often re-installed.
7. Clean the Computer Recycle Bin on a regular basis
Actually the files / folders that we deleted from the hard drive does not disappear, because it will be accommodated first in the Recycle Bin. This with the intention for a moment if you still need to restore it again. Recycle Bin that has a lot of content will also be confiscated hard drive space can cause the reading of the hard drive so slow.
To erase them in your computer run Windows Explorer> click on the Recycle Bin> click File> click Empty Recyle Bin Or you can run the Disk Cleanup function by Click Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Disk Cleanup> and then select the drive you want cleaned up> after that Tick the Recycle Bin option if necessary, also check the other (such as temporary files, temporary internet files), then click OK.
8.Do not place Active Speacker too close to the monitor
Because the magnetic field on the speakers will affect the monitor, which is the color of the monitors becomes uneven or mottled.
9. Uninstall or remove programs which are not useful
Disk space who consumed too much will slow down the read or write drive so that the workload will be more severe so that the disk will be easily damaged.
10. Clean the motherboard and other peripherals from the dust on a regular basis
At least six months this should be done. Open the casing first and then clean the motherboard and other peripherals (RAM, Video Card, Modem, Sound Card, CDR / CDRW / DVRW, TV tuner) with a soft brush. At the time the computer is not used close the computer (monitor, CPU, keyboard and mouse) with a cover so that dust does not easily fit into a computer.
11. Connect the ground wires
If the casing shocks, take a cable with a length as needed, the tip of an entity associated with the CPU (the casing) while the other end planted in the soil. This will be to neutralize the electric current which should not flow to the outside (the casing) so that it can make more durable electronic components.
I hope this tips can help you in caring for your computer.
