Help Prevent Computer Crashes

 We've come to accept it as a fact of modern life: a computer can Crash. PCs crash for a variety of reasons.

 Hard disk problems can cause your computer to crash or freeze.  This can occur when your disk gets filled up with unwanted programs, temporary files, obsolete system files and other such data.  To help prevent this you should use Disk Cleanup, regularly to clean up all unwanted junk files. Programs, such as Ccleaner will accomplish this in minutes.

 Upgrade your operating system as new releases and patches become available. Old software or newly released software will crash and burn more often, so watch for updates

Malicious infections such as virus, Trojan, worms, Spyware and Adware can get into your system through different sources and cause computer crashes.. To prevent these infections, it is essential that you have anti-Malware tools, such as Antivirus and anti-Spyware on your computer It is also important that you run regular full system scans to ensure that no malicious data exists on the computer, Update your virus protection software on a regular basis. Set your antivirus programs to automatically update to prevent infiltration by any new viruses.

 If you own a Desktop Computer and have it in a cabinet or on the floor you should periodically dust the back of the machine. The fan should especially be dust fee in that it keeps the system cool. Computers and electronics in general don't like heat. Dust blocks fans, which generally cool you CPU, video card and motherboard components. Dust also blocks fans and their airflow into and out of your case. Cool air needs to be brought into a case, and then the host air dispelled. If the airways are blocked, system temperature can rise quickly and cause problems with the system.

If crashes continue to occur, your computer may have problems that require more than a do-it-yourself diagnosis and repair.  At that point you may consider calling in an Expert.
