How to do PC Preventive Maintenance.

Cleaning your computer hardware. 
  • Clean the case: Wipe the case and clear its ventilation ports of any obstructions. 

  • Maintain the mechanical mouse: When a non-optical mouse gets dirty, the pointer moves erratically. Unscrew the ring on the bottom of the unit and remove the ball.

  • Keep a neat keyboard: Used canned air or brush to remove dust and particles.

  • Make the monitor clean and shine: Clean the screen with a standard glass cleaner and wipe with a lint-free cloth.



- Downloading the latest driver for your hardware.

  • Example: CD or DVD drive drivers and firmware, Controllers
           -Downloading the latest update for your software.
  • Installing an update fixes the code and prevents the problems from happening on your computer. Because updates fix problems with a program, they are almost always free and available through the program or the companies website.
           - Downloading anti-virus protection updates on your computer.
  • If a virus infected a computer without an antivirus program, it may delete files, prevent access to files, send spam, spy on you, or perform other malicious actions.
       - Deleting unused programs or other files on your computer.


      -If you don't turn off your computer it may    be good to reboot your computer every few     months, unless the computer is a critical computer such as a computer server.
