Taking care of our PC is vital to their useful life You have to have all the points , let's start.
As we all know, the " computer science " ( computer system ) is divided into a physical subsystem called hardware (mouse, keyboard, screen ...), and another logical subsystem called software (Windows 10, editing programs, games ...), which is the part that is not seen and that makes it possible to interact with the hardware part.
What recommendations should we follow for hardware computer maintenance?
The main enemy is the dust that accumulates inside a tower or within the laptops (especially in the fan part). We must simply open the left part of the computer (in laptops it is different) to see if we have these blissful particles. Once open we observe its interior.
The most important parts and that we must observe are: the dissipator (which is the fan that is anchored to the motherboard and refrigerates the CPU) and the power supply (which is where the power supply cable is connected). One of the main reasons that a computer does not start, is because of the great accumulation of dust in it and gives overheating, although it may also be because there has been a tension peak. Therefore, the most appropriate method for dusting is compressed air or a hair dryer (with cold air). Many of you sure have thought of a vacuum cleaner, but this not highly recommended since when passing it, the dissipators connected to the motherboard could be folded, leaving your computer unusable. IMPORTANT : To eliminate dust in the dissipator don't have to extract it , unless you are an expert.
Another fundamental part is the hard drive , which is the part where we are going to have all our information and that of the system, in the form of 0's and 1's.
The dust is not the main problem of the hard drive, but the high temperatures, rises of voltages, falls or accidental blows, being in a humid environment and time. Yes, time , since hard drives, with the time of use are decreasing their performance. solid or SSD hard drives is marked by the number of times it has been read or written in it, measured on TBW (number of terabytes that can be written before presenting errors), although there are also many web pages where the measurement is made in cycles p/e (cycle in which the data is written and deleted to be rewritten) or MTBF (hours that pass before there are errors). The solution to keep your data safe, depends on the problem you have. If your hard drive has stopped working the solution would be to change the motherboard by one that is the same model as the old man, but if you hear any noise inside , it could be a symptom that the heads are broken because of some blow or fall. On the other hand, if it is because of time you will have to make a backup and pass the data to the new as soon as possible, since you could run out of them.
Recommendations for software computer maintenance
We have talked about the three main components for computer maintenance at hardware level and now we have to talk about the software .
The objective of every worker in computer systems of a company is that workers carry out their activity safely and quickly, so it is important to have all your updated programs and operating systems . Normally the most used operating system is Windows and therefore the objective of every computer pirate.
To update your Windows 10 operating system, select the Start and Click button on configuration > Update and Safety > Windows Update
ZDNET explains , is the vulnerability found in Windows that they have found in the Windows print tail and that has been discovered 24 years later, vulnerability has been named as Printdemon . The problem lies in the print tail, since it was available for any program whether or not it is administrator, leaving the hacker with the possibility of executing malicious code and getting the power of your computer.
Another software maintenance that should be performed is to update the most used applications . An example of this, in these months of pandemia is the vulnerability found in Zoom , since the Crackers have exploited a vulnerability that allowed them to execute commands remotely in Windows 7 and previous versions. Zoom immediately .
