Generally, people ignore performing preventive
maintenance tasks on their PCs. Maintenance
is sometimes taken very lightly and as a result,
the components wear out sooner than expected.
Overlooking maintenance, leads to frequent
PC related problems.
Preventive
maintenance provides the following benefits:
Saves Money:
Handling the problem areas in a
PC before actually facing a problem, substancially reduces
the possibility of a sudden breakdown and the associated expenditure.
Saves Time:
Troubleshooting the components and their
repair procedures take more time as compared
to preventive maintenance procedures.
Performing preventive maintenance procedures,
reduces the possibility of system failures
and data loss
Improves Performance:
With the passage of time, some components
of a PC such as mouse and keyboard degrade
in performance. Preventive maintenance
helps in improving the performance and
life of these components
Safeguards Data:
Preventive maintenance procedures can
be used to protect hardware devices such
as hard disk drives and as a result, to
safe guard the software(s) and the user
data stored on these drives
