Introduction
Importance of Preventive Maintenance |
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
