The teams are very similar to people who have a finite life and like us, there are a number of ailments that may cause digital existence of a team to stop. Most of these problems stem from careless handling, neglect, unhealthy environments and old age, leaving the longevity of the average of the system not more than ten years.
However, poorly trained users, maintenance and careless handling can shorten equipment life only as a careless lifestyle can be cut to shorten our. Here is a list of the ten most common causes of catastrophic equipment failure.
10 Mistakes - not shut down properly to avoid analyzing disks, a serious user can damage the hardware of a computer, especially processors not following the correct orientation in the use of their equipment and units.
9. Defective manufacture - ago years there were only a handful of manufacturers of PCs, now seems that there is an almost infinite manufacturers and assemblers number, some have vast experience and resources, others are not more than two guys in a garage, which is why it is not surprising that an increasing number of computer systems is faulty when bought new.
8. Bad updates. It is not only own teams who are victims of bad work, upgrades for installers of inexperienced team can cause terrible problems and defective accessories such as RAM can instantly kill a processor. Also try to 'overclock' a processor often can lead to a fatal fusion.
7 USB Device mishaps. It seems that everything can be plugged a USB these days. However, perhaps that the USB device is not suitable for the operating system used or may be corrupt leads to a fatal short circuit.
6 Power increase/court. Tension rises or unexpected power outages can not only cause instant loss of data but you can also fry a processor making it useless. It isn't only power in the grid that causes problems, Ray can increase through cables (telephone cables even) frazzling system and static accumulation can cause similar results.
5 Dust. A dusty environment obstruct a computer and block the cooling vents causing a computer to overheat. Dust can also contain conductive material and particles may stick to the circuit boards and cause a short circuit. Computers even if they are not properly cleaned can succumb to problems caused by too much dust.
4 Water and liquids. Of course teams are electric and all electrical equipment, equipment and water do not mix, only a spilled cup of coffee could see the end of your PC.
3 Heat. Processors can run exceptionally hot and if a refrigeration system equipment is insufficient (because the computer has been updated, overclocked or simply stuck with dust and dirt) will only be a matter of time before the packages for good.
2 Cold. As well as teams do not enjoy with heat, cold too well. Processors will not work at all if the temperature is too cold and processors can permanently freeze if the temperature drops too.
1 Hits and hits. Computers are machines sensitive, simply moving a PC to another room can wreak havoc, disrupt the delicate circuit and hard disk drives. Place a team or severe blows and bangs permanently damaged circuits and processors or evict the wiring.
Of course, there are measures that can be taken to protect a computer as always ensure any team has been mounted correctly and all updates are handled carefully by a fully trained professional. Make sure that a source of decent food with overvoltage is equipped also is important (many computer experts can tell you that a power supply is the most important component in a PC, and I can not argue with that) and that peripherals are checked to be working correctly before connecting (ask to see them working in the shop) and will run correctly on your operating system.
Finally there is a low-cost ways to add additional protection to a PC, in the form of a Cabinet of computer, particularly useful if your PC has to operate in a wet environment, under temperatures different and prone to bumps and bangs.
These industrial equipment cabinets are relatively low cost and can accommodate virtually any computer, monitor or a printer. Often they contain air conditioning and heaters to control the temperature and it can protect from severe blows and bangs (some even claim to be bomb-proof). These cabinets also prevent dust and fluids enter (some can even be screwed in industrial environments without fear of damage) and allows a conventional PC be used in the most hostile environments of ovens, freezers, dusty shop floors and even explosive environments.
