Thread: Basic Care PC

How many times have we left the PC on without using it for hours? Sometimes it may be necessary because we are downloading files or any other operation that is necessary to wait a while. In principle this fact is not dangerous but when you continuously since greatly increased the number of hours of operation of various PC components. The problem is that many of these components have a limited number of hours of operation.

This problem may be aggravated further depending on the temperature at which it is subjected. If your PC is located in a very hot with no ventilation this will cause more wear on some components such as a decrease in performance and speed of the CPU. By contrast, in a cool place will be able to a greater number of hours of continuous operation.

The importance of this problem depends on the components of our PC. For example, if we break the power we have only to replace it with another, but if we ruin the hard drive, we will have lost all the information contained therein. Clearly, this can affect the most.

What we can do is to use darker backgrounds possible so long as the programs that we use allow us to. We may also use dark wallpapers. It is desirable to set options screen saver mode for energy savings when we leave the monitor on without using it it goes past few minutes.

The use of the monitor filter is good for our eyes because it reduces the level of light coming and brightness. The problem is that we usually have to increase the brightness to get a good picture. We must therefore choose the filter that removed less light and thus need not be unduly raise the brightness.
