Computers perform more and more tasks in the office and in the workplace than ever before. Computers can perform many tasks more efficiently than human labor, but the more we trust them more vulnerable we are when the machines fail.
Each year, companies have an average of 501 hours of computer downtime, which costs them millions in annual productivity and revenue, and according to a recent study, computer downtime is responsible for loss of 3. 6% of annual revenue. As is almost as good as it lost revenue per employee absenteeism (6 %)!
The average lifespan of an office computer is 3-4 years than a PC’s life can be reduced to a fraction of that amount if the machine will work for less than perfect conditions.
But most causes of a computer can not be prevented by following some simple steps:
first User error – All tools are only as good as the people who use it and computers are no different. Measures that do not close properly, skip scan disks or continuously pressing the button while the computer processes can damage a computer’s hardware, especially hard disks and processors. Always follow the right guidance in using a computer engineer.
second Workmanship, It seems that there is an almost infinite number of manufacturers and assemblers to make computers and while some have extensive experience and resources, others are not more than two guys in a garage so it is not surprising that more and more computer error when they purchased .
third Bad upgrades – it is not just the computers that are victims of the defects, upgrades of inexperienced computer technicians can cause terrible problems. Improper additions such as RAM can kill a processor directly, are also trying to “overclock” or interfere with any processor can often lead to a fatal melt down.
4th USB drive mishaps. It seems everything can be connected to a USB these days. But what is perhaps the USB device is not suited to your operating system or it may be wrong leads to a fatal short circuit.
5th Power problems – surges or unexpected power failure can not only cause immediate loss of data, but can fry a processor. It is not just power from the network that are causing problems – either the flash can be boosted by means of cables (including telephone wires) frazzling your system and can be static.
6th Dirt / dust. A dusty environment will fill a computer, and block cooling vents causes a computer to overheat. Dust can also contain conductive material and particles may stick to the printed circuit boards and cause short circuits. A cloud of dust can explode if it comes into contact with an ignition source (like a computer). While home computers if not properly cleaned can fall for problems caused by too much dust.
7th Water / liquids. Of course computers are electrical and with all electrical equipment, computers and water do not mix, just one spilled cup of coffee could see the end of your computer.
8th Heat. Processors may run exceptionally hot and on a computer cooling system is inadequate (because the machine has been upgraded, overclocked or just clogged with dust and soot) will only be a matter of time before the package up for good.
9th Cold. Just as with heat, enjoys computers do not call for much either. Processors will not work at all if the operating temperature is too cold that condensation inside the machine can freeze and expand and damage the processor electronics.
10th Nature / bangs. Computers are sensitive machines, simply moving one computer to another room can cause havoc, disrupt the delicate circuitry and hard drives. To release a computer or hard bumps and knocks that will permanently damage the circuits and processors or detached wires.
The easiest way to protect a PC in business from uncontrollable dangers of heat, dust and vibration is to use an industrial computer enclosure. These industrial PC enclosures allows a conventional computer to use while housed in a protective cocoon that can be dust, water and even explosive strength.
