Here are a few useful little tips that might extend the life your computer.
1. Shut it Down: This may sound simple but many of us just close the lid, turn of the monitor or set it to sleep mode. Completely shutting your computer down will keep it from overheating and leaking memory.
2. Defrag!: Again, another simple "duh" moment. Defrag your computer. Most PCs will even let you set up a regular defrag schedule once a week. Cleaning up your files on a regular basis will also keep your computer functioning at optimal speed.
3. Virus Scan: During your regularly scheduled defrag, go ahead and run a scan for viruses, spy ware, malware, all that bad stuff you can pick on the internet. Find a good program to keep your PC"s health good. (Keep it Clean!)
These might not be the most enlightening tips, but they"ll go along way in keeping your computer chugging along for an extra year or so.
