foreword

Computer has become one of the indispensable tools in modern life, we use it for study, work, entertainment and so on every day. However, in the process of using the computer for a long time, various problems will appear in the system, such as freezes, viruses, blue screens, etc. These problems will not only affect our user experience, but also affect the life of the computer. Therefore, for us, daily computer maintenance is very important. This article will share some computer maintenance tips to help you better protect your computer and prolong the service life of your computer.

my computer

I will talk about my computer from two aspects. When I first went to college, I didn’t know much about computer knowledge. After getting in touch with big data, the computer configuration can't keep up and needs to be replaced. Let me talk about it separately here.

1. University period

When I first entered college, I didn’t know how to choose a computer. Generally speaking, it was the brand and after-sales service.

I chose the brand of computer mainly considering the brand's popularity and cost-effectiveness, so I chose the Lenovo (Lenovo) brand. As a leading computer brand in China, Lenovo's products are very cost-effective and can provide stable performance and reasonable prices. Since my major requires frequent use of programming software and large-scale design software, I chose a Lenovo laptop with a higher configuration, which includes an AMD processor, 8GB memory, and a 1TB hard drive, which can meet my needs and provide a smooth user experience. In addition to performance, the design of Lenovo computers is relatively simple and practical, which is in line with my usage habits, and the after-sales service provided by Lenovo is relatively complete. To sum up, I choose Lenovo computer based on its brand awareness, cost performance and high-performance configuration and other considerations.

2. After work

After work, I know a little bit, and I can also ask my friends for their opinions. The best choice is MAC. But one is that I am poor, and I can't bear to spend so much money. The second is that I still want to support my own country's brand and some other reasons.

1. Assemble your own computer at home

As a programmer, I want my computer to be able to run large programming software quickly and be able to multitask, so I chose to build my own computer. There are not many restrictions on the brand I choose, because for the computer I assemble, I can choose the most suitable hardware configuration according to my needs.

My computer configuration includes Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB memory, 1TB solid state drive and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 discrete graphics card, these configurations are enough to meet my various needs in programming work, and can support me to play games or other activities in my spare time entertainment. In addition, I also purchased high-quality motherboards, power supplies, radiators and cases to ensure the stability and safety of the entire computer system.

My self-organizing computer has other advantages, such as its high flexibility, strong upgradeability and relatively low price. Since I assemble it myself, I can also debug and maintain the computer, which speeds up problem resolution and reduces unnecessary downtime.

To sum up, I choose to assemble my own computer because it can customize the most suitable hardware configuration according to my actual needs, and it has high flexibility, upgradeability and maintainability. Although it takes some time and effort to assemble it myself, it was a fun and challenging project for me.

2. Computer for work

As a programmer, I choose domestic computers for the following reasons:

First of all, using domestic computers in China can get better after-sales service and technical support, which is very important for my work efficiency and work experience. After all, if the computer breaks down or needs to be upgraded, if the after-sales service and technical support are not in place, it will bring a lot of inconvenience and trouble to my work.

Secondly, domestic computers are relatively cost-effective. Compared with foreign brand computers, domestic computers are usually more affordable, and their configuration and performance are relatively good. In the domestic market, there are many brands of computers for us to choose from, such as Lenovo, Huawei, etc., and their quality has been widely recognized and praised.

Finally, with the support of national policies, the technical level and manufacturing level of the domestic computer industry have been greatly improved, and the current domestic computers are already quite competitive.

When choosing a domestic computer, I pay attention to the brand, configuration and performance of the computer. For example, the Lenovo computer I have chosen has a higher configuration, stable performance and relatively strong performance. Moreover, Lenovo’s after-sales service and technical support are also very good. These are my choices. It's one of the reasons. Of course, everyone's needs and situations are different, and choosing a domestic computer also needs to make a choice according to your actual needs. I have also used laptops from brands such as Huawei, Xiaomi, and Ares. The computer configuration includes an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, and a 1TB solid-state drive.

Daily maintenance measures

The computer is the programmer's most important partner and closest comrade-in-arms. We need to protect it.

Whether using a computer or a mobile device, we need to pay attention to the following aspects to maintain the device and protect our own safety:

1. Install and update antivirus software: Install antivirus software to prevent viruses and malware from infecting your device. Updating antivirus software daily can identify new viruses and malware in a timely manner.

2. Regular cleaning and optimization: Regular cleaning of the hard disk, junk files, temporary files, useless software and data can help improve the speed and performance of the computer.

3. Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication: Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication to reduce the risk of your account being hacked.

4. Regularly back up data: Regularly backing up data can avoid data loss due to software and hardware failures.

5. Reasonable use of software and hardware: Reasonable use of software and hardware can prolong the life of equipment. For example, don't let the device work for a long time, avoid using too much software, etc.

6. Pay attention to network security: Pay attention to network security to avoid malware such as Trojan horses and viruses, and to avoid personal information being stolen and leaked. For example, don't open junk emails at will, don't visit unsafe websites, don't log in to sensitive accounts when using public WiFi, etc.

7. Maintain hardware: Regularly clean hardware peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and monitors, keep them clean, and ensure the normal operation of computer equipment.

All in all, taking care of our equipment and keeping ourselves safe can give us more peace of mind and safety when using our computers and mobile devices.

Helpful Maintenance Tips

Here are some computer maintenance tips that I find useful:

1. Regularly clean up the hardware: Turn on the computer and clean up the hardware, especially the radiator and fan, because dust will affect heat dissipation, reduce computer performance, and even cause problems such as computer crashes and blue screens. The advantage of doing this is that it can ensure better computer use and prolong the life of the computer.

2. Install anti-virus software: Computer viruses, Trojan horses and other malicious software will cause problems such as computer slowdown, crash, blue screen, and even lead to serious consequences such as leakage of personal information. It is very important to regularly check your computer for viruses using antivirus software. The advantage of doing this is that it can ensure computer security.

3.

Add some other suggestions:

1. It is not recommended to use computers for long-term high-intensity work: computers are mechanical equipment, and long-term high-load operation will cause hardware aging and failure. Therefore, you need to pay attention to rest when using the computer, and try to avoid long-term high-intensity work.

2. Do not easily download software from unknown sources: Software from unknown sources may contain malicious programs such as viruses and Trojan horses, which will cause your computer to be attacked or even hacked. Therefore, you must pay attention to the source when downloading software, and try to choose software from authoritative websites.

3. Don't blindly clean up the computer registry: The computer registry is a very important part of the computer system. If you operate it carelessly, it may cause serious problems in the system, or even fail to start. Therefore, before cleaning the registry, you need to make sure that you are very clear about the impact and risks of each operation.

4. Do not easily change the key configuration of the computer system: the key configuration of the computer system is very important, including boot items, services, drivers, etc. If it is changed or deleted at will, it will cause the computer to fail to start normally, resulting in data loss and other problems. Therefore, before changing the system configuration, you need to make a detailed plan and back up important data.

In short, when using a computer, it is necessary to be cautious, pay attention to safety, and maintain it reasonably in order to ensure the normal operation and service life of the computer.
