Many people these days are beginning to think of their computers as disposable. When their computer crashes, many times because of heat, they are on the fence about whether to fix it or trash it and buy a new computer. But understanding what makes a computer break before its time, will arm you with the knowledge to add years to the life of your computer. So wouldn't it make more sense to plan for the retirement of your trusty old computer rather than being forced to buy a new one because of an unexpected failure? Simple Things You Can Do To Keep Your Computer Cooler The greatest threat to computers (and electronics in general) is heat. Heat not only lowers the performance of your system, but it can cause electronic components to fail prematurely resulting in hardware failure. With that said, the first thing to check is the ventilation around your computer. Most standard computer desks have an enclosed compartment or cabinet for you to cook your computer in. If you must place your computer in an enclosed space, cut a hole in the back of the cabinet behind the exhaust ports of the computer. You should also ensure that your computer is at least 4 inches from the rear of the cabinet.
