Planning & Performing Computer Maintenance

Maintenance

I have posted a link above which demonstrates the importance of computer routine maintenance. If computer routine maintenance is not carried out on a regular basis, then this is not a good idea. There are many problems which can occur if routine maintenance is not performed correctly or at all. Some of the problems that may occur are:


  • Computer proccessing speed will dramatically decrease.


  • Will take longer to find and load up any documents or other files on the hard disk if defragmentation is not performed.


  • If software such as anti-virus software, or spyware/adware software is not updated then this leaves your computer extremely vulnerable to viruses and this could eventually lead to the shutdown of your computer, and possibly time to get a new computer.

Planning

Planning maintenance is a very effective way to help organise the task at hand. I will give a few examples which are relevent to how important that planning is; one example would be sat nav's, you type in your destination from your home or wherever you may be, the sat nav will plan the best route for your journey. Another example would be gantt charts. These charts are created for the purpose of showing the user intended start and stop dates for computer elements of the project at hand.
