Zeus!

Ah, yes the wrath of Zeus. Power surges, Lightning Storms, and faulty Power Supplies are by far the number one causes of PC death. When it comes to thunder storms simply turning off your computer during a storm isn’t quite enough. If you think about it, the electric energy has already managed to travel thousands of feet through air. Is a closed, on or off circuit really going to stop it now? The best way to protect yourself, is to make sure your PC and all its components are plugged in a quality surge protector. If a bad surge or thunderstorm comes along, the protector will be the first to go before your PC. For those of you looking for a 100% guarantee, unplug your computer and all its connections from the wall during any kind of thunderstorm.

If in any case you believe that your PC is a victim of an electric attack here are a few hints. First, unplug and re-plug all power connections. Reset your power surge protector if you have one. If this doesn’t work, it’s time to do some investigation.  Carefully unplug all connections to your computer and open up your case. Without touching anything, do any of the circuit boards appear burnt or black? Sniff it out and note any smell of burnt bacon coming from the power supply or main board. If everything appears and smells ok then you may be a victim of something such as bad RAM and you should contact a computer repair company such as Cyber Electronix.

Poor Air Flow / Dust

Have you ever been stuck in a closed room on a hot summer day with absolutely no air flow or A/C ? Well then you know a little about how a computer feels like during operation. Typically a computer processor will run around 135 degrees Fahrenheit and graphics processor at temperatures up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Although computers can run at much higher temperatures, it’s still very important to continually keep them below threshold to prevent overheating and rapid failure. Ideally, apart from heat sinks and fans on the GPU and CPU (Graphics and Central Processing Units), you should at least have two fans: one sucking cool air in from the front and another blowing the hot air out of the case, located in the back. Since hot air rises, the fan blowing out should be located higher in respect to the fan sucking in.

Just like dusting your furniture or other objects around the house, it’s important to remove any dust collected inside the computer case. This is frequently avoided and can cause huge amount of dust collection on fans, heat sinks, and chips. Too much dust suffocates air flow and causes operating temperatures to rise significantly.  Orlando computer repair recommends doing a yearly dust removal using a compressed air can or vacuum cleaner.

Another hint is most computers today will shut off automatically if any of its internal components reaches its threshold temperature. If this happens to you unexpectedly while running a rather intensive program, there’s a good chance your computer is overheating.
