So many people are ruining their computer with bad habits and such. What do you see people doing wrong? |
|
I see a lot of people with dirty dust filled computers, that overheat and are slow as *#$&! Heat destroys hardware!! Keep your computer clean and cool! |
|
not having an antivirus or clicking on anything appealing on a browser |
|
The absolute quickest way to ruin a computer is to do something that destroys the hardware, such as dropping or driving over it or dunking it in a pool of water. Obviously, you can ruin a computer before you even unbox it, if you do enough damage to it in this way. |
|
Not having good ventilation for the fans / vents on your computer. You'll overhear your computer and burn out your cpu / gpu |
|
People Tweaking the registry, download bad programs/bad websites. |

Let my uncle Martin (I call him uncle out of respect, but we're not related) borrow it. Guaranteed to be FOOKERD to the point of Format & Reinstall, and if you're logged on ... means bonus spam & pop ups that you can't un-SEE |
|
give your computer to a girl. nuff said. they will download anything. |
|
It seems like I fix a lot of computers with LimeWire... Windows XP is actually enough out of date that you can contract something immediately after reformatting. I make it a point to have an antivirus running BEFORE I attach the network cable to even run Windows Update. |
