c Do not store too much data in your hard disk. Always give little space to the hard disk so
that it is not too congested. At least reserving approximately 20 MB. If you use Windows
operating system, it will usually show a warning if your hard disk is too full.

c Uninstall all the unnecessary programs in order not to burden the hard disk.
c Use a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). The point to use the UPS is if we are using the

computer and suddenly the power goes out, the computer will not get turned off
directly. So we can save our work and then shut down the computer. If the computer
turns OFF suddenly without shutdown, it will make the hard disk corrupted and the data
will be lost.
c Do not put the CPU in a crowded place because it will not allow air to get out so the hard
disk will become hot faster. So, better choose the CPU that has many fans and place
them a nice ventilated area.
