Everbody accessing their own personal computers on day to day basis. If any problem arises then only we are opening the computer and made it clean. Why this habbit is not coming in our mind and allot a day for maintenance. Is it happens due to careless or lazyness.Computers gives us to connect to several peoples and share our thoughts daily but why we should not give a day for it.

Since computer is really sentive gadget, you need to have maintenance on this one but not on our own if we are really not knowledgeable of it. You may set for a maintenance day but you really need to get it from a technician so that he will do the job. Sometimes, when trouble comes and you bring it to the repair shop, they will do some cleaning of your computer as part of the service. Good day!

There are really maintenance like waht you said that can be done by the owner of the computer, but when it comes to the cleaning inside the hardware, you really need a technician.

See for everything we need not have the help of technician. By performing scandisk we can increase the life time of the harddisk and making defragmentation all datas are arragned and fetching the data is easy for computer. Everything we want to know only if we had interest. Without interest nothing can be possible. Thanks for reply.. Good day

There is no "maintenance day" for a computer for the same reason that there is no "greasing day" for a car : it is useless to grease a car when it does not need it, and useless to do a maintenance on a computer when there is no need for it. It remembers me a small joke that I made to a coworker years ago with a few lines of assembly code. At boot his computer said : "I will be unavailable for maintenance during the next two hours." He had a doubt and tried to bypass the routine, and the computer said : "Don't insist or I send you a strike notice." There was about 10 phrases like this before continuing the boot process

LOL. You never know how people will react. This one was also a newcomer : he took the computer manuals and read them during half an hour instead of asking around what was happening. Then he went out for a coffee... and I removed my "virus" joke.

If you maintain one day for it and doing defragmentation and disk clean your computer will work fast and you will get benefited you know. I think you are not interested in getting work fast and if any problem occurs won't care about that and call directly to the service person.

Computer maintenance is dependent on the computer user. If you feel that you don’t need to make changes in your computer routine, it is the computer user’s prerogative. It will also be his fault if the said maintenance is not done over any reason or activity. Like many things, maintenance is to a compulsive activity for a computer or computer user. The computer itself can alarm the user of certain alerts or updates but it will always be the user’s prerogative to use or activate them. The computer can only recommend and everything that happens is always because due to the user. Regarding computer users, some of them have a pracitce of maintaining or checking their computers. Others don’t really have a regular time or date but they also do it when they feel they need it. There are also others that only maintain after a computer problem occurs. You can’t force this person to do something on their computer that might hinder their computer or other activities.

idea24 Are we giving maintenance day for our eyes, ears, mouth,nose etc. No. similarly no maintenance day for computers. many of us are not competent to clean the computer professionally. in my experience whenever i attempted cleaning laptop I ended up in a mess due to rough handling. so better carry on with some dust on screen and key board. good day.

Ya we are not giving maintenance day for our eyes,ears,mouth,nose so that they come to sore always.We are refreshing by making alternate things when those are get sored but we are not doing anything for computer. If one day it won't work we are calling for the professional and spending money towards it. At that time we are thinking that amount is too much. So if we make small mainteance or keep one day for that it will act smoothly without giving any trouble to you know.

Maintenance day is needed whenever it down and not when it is running. So no monthly maintenance needed and wasting time for such useless things. Save time keep going with other useful task.

I did not mentioned maintenance day is a full day. A day for maintanance just 1 hour for updating your pc,Scan throughly using virus scanner is enough. Not all people doing these things. Some person do not know about it. All those things you can do it on one day if it is not possible for you doing it regularly.
