Preventative
Maintenance
Overview:
The name preventive
maintenance, often
abbreviated PM, refers to performing proactive
maintenance in order to prevent future system problems. This is contrasted
to diagnostic or corrective maintenance, which is performed to correct an already-existing
problem.
Importance:
Preventive maintenance is the single most ignored aspect of computer ownership. Most
people seem to think that computers don't need preventive maintenance. They just use it
until it breaks, then repair or replace it. These people generally find themselves
repairing or replacing much sooner than those that take definite steps to avoid
difficulties in the first place.
Here are some reasons why you should develop a preventive maintenance plan for your PC:
- Preventive Maintenance Saves Money: Avoiding problems with your PC will save
you money in the long run, compared with laying out cash for new components or repair
jobs.
- Preventive Maintenance Saves Time: Saves time? How can taking 1 day a year to
perform maintenance save time? Simple: because it saves you the much bigger hassles of
dealing with system failures and data loss. Most preventive maintenance procedures are
quite simple compared to troubleshooting and repair procedures. (fixing)
- Preventive Maintenance Helps Safeguard Your Data: For most people, the data on
their hard drive is more important than the computer that holds it. Taking steps to
protect this data therefore makes sense and that is what PM is all about.
- Preventive Maintenance Improves Performance: There are parts in your computer
that will actually degrade in performance over time. Preventive maintenance will help to
improve the life and speed of your system in these respects.
