你的电脑还好吗? 7招延长电脑寿命

1. Keep it Covered and Clean
保持清洁，不用就收起来。

Dust and dirt are your worst nightmare. One of the best ways to keep your computer running over the long term is to keep it clean. Dust and pet hair can gum up the gears and cause issues in functioning. Remember to clean your computer and keep it covered when not in use to prevent dust and dirt from getting into the inner components. Use canned air to remove debris, especially from fans. If fans get clogged with too much dirt, they can slow down and not remove the heat from the computer, causing a melt down much earlier. Clean your screen with screen cleaner, never window cleaner, as the ammonia will dull the screen. Also, don’t eat food or place drinks next to your computer for the same reasons. One accident can have serious consequences.
灰尘污垢是头号劲敌。要想延长电脑寿命，首先必须保持电脑清洁。灰尘和宠物毛发容易堵塞齿轮，造成运行故障。应该经常清理电脑，不用时要收起来，以免灰尘污垢进入内部零件。可以用罐式空气喷雾清理杂质，尤其是风扇位置；风扇积尘太多的话，运行速度就会变慢，进而无法正常散发热量，早晚会造成电脑瘫痪。请用专门的屏幕清洁剂擦拭屏幕，那种窗户清洁剂会使屏幕变花。另外，也别对着电脑吃东西或把饮料放在旁边，否则一旦失手后果不堪设想。

2. Keep it Cool
保持电脑凉爽

Heat also causes many issues. Your CPU and graphics card can get so hot, they can cook. The computer generates heat when it’s running. When you combine that with ambient room temperature, your computer works harder and slows down. Try to put your computer in a clean room that stays cool and out of the sun. Provide proper air flow and don’t place anything in front of the fans on your PC. Again, clean your CPU fans to ensure they run smoothly and move heat out of the computer. You can also add extra fans to your PC or use a cooling stand for your laptop.
热量会引发各种问题，CPU和显卡有时会热得烫手。电脑运行时会散发热量，如果电脑温度高于周围室温，那么电脑运行就变得困难且缓慢。尽量在干净清凉避光的环境下用电脑，保持室内通风，风扇周围不要放置任何东西。再次强调，一定要清理CPU风扇，这样才能保证电脑正常运行和散热。当然，你也可以选择为电脑配置专门的散热器。

3. Keep it Current
保持更新

While those updates may seem like a pain when you’re trying to get work done, they are necessary maintenance for your system. If you have a PC, you will need to do defrag and disk clean up manually (at least once per month). You can set it to run during the night so it doesn’t interfere with your work. Also, if you have a PC, keep your antivirus software updated.
虽然那些时不时冒出来的更新提醒常让人心烦，但却是维护系统的必经程序。如果你用的是笔记本，那应该自己定期清理磁盘文件（至少每月一次）；要是怕影响工作，可以在晚上清理。此外，笔记本电脑一定要保证杀毒软件的更新。
