When computers are on, they generate heat. Heat is dealt with by a series of fans and heatsyncs, responsible for dissipating the heat away from the components and keeping your PC cool and healthy. When heat issues strike, you may see BLUE WARNING SCREENS, your computer might behave oddly, or even turn itself off altogether! |

What is a hard drive? - The physical storage area within your computer, responsible for holding your documents, pictures, music and other files. Hard Drive's are very often the first thing to go on any computer. They have actual moving parts and therefore are much more sensitive and prone to faults/ issues. |

Backup rule of thumb - 2 or more copies of your data stored at seperate locations. Saving a copy to an external hard drive does NOT mean it is backed up, unless you have another copy somewhere else, be it on a USB, PC or Cloud storage. Cloud storage is definitely the way of the future, this simply means storing your files online. |
