Its not something we like to think about but your computer
will fail, if you keep it long enough.It may be a simple
problem,such as the floppy drive not reading the disk to
a major system crash.
Because computers are run by operators,User Error is
the most common cause of computer malfunction.When
the user is at the computer,he or she may add or delete
certain files.Or he/she may remove or exchange certain
hardware features.
When we look at user error,we must remember that
since we're human,the user error may be easy to solve
by simply asking the last user if he/she installed any
software,re-configured any software or hardware
settings,etc.
A large percentage of computer malfunctions are due
to environmental factors such as power surges caused
by lightning, resulting in overvoltage.
Another cause for failure may be room temperature
being too high or low,as well as dust,dirt,or sunlight.
If you're in business and heavily dependent on your
computers,such fators as room temperature,sunlight
and protection against power surges is of the
utmost importance and simply cannot be overlooked.

access your PC at all.When you turn on the power
switch,NOTHING HAPPENS.

should you need assistance in just how to perform
these procedures:

nothing happens..
