Turning Your Pc On And Off

PC users who have a problem machine, especially a system that hangs, often tend to just turn the PC on and off to make it work. This is simply DISASTROUS and will only cause the system to deteriorate rapidly. When you turn the power off always wait for at least a minute before turning it on again. This allows the hard disk to settle down before it is made to spin up again. Otherwise the hard disk goes through jerks and you are reducing its life and performance efficiency significantly. Also, do not forget the `Reset' button on your PC. It is better to use this than to turn the PC--and therefore the power--on and off.
