You have an unexpected power surge or spike:

• If you get an unexpected power surge, be sure to wait at least one minute before powering your system back up.
• Ensure you have a good quality surge board protecting your computer
• Shutting your computer down incorrectly

Always ensure you close your programs and computer correctly when not in use:

• Only use the reset button if your computer locks up.
• On many new computers you may need to hold the power button in for at least to 20 to 30 seconds, or until you hear it turning off.
• Make a regular back up of your computer data

Backing up your computer should become a regular task:

• Most computers contain backup software that can be scheduled to start automatically. Additionally, store your backups to a USB stick, USB Hard Drive CD or DVD, or an external drive if you have one.

Before spending money on hardware or software, be sure you know the specifications required and the specifications of your computer:

• It is always best to write down your computer specifications when going out to make the purchase. If you are unsure, check with the shop assistant at any reputable computer dealer.

Incomplete Installs/Uninstalls:
