Keeping PCs running at their best and extending the life of the equipment require some diligent upkeep. This list of tasks will help you cover your maintenance bases.

When systems are neglected, bad things tend to happen: Performance degrades, reliability suffers, hardware fails, and functionality is compromised. Hit-or-miss maintenance, especially for a shop full of mission-critical equipment, is just not good enough. It's essential to follow a regimen that enables you to preempt problems and make sure your systems stay healthy.

This list will give you a starting point for developing a basic upkeep routine, covering measures such as:
  • Inspecting Services configuration and Device Manager
  • Checking page file configuration
  • Keeping firmware and drivers up to date
  • Ensuring proper operating area environment
  • Checking internal and external connections
