1. Bugs. If your PC has a roach hiding inside it, don’t expect your computer repair service to take it out. Few computer cleaning services may actually handle this problem. Keep your food away from your PC and close your PC’s lid if possible.
2. Dust and pet hair build up slows down your computer’s fans and heats up the system. Overheating could fry your motherboard or CPU. Clean your PC annually to prevent this.

4. Malware. Beware of emails, links and attachments from anyone you don’t know. Ransomware, viruses, trojans and other malware could leave you with an unusable PC.
