PC Servicing for a More Reliable Windows

You wouldn’t run your car for years without changing the oil, so why run your PC for years without giving it a periodic service. Just like your car, your PC can be given either a mini service or a full service. And just like your car, it pays to get the problems fixed while they are small, before they lead to major errors. Unfortunately, your PC probably doesn’t come with a workshop manual like the ones your garage uses to service your car, but fortunately you have The Windows Advisor, the only manual you need for dealing with PC problems. In this article, we’ll show you how to perform both a mini service (which you should run every month), and a full service (which you need to run a couple of times a year), to diagnose serious system faults before they strike.
