Have you ever loss your important data ? Well, i have.
At that moment I really agree on what people say that prevention is always a better cure.
Here are some steps that I want to share with you in order to prevent data loss.

1. Use an updated Anti Virus software and always keep it up to date
Antivirus is a special software developed to protect your computer against malicious computer virus.
Some virus can remove or modify your data without you ever realize it and some virus can cause your computer to crash.
So make sure to keep your Antivirus software uptodate with the latest patch and signature files for maximum security.

2. Protect your computer against power surges with UPS
UPS is an Uninterruptible Power Supply. It protects your computer and data during a power surge or failure.
UPS is equiped with a spare battery that provides you some time to save your documents and shutting down Windows properly so that you don’t lose any files and avoiding your computer hardware components from the possibility of damages.

3. Make sure your machine is dry and keept in dust-free area
Place your computer far away from places that can be directly exposed to rain, sun or humidity.
These places have the tendency to cause rusting and can damage your hardware components.

4. Don’t try to repair or open up your computer without any assistance
If you have no experience in repairing computer hardware, you may accidentally damage the circuit boards,
hardware components or even worst, get an electric shock! Always consult with an expert.

5. Don’t over-tweak your system
Avoid modifying your windows registry or perform an overclock to your hardware in order to boost the performance unless if you are definitely sure on what you’re doing. I’m sure you don’t want to fry your computer.

6. Make a backup copy and keep them at an off-site location
This helps protecting your backup copy from damage, just in case if there is a natural disaster such as flood, fire or any kind of disaster.

7. Don’t move your computer while it still running/operating
I’m sure that you don’t want your power cord falling off and generates a data corruption or a physical damage to your hard disk such as a head crash while you still working on a project.

8. Avoid sharing access to your computer with strangers on the network
Your data can be stolen or modified if anyone on the network can have access to your files.

9. Perform hard disk maintenance
Delete temporary files, unnecessary files and defragment your hard disk regularly.
This can help you keeping up your hard disk on good condition.

10. Aware of failure symptoms
When you hard disk starts making noises and your systems are getting cranky, it is time to start making backups on all of your data files.

I hope this steps can help you to prevent from loosing your data files.

RAM is the short of Random Access Memory.
It performs as a temporary memory, just like a human brain to store amount of informations.
RAM can be access through the computer’s brain called the CPU which stands for Central Processing Unit.
RAM is capable of retrieving data only when the computer is on.
When the computer is turned off the RAM is no longer accessible.
ROM chips is built in together with BIOS (computer boot firmware) allows the RAM information to be retrievable when the computer is rebooted.

RAM size and Location on the Computer System

Most computers were already equipped with 256 Megabytes of RAM on the computer.
Additional RAM can be placed within the system. However, usually a computers mainboard has a limitation of RAM that can be added to a computer system. RAM as its name, is not really random.
RAM is highly controlled and the storage can be directly ascertained. There is a decisive method that RAM uses to make its memory become available to certain areas of the computer system.

Forms for RAM

RAM consists of microchips and each module has a place of their own (slots).
Increasing the capacity of RAM can be done by adding an extra module into a different slot.
Usually a new computer system can be added more than 3 GB of RAM’s.
An electronic path allows the processor to connect to the RAM so that both units can work together.

RAM is an important part

RAM serves the very important function of retrieving information that must be accessed in a quick manner.
This operation is very similar to the human brain’s function in retrieving necessary facts from short term memory.
Open files and the utilization of applications on a computer systems requires the assistance of RAM.
Users that play alot of video games with detailed graphics or keep a lot of folders open while doing on another tasks will need the use of additional RAM. This will allow them to better access the information they need when the time comes.
RAM can keep information while the computer is on and it can provide information that required a quick access.
Thesedays, operating system comes with a new and greater feature and it requires a large amount of free RAM.
