Perform regular maintenance to keep a desktop running smoothly, prevent problems, and extend hardware lifespan. Clean internal dust about every six months to lower internal temperatures because heat shortens component life. Combine physical cleaning with basic software maintenance such as managing startup programs. Follow safety steps: unplug the PC, work on non-carpeted floors or use an anti-static wrist strap or mat if necessary, though static damage is unlikely. Most maintenance tools and utilities are inexpensive or free. Routine upkeep preserves performance and helps avoid heat-related failures over years of ownership.
