Computer Hardware Failures

Before they die, computer hardware usually gives out subtle warning signs.

The hard drive starts to fail to boot up every now and then.
The DSL modem keeps getting disconnected and unable to reconnect automatically.
The mouse becomes unresponsive.
The thumb drive can't be accessed on more and more computers.

I've experienced all these in the past few years and fortunately managed to get them replaced before disaster struck. Can't forget to emphasise the importance of backing up data periodically. Every now and then, everyone should burn their important info onto DVDs or a series of high-capacity storage.

It's always better to duplicate copy rather than to forget making a copy of your important stuff.
