What things do you have to do in order to maintain a gaming PC?

Q. Just wanted to know I'm getting a new gaming PC and I don't know much about them.
Oh and that means hardware to do I have to open it up every month and clean it or something?

A. Have your PC free from dusts from time to time --- accumulated dusts causes the PC to heat more especially those dusts that are stuck in the heat sink and cooling fans of the PC.

Monitor your hardware's temperature --- use a software called 'Speccy'. It will monitor your PC for you and it's free. Temperature is very important, if left unnoticed it could burn your computer's hardware, literally.

Defrag your hard disk and registry from time to time --- software within the PC sometimes leave some clutters in the system which when accumulated could slow down the PC. It's best having some software like CCleaner, Perfect Optimizer, and the likes in your PC. Those software could clean the PC off of some clutters.

Protect your PC from malicious softwares --- install the best anti-virus software in your PC. The better the anti-virus software is, the more secure your PC is from malicious softwares. I, personally use BitDefender 2011 and Microsoft Security Essentials. Microsoft Security Essentials is free, while BitDefender 2011 requires you to buy it, but it's worth it. I was using the previous version of these two anti-virus software and I could really say that it protected this PC for months. And for that I am thankful to the people behind these two software.

Scan your PC from malwares and viruses from time to time --- there are still some sneaky malwares and viruses that could get into your PC from time to time. Full scanning the PC could detect them and remove them off the system.


How to fix my second monitor from shifting the full screen video?
Q. I have dual monitors, and when I try to run a fullscreen game like Skyrim or Sims 3 on my main monitor while I have any internet screen running on my second monitor, the internet window becomes shifted a few inches to the right, and off the screen. Is there any way to fix this problem? I've been dragging the window a few inches to the left to offset it before I open the game, but would love to fullscreen on both monitors.

A. Hello, If you want the display to be just on one screen, you will need to go to your computers' Display Settings which can be accessed by right clicking on your desktop and personalize your display or through the control panel->Appearance and Personalization-> Display. In the settings, for the multiple display option, select "Display desktop only on 1" or "Display desktop only on 2" depending on which monitor is 1 or 2. Here are some websites that will help.

To get a good accurate answer give the brand, model number, installed operating system of the laptop when asking a question as all PC's are not the same. Hey, I enjoyed your question, I am a retired computer technician. I hope I have helped you...
