How to Protect Your Devices from Power Spikes

Tip: Use a surge protector. Protect your computers and devices from power spikes by plugging them into a surge protector instead of directly into the wall. ✅ Bonus: For critical equipment, consider an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to stay protected during outages. #DeviceProtection #WeeklyTechTip #TheComputerCenter

What is a Surge Protection Device (SPD)? Types and Working Principle Electricity helps run various devices such as computers, lights, refrigerators and air conditioners. However, with every advantage, there are some drawbacks too, and in this case, power surges are a menace. They are spikes in voltage and can destroy electronic equipment within moments. This is where a surge protection device (SPD) can come in handy. Read More - https://lnkd.in/dKVHypC5

🔍 Unmistakable signs that it's time to change your processor's thermal paste 🖥️💥 Is your PC acting up? It could be the thermal paste. Here are the key signs indicating an urgent need for replacement. 📈 Abnormally high temperatures: If you notice your processor exceeding 80-85°C under normal usage conditions, it's a red alert. The thermal paste may have lost its properties. 🌀 Excessive fan noise: When heat dissipation isn't efficient, coolers work under strain and become louder than usual. Listen to your computer! ⚠️ Unexpected shutdowns and blue screens: Overheating causes system failures to protect components. If your PC shuts down on its own, check the temperature. 🔄 Poor performance: Thermal throttling reduces processor clock speed to prevent damage. If your system is running slower than normal, it could be due to excessive heat. ⏳ Time in use: It's recommended to change thermal paste every 2-4 years, depending on the compound's quality and usage conditions. 💡 Pro tip: Use quality thermal paste and apply the right amount. Not too little, not too much. For more information visit: https://enigmasecurity.cl Have you experienced any of these symptoms?

Hardware Tip Never underestimate proper grounding Proper earthing of network equipment isn’t optional ,it’s essential for safety and longevity, especially in lightning-prone areas. How do you protect your hardware from surges?

The Power Supply Unit (PSU): The Heartbeat of IT Equipment Every computer, server, or printer you use has a power supply unit (PSU) quietly converting electricity into the exact form your machine needs. Without it, nothing turns on. When preventive maintenance is ignored: Dust and heat shorten PSU lifespan Power surges fry sensitive components Sudden failures can cause data loss, downtime, or even total equipment death With preventive maintenance: Cleaning reduces overheating risks Surge protection extends equipment life Routine checks spot weak components before they fail At Willi-An IT Solutions, we’ve seen institutions spend heavily on new computers, only to discover the real issue was a neglected PSU. Caring for your power supply isn’t just maintenance it’s insurance against costly surprises. Never overlook the heartbeat of your equipment. A healthy PSU means a longer, smoother life for your entire system. #PreventiveMaintenance #ITSolutions #DataProtection #Reliability

How well do your wires and cables stand up to repeated movement? If they're not flexible enough, you are in for some major downtime. Read our article to learn which types of flexible cables might be suitable for fixed and moving applications. https://hubs.ly/Q03BFQ1J0

🧰 3 Things Most Emergency Kits Forget Every organization has an emergency kit (at least on paper). But when we audit them, these three items are almost always missing: 1️⃣ Portable phone chargers / power banks — Radios fail, phones die, and response breaks down without comms. 2️⃣ Hard copies of contact lists — Digital files are great… until the network is down. 3️⃣ Flashlights with fresh batteries — You’d be surprised how many are dead when actually needed. The basics matter. In an actual emergency, these small details make the biggest difference. 👉 What’s the most overlooked item you’ve seen missing from an emergency kit? #EmergencyPreparedness #RiskManagement #PhysicalSecurity #Continuity #Compliance
