Having a backup will save you buckets full of sweat and tears trying to recover lost files if you computer goes into meltdown.

2. Always check your computer's health/status - The old saying that "Prevention is better than cure" applies to computers just like anything else. If you do routine checks on your computer's vital components, you will be able to detect problems in its early stages. A simple loud buzzing noise from the CPU may mean that that CPU/auxiliary fan wires may be stuck, or maybe a lot of dust is preventing the fan from working properly. If your computer overheats due to the fan not working properly this can cause all sort of problems. For example chips move off the mother board at a certain temperature. It can dry out the solder on your components which means a re-solder or possibly a new mother board if you can't find a computer repair shop that re-solders at component level. By detecting that minor problem early, you prevent a major problem from happening later.

3. Install a trusted Antivirus and Firewall - Some computer problems may arise due to the viruses, spyware, malware, Trojan's and hackers. Having a trusted antivirus/firewall will give you an assurance that somehow you are protected from viruses, spywares, malwares, Trojans, hackers and others. Spyware can slow your computer right down and you will be surprised at how much spyware you download with free programs. Think about it for a moment, why are these great little programmes free? Big brother is watching you! They watch your surfing habits so they can sell you something further down the line. Consult an expert for lists of trusted Anti-virus/firewall software.

4. Regularly clean your computer (safely) - Using your computer daily, dust will accumulate inside your computer's components and CPU. Regularly cleaning your computer will ensure optimum performance. You have to make sure that you are safely cleaning your computer. If you don't know what you are doing, it is best to consult experts to help you clean, as you can cause more damage than good and it could prove a costly D.I.Y. exercise. Regularly removing internal dust will help you get the most out of your computer's performance with a guarantee that you will save hours trying to fix a major computer problem that could have been prevented through regular maintenance.

Though troubleshooting computer problems may seem easy, it is always best and recommended to consult expert technicians to look into and fix the problem.
