Computer Repair Advice: Will I Harm The PC By Pressing Its Power Button Off?
In our repair shop, we’ve been sometimes asked by customers if there is any hurt in shutting down the pc by just pushing the power button for a couple of seconds, instead of going through the Windows shutdown procedure.
As far as the client is concerned, the outcome seems to be similar, the pc turns off. In actual fact, from their viewpoint, pressing the power button for a number of seconds seems to shut down the pc promptly, whereas a correct Windows shutdown will take maybe 20 to Thirty seconds. So is it a great idea to do this? So says this computer repair Evanston consultant, it isn’t a good idea!
To get immediately to the purpose, it is a very, very bad strategy to shut down a personal computer by holding the power button.
To be able to fully grasp why this is such a harmful idea, you really need to understand slightly about what a personal computer commonly does throughout a traditional Windows shutdown and why it needs to complete these things.
During regular running,
- a personal computer hard disk is spinning thousands of times a minute
- the small arm that reads and writes information to the hard disk is shifting forward and backward on a regular basis
- Windows has many files open for reading and writing
- Windows might be reading and writing to the system registry
While in a regular shutdown, amongst doing quite a few additional things) according to the computer repair Naperville..
- Windows closes any files it had been reading or writing
- Windows closes any access it has to the system registry
- the little hard disk arm is left very carefully at one side of the disk
So in comparison, what does holding the power switch for a number of seconds do? Pressing the power button for a few seconds cuts power instantly to the entire pc.
