Computers have become an integral part of our lives that many people and businesses will not be able to function well without them. We use computers to help us in school, to accomplish tasks at work, for banking, for communication, etc. So what exactly do they do? Why are their services so important? Computer crashes are caused mainly by hardware malfunction and user error. They can also be the result of other factors including: Abrupt switching off of the computer system (whether accidental or intentional); Operating system (OS) failure; Virus and Trojan attacks; Corruption of the storage media; And effects of natural disasters. If the computer crashed because of OS failure (when Windows Vista, Linux, or Mac OS X fails) then the information in the hard drive can simply be copied to another medium before the OS is reinstalled.

Macs are just as exposed to danger from viruses and hackers as any other computer. Mac computers are still able to contract viruses that will damage or corrupt files on your hard drive and this can cause your computer to not work. Programmes that clash can also be a major case of data loss and this is all down to errors ...
