电涌是少数可以立即摧毁您的计算机的事情之一，并且没有任何恢复。然而，并不是每个人都倾向于考虑停电的后果以及它能够做什么。
罕见的停电并不是什么大问题，但如果您生活在经常发生这种情况的城市，那么是时候采取必要措施保护您的计算机免受损害了，因为这只是时间问题。所以，是的，停电虽然与电涌不同，但可能会损坏您的计算机。
保护您的计算机(Computer)免受断电
使用传入的信息来保护您的计算机免受可能导致工作或个人生活出现重大问题的电涌和断电的影响。
停电如何使您的计算机进入来世？
为您的计算机提供动力的操作系统在表面之下并不是一件简单的事情。它的复杂性，这意味着突然断电可能会产生巨大的影响。你看，操作系统需要一系列的步骤来关闭计算机，所以如果不这样做，事情就会非常迅速地横盘整理。
可能最令人担忧的是系统文件。如果您正忙于对文件进行更改，那么突然断电可能会损坏文件。这就是 Windows 10 在更新操作系统时警告其用户不要关闭系统的原因之一。
尝试在损坏后重新启动，可能会迫使Windows 10或任何其他版本的Windows在压力下崩溃。在这种情况下，用户可能必须重新安装操作系统才能继续前进，这意味着可能会丢失文件。
此外，频繁的停机可能会导致硬盘出现问题，尤其是在您使用机械硬盘时。例如，如果您的硬盘驱动器的使用寿命为 10 年，那么持续的中断可能会将其减少一半。

停电后的电涌
停电后，我们都坐下来期待一段时间后电力恢复，但正如我们上面所说，如果出现电涌，这可能是个问题。电涌(power surge)会使所有电子设备过载，这反过来会比定期停电更严重地损坏您的 PC。
无需在中断后处理损坏的文件，激增可能会导致 PC 无法启动并需要更换。
(Prevent)使用不间断电源(Power Supply)( UPS )防止损坏
好的，因此，要保护您的计算机免受中断损坏，您需要做的第一件事就是投资UPS。该设备配有内置电池，可在断电后继续为您的计算机供电一小段时间。
这样做可以确保 PC 不受停电的影响，这在很大程度上消除了永久性损坏的危险。
我们应该指出，一些UPS设备具有防止电涌的能力，但您可能需要支付更多费用。

使用笔记本电脑而不是台式机
因为笔记本电脑带有电池，所以如果您的系统连接到主电源，那么在断电后一切都应该没问题。它不能防止浪涌；因此，请按照我们所说的去做，并尽可能投资购买 UPS(UPS)设备。
我们都应该记住，我们的计算机是让我们保持联系的重要设备，尤其是在当前问题期间。考虑到所有这些，我们应该始终尽一切努力确保我们的计算机得到很好的保护。
How to protect your Computer from Power Outages and Surges?
A power surge is one of the few things that can instantly destroy yоur cоmputer, and there is no coming back frоm that. However, nоt everyone tends tо consider the ramifications of a power outage and what it is capable of doing.
Rare power outages are not a huge issue, but if you live in a city where this is a regular occurrence, then it is time to take the necessary steps to protect your computer from harm because it’s only a matter of time. So yes, a power outage, while not the same as a power surge, can do damage to your computer.
Protect your Computer from electricity outage
Use the incoming information to protect your computer from electricity surges & power outages that can cause major problems with work or your personal life.
How can a power outage send your computer to the afterlife?
The operating system that powers your computer is not a straightforward thing below the surface. Its complex, which means, the sudden removal of power can have huge ramifications. You see, the operating system requires a series of steps to shut down the computer, so when this is not done, things can go sideways very fast.
Probably the most concerning here, are the system files. If you were busy making changes to a file, then a sudden loss in power could corrupt the file. This is one of the reasons why Windows 10 warns its users not to turn off their systems when the operating system is being updated.
Trying to reboot after a corruption, will likely force Windows 10 or any other versions of Windows to buckle under pressure. In a situation like this, then, the user may have to reinstall the operating system to move forward, which means a possible loss of files.
Additionally, frequent outages can cause issues for your hard drive, especially if you’re using a mechanical hard drive. For example, if your hard drive had a lifespan of 10-years, and then constant outages could reduce it by half, potentially.

Power surge after an outage
After an outage, we all sit back and expect the electricity to return after a time, but as we’ve stated above, that can be a problem if there’s a surge. A power surge will overload all electronics, which in turn, could destroy your PC more so than a regular outage.
Instead of having to deal with corrupt files after an outage, a surge could lead to a PC that doesn’t turn on and needs replacement.
Prevent damages with Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
OK, so one of the first things you will need to do to protect your computer from damages via an outage, is to invest in a UPS. This device comes with a built-in battery that will continue to power your computer for a short while after an outage.
Doing this makes sure the PC is not affected by the power outage, which, for the most part, removes the danger of permanent damage.
We should point out that some UPS devices come packed with the ability to protect against power surges, but you may have to pay a little bit more.

Use a laptop instead of a desktop
Because a laptop comes with a battery, everything should be fine after a power outage if your system is connected to the main. It won’t protect against a surge; therefore, do as we say and invest in a UPS device whenever you can.
We should all keep in mind that our computers are important devices that keep us connected, especially during the current issues. With all of this in mind, we should always do whatever it takes to make sure our computers are well protected.
