Hardware Failure

Hardware failure occurs when a computer component or device, such as a hard drive, memory, processor, or power supply, stops functioning properly. This can happen due to wear and tear, manufacturing defects, overheating, power surges, or physical damage. When hardware fails, the computer may become slow, crash, or lose data. Troubleshooting involves identifying faulty parts and replacing or repairing them. Regular maintenance and backups are essential to minimize the impact of hardware failures on data safety and system reliability.
