Behind its incredible usefulness, laptops are actually prone to damage. Therefore, laptops must be used carefully to avoid damage. Various seemingly trivial things, such as casually shutting down, can increase the risk of damage to the laptop.

The correct way to shut down a laptop is often referred to as shut down. Shutting down a laptop cannot be done just by pressing the power button. Unfortunately, because of being in a hurry, people often do it. However, shutting down a laptop using the power button can be a fatal mistake that users should avoid.

Here are some dangers of casually shutting down a computer by directly pressing the power button (without shut down).

1) RAM Will Have Problems

In a computer or laptop, RAM plays a very important role. RAM functions to divide tasks for commands given by the user to the computer. When we shut down the computer, the RAM will close all applications properly and orderly. On the other hand, if we force shut down the laptop, the applications will not close properly, which can result in fatal damage.

2) Hard Disk Becomes Bad Sector

One of the most common damages that occur due to shutting down the computer without shut down is the occurrence of bad sectors on the hard disk.

3) Registry Becomes Messy

The next danger of shutting down the laptop without shut down is disruption in the operating system, especially in the registry. When the laptop is running an application, and then suddenly shut down by pressing the power button, the registry will become messy and unable to function properly.
