Yes, a computer can potentially cause a fire if there is a malfunction of the power supply, overheating of components, or electrical shorts. However, such incidents are relatively rare and can be mitigated by using proper equipment, ensuring proper ventilation, and regular maintenance of the computer.

Do HP Computers Catch On Fire?

Any computer can catch on fire if not properly maintained. Dust can build up inside a computer, which traps heat generated, which can then cause a fire to ignite. I reccomend buying canned air, opening the side panel of the computer, and blowing out all the dust you see about once a month. The computer will last a lot longer, will have fewer problems, and dust will not be able to build up enough to be in danger of causing a fire.
