For general purpose use, such as web browsing, email, and casual games, a computer should not need to be replaced for four or five years. In addition, certain components like a video card and monitor can be individually replaced/upgraded (if so desired), rather than buying a whole new computer.

A computer being outdated is more a matter of feeling then a matter of knowledge. Example: If you buy a computer because you want to play the fastest and the hottest games on earth and you need real computer and graphics power.. your computer will be outdated in half a year to a year at most. Because gaming and graphics is one of the most heavy software you can run on a PC. BUT if you need your computer to browse on the internet, do you financial things, play with photos (no heavy editing) and talk to your friends on MSN or other Instant Messagers you can last at least 3 - 5 years with your computer before it really isn't "usable" anymore. So the first question to you would be:"What are you planning to do with it.

Why is important to back up data on a computer before you burn-in test the CPU?
It depends on when you do a burn-in test. If you do it as soon as you build a new computer, then backups are not necessary, since you didn't put anything on there worth saving yet. But the reason you should do backups would be if you ran such a test on a computer which has valuable data on it. Such testing can push the hardware over the edge, and then you won't have access to your data.

Predictive Maintenance Software on My Computer?
Sadly there is no program out there to tell you if there is a hardware problem with your computer. However, to keep you computers in optimal running condition, make sure you install a virus scanner program, a malware protection program, and run a registry cleaner at least once a week to make sure your computer runs smooth and no one is trying to compromise your computer's software/hardware. In addition, make sure you clean your computer at least once a month with canned air and keep the computers in a cool place so they don't overheat.
