hardware problems.

 Security Management: protects unauthorized access to data and
components.

 Alerts can be enabled, disabled, and tested, and software can be set to
back up information whenever a hard drive alert occurs.

 While the computer is connected to a network, alerts pop up on the

 System temperature alert—reports overheating. As the system
temperature rises, this feature first adjusts fan speed and other
