Prologue: This post may look unnesesary to some, but i had to explain this steps a few times so wanted to post this and just share this link when somebody ask me 
And sorry for my english, i learned most of my written english from the internet, a place where grammar is not strong.
If you see i can improve anything please tell me, if you have questions ask me.
Prologue of the prologue: @Sunkist made a good point , so is good to point out in how to protect your pc, even if you are not doing folding, so follow this three mayor advices:
-
Keep your PC free of dust: "The first line of defense against these ugly occurrences is a simple blast of compressed air to your PC’s heatsinks and fans. It feels sort of like the ocean breeze, except it freezes and explodes if used improperly. Just like the ocean breeze"¹ .
-
Use an stabilizer or ups , i use a ups cause i live in a country with electric spikes bigger than the inflation of venezuela (be strong).
-
Keeping the PC free of dust helps maitaining good temperatures, but if you live in hot region, then you better have a good cooling system or have the room a good temperature. ("Moderate temperatures of 68 to 71 degrees Fahrenheit are ideal temperatures for computers"²)
