Hardware Repairs & Software Support
Blue screens and lockups are not always hardware problems. Operating Systems can be corrupted which give similar problems as if it were a failing hard drive.
Neglect is real - I can fix this.

All hardware will fail at some point!
This is why it is best to monitor the machines and perform regular drive and fan replacement at the 2.5 year threshold. Dusting out the cooling fans is something that can't be overlooked. As overheating is the number one cause of hardware failure.

Data Backups
Backups are needed to recover files and databases. Cherry pick one file to restore from months ago or whole set of data after a disaster.
Disaster preparation is vital, because nobody ever says "I wish I never had multiple backups of my ONE OF A KIND DATA!"
Can you honestly ask yourself, "Am I reasonably confident that I can recover nearly all, if not all my data and photos after a crash or disaster?"

It's not you, they are complex machines and for no reason it seems they just revolt and stop functioning correctly. Before you take a hammer to it, give me a call.

How to Defend
Password Management
This may not be high on your priority list because you have a clever password you use everywhere. Hackers look for the low hanging fruit, like service of some kind. When they get all that info, then they start checking it against other lists. Eventually they have enough info to build a profile and go after the "Pay Day".

First, your login password to your machine, should always be different from all your other passwords. In a network environment it should be changed several times a year.
Second you definitely need business passwords separate from personnel passwords. Money related passwords should be separated from both. Some folks even need to separate investing from banking.
The bottom line, you need a plan that you can follow and clear secure method of recovery.
