I'm certainly not a power user or professional when it comes to computers but am self taught and have managed to build a few pcs for myself, family and friends.
Unfortunately you only need to know a little more than those asking the questions to be called on ALL of the time to fix any issues they may be facing.
The amount of times I have pulled someone else's PC apart to see the thing in a terrible state with the CPU cooler, PSU and external fans literally caked in dust.
As Zuts said, a little due care and maintainence with both software and hardware components can go along way to keeping things as they should be.
It would also be nice to see these regular callers at least attempt to come up with a solution before making the call for help.
I don't mind been helpful but I don't like being used either.
