you're not looking for insurance, you want extended warranty.

oh ?
where would you get something like that ?

Are you building your own PC, or are you buying a pre-built machine?

If you're buying a pre-built machine it will come with a warranty, and you can always buy an extension of that warrenty. The warranty should cover dead hardware and other issues that are not user inflicted.

If your building your own, most hardware comes with a warranty for "X" years.

can you get add on warranty for a bought machine?

Under certain circumstance possibly. Depends on when you bought it and where you bought it.

 

[Lozz]

as in can you get separate warranty/ insurance? n my machine is 3-5 months

No? There's no insurance on computers, there are warranties(which are basically an insurance technically), if it breaks(non-user induced) it can be fixed for free. Your PC may have a warranty. Contact where you bought it from to check.
