When To manage PC maintenance Yourself And When To Consult A Mechanic

By Adam Ellis


A broken desktop is among the most frustrating sides of life for those that know nothing about PC repair. When faced with a stuttering Computer, slow working or one that's simply died, you do not know when you must attempt to fix the issue yourself and when you should call the execs. Here's a guide on what can be done, what you shouldn't attempt and what a good technician should offer.

Should your desktop be working slower than normal, you can safely attempt a few things. The most probable solution is to utilise a good anti-malware and antivirus software to locate adware, spyware and viruses. Ensure any suspicious files are removed.

Doing a disk clean up to get rid of unused software and temporary files may work. Removing screen savers and desktop images will probably also make a real difference. Lowering your resolution may also speed up the machine.

If a flawlessly clean hard drive does not do the trick, ensure you have enough free disc space for the machine to run well ( at least 15% ) Some may, at that point, try and clean the internal mechanics themselves. This is deadly as any static shocks or damp can damage the PC permanently.

It's far safer to call a technician at this point. Today one can have a pro at one's home to do the mend as easily as one can have take-outs delivered. A technician who's content to perform the fix in your home is ideal as PCs may become damaged during travelling.

Aspects a professional should have are the ability to find the difficulty in good time, charge moderately and offer you more than one solution. He can also explain things to you in a way you can understand. If you follow these pointers, your frustration levels should decrease and you can live easily with your technology.
