Repair

-Hardware

Many things can go wrong with a modern computer. Some of the components of a computer have a finite life span such as Hard Drives, fans, power supplies, etc. These components can be replaced fairly easily once properly diagnosed. For example Hard drive failure is one of the worst things that can happen to a computer. Your hard drive stores all the software and documents that are saved on your computer, keeping backups of your data is very important. If your hard drive were to fail recovering data can be costly and time consuming experience. When a problem occurs it is best to diagnose and repair it as soon as possible.

-Operating System

The other main part of a computer that has problems is the Operating System (OS) and software that can malfunction and create problems. Our well trained technicians know your Operating System whether it be windows, Mac or even Linux. Keeping a system patched will help keep it stable and running the way it should. All current operating systems have an update feature, most can do this automatically. A system that is not up-to-date can be a big target for worms and Viruses that are lurking on the internet.

-Viruses

Viruses have been around for as long as the internet has been, and with the number of computers on the internet there are more ways for a computer to get infected than ever before. If a system is put on the internet that is unpatched meaning has windows install without any updates, And doesn’t have a firewall that system has about 14 minutes before it will be infected with a worm like the Sasser or Blaster. These worms ran rampant before service pack 2 of windows XP was released, and even now some system online don’t have the appropriate updates to prevent infection.
