Computer Maintenance Information for the Home User

The hardware problems are usually caused by simple manufacturer fault (as in, it was going to fail at one point anyway) or a power surge. However, occasionally we can find a computer that is malfunctioning because of pet hair, dust or cigarette smoke. These three eventually find their way into the computers fans or heat sinks causing the computer to overheat and and malfunction. Some of these symptoms may include freezing up, slow operation, noisy fans, and more. All of the computers that come in for service at our facility are thoroughly cleaned out before they are returned back to their client.

Either way, keeping your computer in clean mechanical shape can save you hundreds of dollars in the long run. If you would like us to do it for you, for a simple $30.00, we will removal all dust, check and lubricate all cooling fan bearings, listen for motor noise in the hard drive, listen for noise in the optical drives, listen for noise in the power supply, and even check the heat sink and thermal compound on the processor. And it will be ready for pickup in just a few hours, not days!
