How to Use This Website…
Have you ever had any of these problems?
You have a strange problem with your hard drive…
You are not sure what is wrong but when you boot up your hard drive simply takes forever to bring Windows up. You keep hearing funny sounds but you don’t know what to do.
Your computer is so slow…
The darn thing is running slower than molasses in Alaska. Every time you boot up it seems to take forever and it keeps getting worst. Now you are getting Window “Blue Screen of Deaths” error messages.
Your computer will not turn on…
It was acting funny yesterday but you just didn’t have time to fool with it but now the darn time won’t even turn on.
Your computer is full of viruses and spyware…
You have “porn-pops” every time you go online now and you notice that files keep disappearing. You have done everything the “gamer guy” at work told you to do but things keep getting worst.
Your computer keeps restarting…
You just simply cut if off because it would work for a little while then just cut off and restart all by itself…over and over again.
If you have had any problem similar to these then I can help you. You are here because your computer is about to drive your crazy. You are sick and tired of dealing with computer headaches. You just want to find a way to fix the issues and get things back to normal. Everyone says you should take your machine into the computer shop but times are hard right now and you just don’t have that kind of cash anymore.
But “Damnit Jim”, you’re an ordinary person, not a computer guy! So what should you do?
What the computer repair guy doesn’t want you to know is…
You don’t have to be a certified support tech to repair your home computer. In fact, it’s fairly simple to learn how to fix common PC problems yourself and save money.
Hey, basic computer maintenance and repair isn’t rocket science. I know, I have been messing around with computers for over 18 years now and my friends can tell you, I’m not all that smart!
Anyone with a decent set of hand tools, some technical know-how (which you will pick up if you keep reading this website) and an hour or two; can learn to troubleshoot and repair their Windows-based PC.
Fix Computer Problems Guide was developed to help non-technical people to learn how-to:
- Find out what is really wrong with their computers
- Decide if they want to fix or repair the problem themselves
- Gain the technical information they need to made the proper repairs quickly
- And locate affordable computer hardware and software they may need
In order to get the most out of Fix Computer Problems Guide, you should:
Be comfortable with Windows-based computers While I have taken every effort to make sure this website is as simple and straight forward as I can, this is NOT a beginner’s resource. If all you can really do is check your email then this is not the place for you. Sorry. But if you consider yourself to be an “intermediate” computer user and enjoy learning new things we can work together.
Be capable of installing software programs A good many of the how-to articles on this site involve downloading, installing and running hardware utilities or other diagnostic programs. If you have installed as least one or two programs on your own then you can easily learn how to use the utility programs I recommend.
Be willing to open your computer case! Yes, often the hardware mini-guides do require that you pop the case on your computer. If just the idea of working inside your computer makes you queasy then you are better off taking your computer to a repair shop. But if you can use a screwdriver, and are not afraid of taking an up a challenge, then I can show you how to fix your own computer and save you some money.
While this is not an advanced, for “geeks-only” website by no means, Fix Computer Problems Guide is designed to be a how-to resource for intermediate or “power” computer users.
Now if you haven’t been frightened off, I invite you to explore this website and learn how to fix common computer problems the simple and easy way. Click on “Getting Started” if you want to get going now. But if you are still not sure about doing your own computer repairs, please read “Why Do It Yourself”…
