It Was Great When I Bought It But Now...
When you first bought your PC, everything was fine. You were happy with your purchase and everything worked well, but after a time, you began to face problems. Perhaps the computer itself gradually become noisier, and now the start-up of your PC takes forever, you receive pop-ups, programs run that you did not set to open, or your computer has significantly decreased in speed. What happened to that shiny new machine?
This is a common scenario that Computer Troubleshooters deal with every day. What they don’t tell you in the shop is that a computer is not like a TV ; it requires regular maintenance, “house keeping.” and even internal cleaning to keep it running well. Added to that, your PC requires protection and regular “scanning” to ensure those unwanted programs are not installing themselves and "getting up to no good."
Modern computers are nice and quiet when you first buy them, but over time, they may start to become noisy for no apparent reason. Often the problem is that computers collect dust through their fans, and over time those fans become clogged. This can make the fans very noisy, resulting in a decrease in performance and in bad cases, cause the PC to just “turn itself off.” To fix this problem, you would need to clean out the inside of your computer. This is a process that should be done by a professional because without proper training or equipment you run the risk of fatally damaging your PC.
Over time, the startup of your PC will gradually decrease in speed. This is perfectly normal, but there are some measures you can take to try and keep your PC booting as fast as possible. When you install programs, quite often they will set themselves to start every time the computer is switched on, sometimes without you noticing. This can considerably slow your computer’s start up, but there are ways to reduce the number of operations running when you power up your PC.
The speed of your PC can also decrease over time. This is usually due to your files becoming fragmented and also because of the way your computer creates temporary files. A solution to this is to regularly defrag your PC, which will sort your files into a structured order enabling the computer to load faster. Also, regularly, perhaps once a week, clean up your temporary files and adware to keep your computer running at optimum speed. Set up an appointment with your local Computer Troubleshooters to comprise an outline for these processes.
All of this may seem to be a lot for the average business or home user to do (which is why it often gets left undone). Computer Troubleshooters can create a regular maintenance plan for your business, or we can take all your worries away by scheduling a regular short maintenance visit to work on each of your PCs to ensure they are running as good as the day you bought them.
