A diagnostic is essentially a computer wellness check and can help detect hardware or software issues before they become catastrophic. We recommend having a diagnostic every 6 months to a year, it’s like a doctor’s wellness checkup for your computer. Our diagnostics go over the 3 general components of your computer:
The Hardware
We test your hardware for possible failures. We can detect all device failures, this test will include stressing video cards, ram, motherboards, hard drives and more. We can detect many issues, especially hard drive failures which can save your bacon before you lose all your important data. We will also clean your computer with compressed air to keep it running dust free.
The Software
There are many software issues that may cause your computer to run slowly including viruses, malware, spyware, and ransomware. There are also Microsoft Windows Updates causing OS issues that can be repaired. With a diagnostic, we can let you know if your issues are virus related, software corruption, and suggest a plan of action to move you forward.
The Computer Specifications
We will give you our professional opinion, and the best options regarding the age, current specifications, and the cost of possible upgrades. We want you to make an informed decision on how to move forward with your computer. Sometimes it is best to fix your computer, and sometimes it is time to purchase a new one. We will give you several options on how to proceed. You make the final decision.
