You’ve probably noticed that when you first purchase a computer or laptop, that it runs really fast. Then, after several months, programs and activities start to slow down. This can be for many reasons :– additional software getting loaded that runs as a background task, build-up of temporary files, fragmented files around your disk, spyware or even a virus. If you suspect the latter, bring it along for a PC check- up. We can do a repair before damage is done. Best to be on the safe side if you have important data.

Have a Back Up Plan

The relentless march of technology means that today’s hard disks have huge amounts of storage capacity – storage up to 1Tb is becoming more and more common.

That’s great while your computer is running well, but what happens if you have a problem with a hard disk drive? It means an expensive computer repair. The sheer amount of data (which can be personal photographs, family videos, or emails or mission critical business information) means that a hard disk crash can be a big problem. Too often we see customers in a panic for PC Repair Heswall due to a bad disk.

Disks can just wear out, or become corrupted due to a virus or memory problem. Not to mention water or heat damage, power surge problems, or accidental damage.

Our advice – hard drives have a limited life, so make sure your important data is well backed up. There are many ways to do this now, including memory sticks, CD-Rom, data DVD, external hard-drives, even offsite storage. Contact us to discuss your options, we don’t like to see our customers get stressed due to data loss!
