Back to School Computer Service

Get your tech ready for school with our back to school computer service. Our back to school computer service helps to assess the health of your PC and remove any unwanted software that may lead to greater inconvenience when you need your computer the most. Just like a car, a computer needs regular service to optimize performance and extend its life. So, how do you know when it’s time to get your computer serviced?

Computer Service Indicators

Slow computer startups: These days, there is no reason for a computer to take more than a minute or two to startup. Slow computer startups indicate bloatware, system errors, or imminent hardware failures. So, this is a good sign that your computer needs service.

Too Many Popups: Unlike system notifications, popups are often tied to scams or malicious software. Too many popups from your web browser or system notifications tray indicate that your computer needs virus removal service. Besides, popups are a distraction that you or your kids don’t need during school. So, our back to school computer service helps you eliminate such distractions.

Laptop Structural Issues: If you see a bit of a lift around the hinges of your laptop screen, it’s best to have that checked. Too much lift between the Palmrest and bottom cover of your laptop, or between the LCD screen lid and LCD bezel indicate either loose screws or damage to the standoff pins for the screws. Opening and closing the lid with such play can cause more structural damage. This can lead to expensive laptop repairs.

Computer Freezing Up:  If your computer is freezing up, this indicates either too many tasks running in the background or critical hardware failure. Either way, this indicates an urgent need for computer services to establish what is causing your computer to freeze up.

Blue screen of death (BSOD): A blue screen of death can be caused by software issues, just as we have seen with the blue screen outage caused by a failed CrowdStrike update. But hardware failure can also cause a BSOD. Sometimes you may only get a blank screen with a blinking cursor instead of a blue screen.    

Boot errors /No boot device: There are usually other PC service warning signs that come up before you get boot errors. Unless you already backed up your files, do not keep trying to restart your computer. Too many restarts can further damage your computer’s storage and reduce the chances for data recovery.

Why Get Regular PC Service?

Regular computer maintenance can extend the life of your computer and help catch small problems before they make your computer inoperable. The above is a general list of some of the most common computer problems. But if you see something that is out of the ordinary, consult with your local computer expert for further assistance. Do not try any DIY solutions unless you know what you are doing. You will be better off taking your computer into your trusted local computer repair shop to get the best possible path forward.
