A major cause of trouble in all desktop computers is dirt
. All desktop computers need a general cleanup
yearly. My PM consist of opening the pc, vacuuming the inside to remove
all dirt and dust buildup
, resetting all cards to clean the contacts and
ensuring that all fans are clean and running correctly. (a slow fan can
cause the processor chip to overheat, causing intermitting problems.) It
also includes, checking the pc to make sure it has all the latest
security patches for the current Operating System installed, checking
that the current anti-virus program has up to-date virus definitions,
running a registry clean up program and
running a hard drive defrag. If the pc has a printer attached will print
a report showing all hardware and programs on the pc. - Re-install the Windows Operating System (customer must
provide the
Windows install CD). $80.00 This includes installing all security
patches for the OS.
Re-Installing other programs and data will be charged at the current hourly fee. - Installing a Home network using router or wireless router.
(customer to provide all hardware and internet connection) $80.00
