Computer repair is a common chapter, though not of the common interest. You could have experienced computer problems - hardware or software related. Sometimes, easy to fix with just a restart, while at other occasions seeking expert's hand might have become essential. Lucky in case, system was in-warranty, otherwise, computer repair charges might have given a jolt.
Techvedic, your friendly online computer support vendor, narrates 5 simple tips to save or reduce computer repair bill.
As a Windows user, you love to install new software or games? Well, everyone does. But, have you suffered from the problems like PC slow down or random error messages while installing such stuff. These error messages are sometimes due to a missing or corrupt system. Also, incorrect Registry value can be another reason. Here we are to resolve the issue. With the help of this tutorial, you can become aware about the built-in feature of Windows 8 which can help you to reinstall or repair Windows quickly.
Microsoft has added a wonderful Windows repair tool to find a quick way out of Windows problems. This is actually a reverse gear, which you can use to alter any changes that might have incurred to the operating system due to faulty software or driver update, virus or malware attack, incompatible driver, or more. So don't forget to create Restore Point within a reasonable timeframe-say, the last couple of months to stay safe.
Whenever you install something in Mac OS X then it gets installed from package files. Along with installing something from package files, a "Bill of Materials" file is stored in the package receipt file. These ".bom" files contain a list of the files installed by that package as well as the proper permissions for each file. But, in future, these permissions can get changed resulting in freezing or crashing of your Mac.
Why it's a good idea to own a USB-to-SATA adapter
The USB-to-IDE/SATA adapter the most indispensable tool in my PC repair kit. Just this weekend, it once again proved itself worthy of that title.
In a nutshell, the adapter allows you to connect an internal hard drive to your PC-externally. What would an internal drive be doing outside your desktop or laptop? Funny you should ask.
About a week ago, my media-center PC starting displaying this message during boot-up: "Hard drive failure imminent." And you know what? It was. In short order, the machine wouldn't boot at all.
Long story short, I had to replace the drive, reinstall Windows, etc. But I wondered if I could salvage any/all of my recorded TV shows. To find out, I connected the old, non-booting drive (now "naked" outside the system) to a USB port via my adapter.
Huzzah! The machine was able to read the drive and copy over the recordings. Except for the hassles (and expense) of actually replacing the drive, no harm done.
There's another reason to keep one of these adapters on hand, and that's if you're planning to upgrade to a solid-state drive (SSD). Unless you buy a kit that comes with an adapter, you'll need one so you can image (i.e. clone) your existing drive to the new SSD. Then you'll remove the old drive, install the new one, and presto, you're back in business. (Much faster business: SSDs rock.)
Unless you have a pretty old desktop or laptop, you can skip buying a USB-to-IDE/SATA adapter and just go for USB-to-SATA. At the same time, I recommend one that supports USB 3.0. You may not need it now, but it's a good bet your next PC will have USB 3.0 ports -- and that'll make for much faster copying between drives.
Trust me: When the time comes that you need to upgrade or replace a hard drive, you'll be glad to have a USB-to-SATA adapter on hand.
