What Causes PCs to Break Down?

There are a number of factors that contribute to a PC’s poor performance, including:

  • Outdated or incompatible software
  • Faulty hard drive, memory or motherboard
  • Dust build up, which conducts electricity and can short-circuit or damage the internals of your PC
  • Unstable drivers or faulty software updates
  • Poor computer maintenance
  • Pirated software
  • Age (older than 7 years +)
  • Serious virus infection
  • Outdated versions of Windows

Luckily, we can repair the majority of these issues and get your PC back up and running.

Why Should I Hire a Professional to Fix My PC?

PC Repair Elwood

Would you fix your car, or attempt to do your own electricity rewiring? We wouldn’t. We don’t have the skills or knowledge of a mechanic or electrician, and by taking on those kinds of repairs we risk causing even more damage.

The same goes for your computer. DIY PC repairs may end in permanently deleted files and photos, a completely wiped computer, or a computer that doesn’t work at all. And that would be disastrous.

Excellent and “Very Special” Professional Service

“From the moment I contacted Computer Cures, and spoke with Paul. I can only say, how very impressed I was, with the detail that Paul came back to me with. He arranged for Harry to come out to my home and sort out my computer issues.

Harry, was just so knowledgeable, and did do an absolutely wonderful job, with setting up my computer, to near new status, with my viruses removed, my backups are now all done, and I have plenty of space to now work on my photo collages, with shortcuts to my desktops, and I just can’t wait to get started on doing my computer projects.

Harry was also excellent in answering my many questions, which gave me a lot more confidence in going forward. So, a very big thank you to Computer Cures, and I will definitely be using their services on a consistent basis in the future.”
