These days everyone has a gamer in their life. Friend or family member, young or old, the hobby has been dramatically increasing in popularity for years now. So, many of us will understand the frustration that comes with technical issues ruining an otherwise fun experience. That is exactly what had been happening to Joelle’s son when he tried to game. His brand-new computer would randomly shut off with no warning. Thankfully, Joelle knew that the technicians at Fix My Tech offers custom gaming computer repair!

The computer was very high spec and extremely powerful. When handling a computer like this keeping everything cooled is of the highest priority.

One of our technicians rapidly determined that the cooling solution for this computer was simply not good enough. The CPU, the brain of the computer was getting so hot it was essentially cooking itself! The CPU was hot enough to boil water and the cooler it was attached to simply could not keep up.

When this happens the CPU first slows down, you will experience poor performance from your computer. If this automatic safety step fails or isn’t enough the computer will abruptly turn off to avoid damaging itself.

Despite the complex nature of cooling a computer, this powerful Fix My Tech was able to source and install a vastly superior cooler the very same day.

Just like that Joelle’s son was back to his gaming sessions the high-end CPU was down from over 100 degrees to just about 63 degrees which is a perfect temperature.

If your computer is giving you trouble Fix My Tech repairs and upgrades all from the old work laptop you have laying around up to the brand new high-performance gaming machine Joelle brought us.

When we got a call from a local pharmacy stating that they couldn’t dispense medicine, we knew it was an emergency.

The pharmacist was completely unable to give medicine to her customers all because her computers we not keeping up with the task. Within 5 minutes of the phone call, our technicians had remotely diagnosed the issue and found replacement parts to get the computers up to speed.

The pharmacy computers were running out of RAM, a very common cause of slow computers when a heavy workload is required. Unfortunately, the fix was not so simple. In order to replace the RAM, all sales machines would be taken offline. For every minute the computer was being upgraded there was money being left on the table. For every minute it was not upgraded patients couldn’t get their medicine.

In total from the moment the first computer was powered down until all computers were back online, there were fewer than 15 minutes of outage.

Thanks to the experience of technicians at Fix My Tech upgrades like this can be carried out during a busy day with absolute minimal disruption to normal business. Experience meant the upgrade went perfectly, the first time, as quickly as possible.

A laptop was brought in that was not booting into windows. The drive was diagnosed as faulty and an upgrade to a solid state drive was recommended.

When a computer reads data from a hard drive it uses technology similar to any record, CD or DVD player. It is limited by the rotation speed of the platters to read and write from the disc that is spinning. Due to this moving part it uses a large amount of power and is fragile to shocks. One way that hard drives have improved over time is by increasing the RPM they spin at, a standard drive will run at 5400RPM, some hard drives will be labelled as “green” or “power saving” meaning that they operate at a lower RPM.

A solid state drive uses circuitry to store data and is has no moving parts. As it has no moving parts and doesn’t require a spinning disc it is less fragile to shocks. While an SSD upgrade doesn’t improve the clock speed of a computer, it means that the data can be read more rapidly allowing shorter boot, program and application launch times. An average improvement is about 1000% increase in speed of reading.

The upgrade for the laptop brought in was successful and the user’s data was migrated to the new drive. The laptop is faster than it was out of the shop, but set up how the user likes it.
