Here’s a commonly occurring scenario in any office. You are trying to print a document and find that the printer is jammed again. Then you try to access your web and discover that your PC is unusually slow. You need to make an important presentation in a few hours and would appreciate some professional technical help. Whom do you turn to for assistance? In most companies, an in-house IT or hardware engineer looks after the daily technical needs. However the arrangement leaves a lot to be desired in terms of range of service, quickness and results. Technical aspects cover not only the hardware, software and networking issues but also troubleshooting user queries. An in-house technician may lack the level of expertise needed to deliver consistent results on various fronts. A malfunctioning PC and network downtime are frequent issues which lead to loss of productivity. Companies that avail of professional providers are better placed to address these concerns. Using sophisticated tools like remote desktop support complemented with on-site support, service providers are able to resolve issues in quick time. To keep up with and surpass the competition a company needs to be up to date with their technical functions. Computer repair firms perform a variety of tasks to ensure the company’s daily operations run smoothly at all times. Tasks executed include routine work like computer setup and software installation to network security and data backup. This enables the core departments like manufacturing, sales and services, which depend on IT support, to perform at their best. Upgrades are another important aspect that a professional computer repair firm provides for. Increase in business scope brings with it a higher demand for computer capacity and newer equipment. Today, computer repair firms can help with the installation and maintenance for new hardware as well as software support which includes better antivirus and anti-spyware programs. Repair firms can also help with the procurement of quality IT equipment according to the client’s business requirements. Such a service is of great assistance as a computer repair firm is in the best position to know the IT needs of any company. Speaking of cost, computer repair service providers charge a monthly fee which proves to be much more affordable than having an in-house team of technicians. With 24/7 support, companies get access to experienced technicians anytime to resolve any major or minor computer issues.

If you have a computer you are not unfamiliar to computer repairs. It is inevitable that your computer will eventually run slow or not at all especially if you are a novice to technology which lets admit most of us are. One of the biggest reasons clients bring their computers in to Hartford Computer Repair that they are slower than when they first purchased them. They always want to know who or what is to blame for this. No one wants to hear it but the problem your computer may be running slower than when you purchase it is... YOU! Maintenance is the key in making sure your computer keeps running at peak performance. Just like your car needs regular oil changes and filter changes your computer needs tune ups to clean up the registry of old programs not in use, updates on spyware and adjustment of settings to insure peak performance. Of course there could be more reasons for the slow down. It is best to take the computer in to a local computer repair firm, as you would your car to a mechanic; to have it thoroughly looked at.Other reasons that your computer may be having issues running slower than normal could be that your computer has contracted a virus. Trojans, spyware and malware may be the cause of the issue with your computer running slowly. Spyware creates an issue where outsiders have gotten into your computer without you knowing it and start sending out personal data to entities that will take advantage of your system and cause it to run slowly. Even if you have up to date virus protection you can still become infected it just lessens the likelihood. Computer repair in the form of a virus scan and removal are needed and can be done at your local computer repair store. It is also recommended that a tune up be performed on your PC at this time to regain the speed and efficiency of your computer.You can also inspect your computer and delete files and programs that have been added that are unnecessary. The more files and programs you keep stored on the hard drive of your computer the slower it will run. I recommend having a separate flash drive to store big files such as pictures, word and excel documents. The space adds up quickly. Also, delete any unnecessary short cuts on your desk top they could be causing your computer to run at a snail's pace.t is important if you have tried all of the similar solutions to look at the computer's hard drive. Run a disk defragmenter which will help optimize how data is stored and then Scandisk to help ensure nothing is actually corrupt within the drive.Another issue that is common is that the processor is overheating. This is common. You will want to first make sure the cooling system in the computer, the fan, is running. If not it will need to be shut off and taken in for the fan to be replaced. If the fan is running look to make sure a build-up of dust is not causing an issue or that the cabinet the computer is stored in is not blocking the air flow. I have found this happens to me when I am in bed using the laptop and forget about the heat issue. If I set the computer on the blankets the air flow is blocked and the computer will have issues.Memory, hard drive disk space and conflict in hardware/software are all problems that could also be responsible for the slowing down of your computer. If you have a computer repair check all of the above and there is still issues they will most likely recommend you do an OS reload. Basically this will consist of wiping the computer clean and reloading your operating system. Make sure your data is backed up before doing this. Also, this requires installation of the programs that you run on your computer. This is basically a last resort but it will make your computer like when you first brought it home.Hartford Computer Repair ...read more
