I got my home computer back in 2015.
Earlier this month, this computer kept freezing.
I could be in the middle of doing something, and the computer just freezes.
And the worst are situations like "I plan to be off the computer at 10pm, but at 9:15, the computer freezes". Now, everything gets delayed!
Certain websites are slow. And worst was when the computer freezes while using Microsoft Word, the ultimate app for writing documents. It got to the point where I had to use Google Docs just write a cover letter.
Buying a new computer is expensive.
And I'm very picky with what I want with a computer.
I want a computer that has a DVD drive, USB drive, SD card drive, plus speakers, big monitor, keyboard, mouse and more.
I tried to finding a computer like that on the HP website. You can order a computer in which you can add the features you want.
The problem is the cost.
But yet, my computer kept freezing.
It was time to consider getting it repaired.
There is a well-known computer repair business near my home.
That computer repair business is called Super Geeks.
I first looked up Yelp to find out what other customers experienced. It was overwhelmingly positive.
I contacted Super Geeks via Yelp, explained my situation and asked for a quote.
While it was still costly, it was still cheaper than buying a new computer.
After thinking it through overnight, I decided to give Super Geeks a chance to work their magic.
One of the Super Geeks came by my home to pick up my computer and I explained the situation.
Couple of days later, they came back and set up my repaired computer, explained what they did, and I tested my computer to make it sure it is now working.
Super Geeks did the following
- replaced the old hard drive to a new SSD (solid state drive)
- replaced the CMOS battery
- add an additional 4GB of memory
- cleaned out malware
- made sure all the apps from the old hard drive has transferred to my new SSD hard drive
