A new OS (Operating System) has arrived for Intel/AMD processor based computer systems, Windows 7. With Vista a failure until the SP 2 (service pack 2) Microsoft has put support for XP on the fast track and will be available for the foreseeable future.

All the steps are here at  DIY Computer Repair:

Troubleshoot the problem Desktop or Laptop -

Before you can do your repair you need to find out the exact reason for the problem your computer has encountered. There are a few ways to do the troubleshooting, you could research your problem on line (such as this web site), you could read some repair manuals (such as the ones I write), or you could use a troubleshooting checklists such as one of these free checklists.

Research the repair -

Research the problem for possible repair options. If it is hardware such as a hard drive, video card, or even a motherboard research the new part needed to replace the failed part (you may find a replacement part of higher quality at a lower price). In most cases replacing a part means installing the part then updating the drivers for the new part. In other cases you may have to reinstall the Operating System.

Doing the actual repair -

Before you start your self computer repair you should consider the work area, the safety aspect, and your repair technical literature.

You should have ample room to open your computer with out obstruction and be able to reach the part you are working on comfortably. That is on a table not under it, not bent over looking inside the computer. If you are uncomfortable while working you could drop a tool, a fastener, or even damage a part that you are taking out to get to the failed part.

You should be aware of ESD (Electro Static Discharge) and take precautions to avoid causing unnecessary damage to your computer parts.

When you take a failed part out of your computer treat it as if it is still a working part, that is don't destroy the part when you remove it. Always keep your parts until the repair is complete, if the new part works, and proves that the removed part has failed.

 


Please have a look around the DIY Computer Repair web site for what you need to help you complete your repairs, upgrade your computer, optimize your OS for maximum performance, build a custom pc, or just figure out why your computer is doing something you don't like.

Maybe you are looking for a way to do something out of the ordinary check the How To... section. BSOD or Blue Screen Of Death, a Stop Error, find out how to fix these in the Self Computer Repair Unlieashed! Manual.

Or a free e-course to advance your computing experience.
