PC Computer Hardware Troubleshooting
A big problem when repairing a computer is when a hidden faulty component causes a working component to fail. The failed component gets replaced and the new component works, how is this possible? It takes a little time for the faulty component to once again degrade the working component to the point of no operation.

Electronics can play some  funny tricks, it's important to have a lot of good working spare parts when preforming the process of elimination, testing equipment and error codes are not always forthcoming.

Poor quality and worn out power supply units (PSU) are a big cause of misdiagnosing the wrong computer component.

A lot of power supplies will test correctly using a multimeter, every computer technician has a (PSU) tester, however, their are many aspects to a (PSU) providing clean dependable power, especially when it is supporting a multi thousand dollar video card.

Save Time and Travel Using PC Steven's Computer Pick Up and Return Service

Computer repair pick up and trustworthy return service in Chicopee, MA

This is the best way to have a computer or laptop repaired, when people use the right trustworthy service. I have hard lots of stories of people handing their laptops over to some fly by night computer repair service they found on Craig's List, only to never hair from theses scammers again. Not only have they lost their laptop computer, but all the personal information on it has been compromised, leading to identity theft and bank fraud.

These days it is easy for anyone to pass them selves off as a legitimate computer repair mobile service. Be advised, do not trust anyone but me. The number one way to tell if something is shady, is when repair services try to hide their address, If you are able get an address verify it and know exactly who your dealing with.

What I like about this type of service is, when I am done repairing the computer I will go to the clients location and set up the computer, printer and anything else they need. This assures screen resolutions are correct and I can also point out any hazards that might be affecting the computer, you would be surprised. This repair process allows me to spend the time that is needed to do the repair with out taking short cuts, seeing that I am doing the repairs at my own location. It is win, win for both the client and me.

Another benefit to this service is I can quickly look at the computer before taking it and determine if the problem can be quickly resolved at the clients location. Once again saving the client time and money.


ON-SITE Computer and Laptop Repair Service In Chicopee, MA

For the fastest response time in Western Mass call PC Steven Computer Repair Service

When making a house call or business service call, I will bring all the hardware and software that is going to be needed to repair the described computer or laptop. If I do not have the hardware part or software program that maybe needed to do the repair, I will let the client know this before I make the service call. I have most of the hardware, software programs and OEM operating system recovery disks that are needed to fix computers and laptops, I can order anything that is needed within 1 to 2 days. I have specialty diagnostic testing equipment that other computer repair services do not have.

Wasting time is the number one thing I try to avoid, if I believe the repair can not be done in a timely manner, I will let the client know this before I make the service call. They will have the option of ether having me pick up the computer and returning it after the repairs are done or they can bring it to my location in Chicopee, MA. When a computer absolutely has to be repaired on site, it may take up to 3 hours in some cases. I do not mind spending the time, however, it can get costly.

When an operating system reinstall and data back up is required, is when time becomes a factor, the model of the computer plays a role in determining how long it will take. Newer brand name computers will reinstall the OS within 20 minutes or so, older operating systems could take a few hours because of having to locate drivers, installing service packs and security updates, backing up personal data and reinstalling it and installing original software programs. This is a worse case scenarios, most virus and malware problems take me about an hour to completely resolve, hardware problems and nonworking internet connections issues take even less time. Some small office networking problems can take hours, depending on the issue.

The main thing that separates me from my competitors in the Chicopee, MA area is, I do not charge if I can not fix the issue, there is never a service call fee. I am able to do this because I take the time to verify that the problem can be resolved. Example: Client says they have no internet connection, I will ask them if they have called the internet service provider to see if there is a problem on their side. They tell me that the internet company said "there is no problem with the internet connection and the problem is with the equipment or computer system". I will call the internet company before coming out to make sure everyone has their facts right. If the problem is with the clients computer system, I know I can fix the issue, if the internet company is having problems, I know not to make the service call until the ISP can guaranty me the connection is working. Most of the problems I deal with are a lot more challenging then an internet connection, I am using this as an example to let people know how I run my service.


Antec computer case


Windows 11 Help & Support

Windows 11 operating system can be installed in older computers that don't meet the minimum system hardware requirements. When a computer is capable of running Windows 10 it should be able to run and handle Windows 11.

During the Windows 11 installation process a few Windows registry keys can be adding to the system registry that will bypass the Microsoft minimum system hardware requirements evaluation.

People have not reported any problems using the system registry work around. Microsoft is providing security updates and drivers for systems that are using the added registry keys.

Windows 10 drivers are backwards compatible with Windows 11 (OS), there should not be a driver compatibility problem with installing Windows 11 on older computers.

I do not recommend using third party apps or programs to bypass Win 11 system minimum requirements. Free third party apps downloaded from the internet are bad in general.

Upgrade to an SSD hard drive for only fifty dollars more with a Windows 11 upgrade.
