Simply "adding" a IDE drive will not slow down a computer. But if you are an impatient man, understand any programs or files you install or save...
The problem with all these articles is they tend to be very generalized, or to the other extreme very specific to one particular notebook and...
Many, not just Radeon fans are "non-standard ". I would not call them proprietary, but rather generic in non-standard sizes. Standard graphics...
They are sealed to the extent they do not let dust in, or the grease/lubricant out. "Penetrating" oils are designed to and can seep in the...
Fans use sealed, permanently lubricated bearings and should NOT be oiled - ever! And certainly not with a "penetrating" oil which will break down...
Power supplies should not be "beeping ". They don't have speakers so I suspect it is a BIOS beep code indicating an error. Depending on the...
The problem with pins (any metal, actually) is when stressed is it gets "metal fatigue ". The metal develops microfractures that further weakens...

That's true for the dust issue, but connectors and pins on the back of monitors and other equipment are less likely to get damaged from physical...
I have to disagree - to a point. I ALWAYS keep and use them, and recommend you do too. Better cable makers include them not just to protect the...

You should not disable Windows Defender in W8 unless you have another antimalware solution installed and running. If this is due to indexing,...
Why do you believe the graphics card is bad? What are the symptoms? Bad graphics can be caused by many things, including the driver or the...
Probably not. And not many give free estimates either because fixing computers is easy. It is troubleshooting to determining the exact fault that...
Well, the power supply should be labeled to say what voltage its output is. But after that, like a notebook there will be internal power circuits...
If not told specifically what was tried, no way you would - therefore nothing to be sorry about. Let's hope it is something you can check.
What kind of power supply? Is it a DC transformer/power block, or an internal power supply? I note computers typically use 3 voltages, 12V, 5V,...
It is why I stopped using yahoo mail and yahoo search a long time ago. You do need Adobe Flash, but unlike previous versions, it is integrated...
After running CCleaner to delete all my temporary Internet files and cookies, I am not having any problems anymore, except with one site that is...
