Hey just wondering if someone could point me in the way or be willing to come and fix my PC for me, im willing to pay but dont agree with the $90 p/hour most mobile PC companies charge, i dont wanna format my Hard Drive coz i got alot of personal material on there. i cant backup coz it crashes after 10 mins and runs like an absolute pig. I can pay you in cash, alcohol or foodstamps.

Thanks

If you do want a professional to fix it.. Clever Computers - He won't charge you unless the problem is fixed, and will be honest about things.

$72/hour + he can do pickup and delivery. Colin knows his stuff..

how about give us some details?

if its crashing after a short period, its most likely heat related

take the side of hte case off and point a pedestal fan in there and see if that helps

unplug everything, take everything appart and clean it

make sure all your fans are spinning

so many easy things you can do yourself . . . .

im not really fussed if its a professional job or someone who knows there stuff as long as its fixed i spose. The problems i see is it comes up with a warning saying windows has recovered from a serious error. i click ok then it comes up again and again and again until its says windows has to close in 1:00. i have 2 viruses on it from other morons using my PC aswell. Thanks for the help so far

I can do it for you but im in SE brisbane underwood, all good software at your disposal helps, I say software problem, Either being viruses or spyware/Adware, First step is usually go into safe mode, Goto run and then type"msconfig" then goto startup tab and untick the items that you dont know about, usually able to distinguish whats what it doesnt take a genius, then move to the services tab down the bottom click hide all microsoft services and then usually untick the services that are present in there that are unknown to you. Then click applie and ok.

Restart then go back into normal operation, If you know torrents get adaware professional from torrentspy.com, install that then get the latest updates for the defs file, After installed run ad-watch then run adaware and do full system scan, clean the hell computer up a tad, Best done with disabled network. once that is done you may be right. Then again most people still have the "System Restore" Function still enabled so you could always restore back to a previous date. Bloody n00bs on computers i tell ya. Also easiest way to avoid these things is dont look at those "Naughty" sites and crack sites and serialz sites then you would be fine. Plus theres other tools like reghack that can help as well and alot of other tools, just check www.9down.com, it will be your friend for life with torrentspy, isohunt, and vcdquality and all sorts.

Oooops forgot one crucial point here, clear your cache your cookies your history, then gointo documents and settings your profile local settings and the temp folder delete everything out of that bloody temp folder thats where most problems lie

Hope that helps

or goto control panel administrative tools, then goto services sort by name locate RPC "Remote Procedure call" and one at a time for the locator first screen select manual in start up type, then in recovery tab select for all the failure tabs take no action, and for the RPC (blank) leave start up type alone goto recovery tab and same thing for the failures and apply and ok, then goto http://www.autopatcher.com/downloads/ then download your relevant updates, Thankyou

You can do the suggestions above and it MAY fix it, but I worked in IT for years fixing the darn things and they are never 100%.

My professional opinion is to organise all you personal files, photos, etc and back them up to DVD or another hard drive.

Then format the hard drive with a Windows re-install.

Sure you have to load up all the software again and it takes time, but most of the software may be outdated or irrelevant now, but you'll be better off for it.

It's cheaper than paying for a tech at $70+ p/hr too.

ill fix it for you, $50 in fule either way (im in brisbane so thats very leniant as I drive a GTR) and then $30 an hour till its fixed.
