When it comes to modern-day computers, the desktop is the powerhouse by which other styles are compared. Because of their large case, the desktop can fit more airflow and cooling components within it, which in turn allows for more powerful processors and memory to be used. Heat is the main problem for computers, and with ample space to deal with that heat, the desktop is always on the leading edge of new technology. As soon as that new graphics card or new processor comes out, you can be sure someone is upgrading it into their desktop.
The greatest part of the desktop is the standardization that has come along with it. For a while in its early years, manufacturers were building computers with different internal layouts. In 1995, Intel released the ATX standard which has remained strong ever since. This standardization means that your computer looks just about the same as anyone else’s on the inside. It also means part manufacturers and component manufacturers know exactly how their product will fit into a computer, yielding a diverse product range. The desktop computer is the most upgrade-able computer in the market today. That kind of customization allows for power packed desktops at great prices.
When it comes to desktop computer repair, most parts are accessible, and typically we carry in store. For the few special parts that we have to order, we expedite to ensure faster service completion. With some expert knowledge and some troubleshooting, we can find the specific problem for any desktop hardware issue. From there, we put our skills to work getting the problem fixed quickly and efficiently.
Most desktops are thought of synonymous with PCs, or Windows. However, the Apple Mac Pro is technically a desktop computer. Many programmers use other operating systems on a desktop computer, so it’s not universal that a desktop is also a Windows machine. When we talk about desktops, it’s the generalization of the towers which have become so common today. It could be a Mac Pro, a custom-built PC or a store-bought desktop. The design allows for easier access and testing of the components, meaning an all around better computer repair process.
If you are having some problems with your desktop computer, please give us a call and talk with one of our Village Computers technicians. We’re always happy to help!
Desktop repair is working on computers which are either towers, flat desk-top cases, custom-built PCs and even some servers. This type of repair is the most basic, in that all the internal components of a desktop are usually separated from each other, and are only connected by cabling. This means when one part goes bad, it’s fairly easy to replace the part and get the computer back in good working condition again. In the event that a desktop computer is not worth it to repair, we offer complimentary solutions to migrate your data to a new system purchased from Village Computers.
If your desktop isn’t working correctly, we can fix it. Village Computers will diagnose your system with our complimentary diagnostics and let you know of the price of repair before we proceed.
If your desktop computer is making a lot of noise, such as grinding, clicking, or whining – it’s telling you something is wrong. Much like a car, if something isn’t right, you notice it. In these cases, the best thing to do is to turn off the computer and let us take a look at the problem. Although it could be something as simple as a bad cooling fan, it could also be a problem with your hard drive, which if left untouched, can result in data loss. If you have any questions about desktop repair or would like to talk with us, please give us a call at (843)608-6560 and speak with one of our Village Computers technicians!
