What's Wrong Here?

motherboardTake a look at this photo. Click to enlarge. Can you spot what is wrong?

If your desktop computer is doing some unexplained items like shutting off, not booting up every time, freezing up, etc. then take a look at your motherboard. If your capacitors (the tall green componets in photo) look similiar to ones in photo then you have motherboard issues.

Contact us to see if we think your motherboard is worth trying to replace those defective capacitors. We have done several successfully.

This Month's Tip 

canned airIncrease the life of your destop computer for only small amount of money and time.

With your computer off, open the cover (or side panel). Using a can of "compressed air", blow out any dust buildup that may be on your fans or heatsinks.  This will allow air to better cool your processor. When your processor runs cooler it will normally last longer as well as run more efficiently.

We have seen computers that had so much dust build-up that the computer would not boot up.
