Computer Hardware Maintenance Narre Warren North

CMSS – Narre Warren North – Taking care of your Computer for you.

Real-life Case

The customer brought in the computer complaining that the computer kept switching off randomly. It also was very noisy as well as producing artifacts and weird stuff on the screen.
Opening up the box showed the reason.
Overheating due to clogged up CPU and power supply cooling systems!
Fluff and dust inside ⇒ Instability~Auto-Switching off computer.
We’ll bring it back to like when it first came out of the box for you!

Call: 8790 4460.

Regularly cleaning up the cooling components of a computer is extremely important for maintenance of reliability and performance. Computers are working machines, and just like cars and such require regular maintenance and upkeep. Hardware and software wise.

It is therefore very important to maintain the work environment as free as possible from dust and fluff, sometimes a real challenge.
Note that it is practically impossible to completely ward off the dust and fluff, pet hair, from getting inside the computer. The fans within suck air in and create pressure to expel the heat. However the static electricity inside also attracts dust and fluff particles compounding the problem.

A thoughtful approach for the work area can also help reduce generating problems in the first place. Some careful placement choices can make a tremendous difference.

A computer placed off the floor (preferably on top of the desk) will be less prone to sucking in all the particles floating around on the floor under the desk.

Keep it out of direct sunlight (especially in warmer seasons), away from heaters/heating outlets, anything that would add unnecessary heat to it.

Some desks designed to hide the computer in a closed off cavity are just a very bad idea! Looks neat, but the poor machine needs fresh air to breath! And a way to vent off the hot air. And those closed off cavities are nearly impossible to keep clean.

Cleaning it up

The care of your computer at Narre Warren North – CMSS involves using compressed air, brushes and patience as well as T.LC. This applies to laptops and all-in-one PCs as well.
Benefits will be stability, reliability and performance, as well as a cooler and quieter computer.

Notes

If cleaning it up did not restore full performance (degraded components) we can repair/upgrade as required.

And if we got the machine too late (this happens too), we can make sure you data is safe and secure.

Anybody who has been using computers for a few years would have experienced the heart sinking feeling you get when faced with an error message such as: ‘Hard disk failure is imminent, backup your data’ or ‘You need to format the drive before you can use it’, etc.
And your whole business data is in there, or the last five years worth of family photos ~ maternity/birthdays/holidays are in there.

Never say: ‘I quickly whip this out of the computer for you!‘ That’s when you find out these machines aren’t reliable at all.
Computers were supposed to make the job easier, more sophisticated and professional. But they always let us down at the worst moment. As anything else nowadays, computers breakdown too! Parts die, software get corrupted because of a million reasons. You don’t need to do anything special to get into troubles.

Clients always think they’ve done something wrong to bring along the problem, but it’s not usually the case. People have come to think that the machines cannot go wrong, they forget those machines are designed and built by humans. As the saying goes: ‘We are only humans and not perfect‘ therefore we make mistakes. Yes we can strive for the best possible outcomes, nevertheless there will be imperfections. All computers, be they Mac or Windows based will give you grief some day or another because someone else made a mistake. And sometimes the mistakes could be intentional, such as planned/designed obsolescence.

That’s when you need help to fix the problem so you can complete your commitments and tasks. CMSS - SEO Logo

IT Problems Technical Support

IT Problems Technical Support ~ All this computer stuff is way over my head. I just want to turn it on, read my email and print out some recipes, or my payment records. How on earth do they expect me to make sense of all these things?

Confusing stuff

Things keep popping up asking me if I want to install this, update that, restart the computer, etc. How am I supposed to know whether this is required or not? Why do I have to restart the computer anyway? And these updates, is it just another way to get more money out of me? I don’t want to keep paying for things I might not need anyway. IT Problems Technical Support - Home Users Technical Help

And with all these bad things you hear about, you see on TV about being careful. Do not open emails if you don’t know who sent it. Don’t install things willy-nilly cause a lot of these are just tricks to con you and invade your privacy and steal your stuff. Except for some photos and my music, I don’t really have anything to get stolen. Should I worry about it? How would your everyday Joe Bloke make sense of all these?

I’m not stupid but all these computer speak, why don’t they just call things like everybody does. Speak  simple English. You see all these fancy words, and it just doesn’t make sense.

The printer the other day, went to print and something popped up about a paper jam. It’s a brand new pack of paper.

Does this mean it’s cactus already and I need to buy another printer? I don’t do that much printing anyway and the day I want to use it this comes up!
I just don’t have the time to learn all these things, can they just make it simple for us non techies?

New device issues

Got this new phone, fair enough the guy at the shop set it up and it’s working fine. I’m not technical at all, but I’ve taken photos that I’d like to put into the computer. And then delete them off the phone. Sounds like an IT problem I’d need help with. Do you do this kind of stuff?

I used to connect my camera to the computer with the USB, a little pop up use to come up. I clicked on transfer, done. It no longer happens with the new computer. Really need to get the photos into the computer.

How do I get the emails on my new phone please? I get them on the computer fine but I was told I could get them on the phone as well?

I’ve got photos on the computer I want to email to some to relatives, but the computer is asking to choose a program. A bit frustrating!

 

Stress at Work – How to Reduce?

Posted on by cmss

There are so many factors that can raise tension and create stress at work even when one has been lucky enough to secure the ideal job!
Some people say: ‘I just enjoy so much what I’m doing, it doesn’t feel like work.’
Others dread just turning up at the same work. An experience that can be comparable to real sickness!
The reality is we are social animals, and work is one major means for contributing to society.
Work should also be contributing to our livelihood (our family needs, our personal needs, then society at large).
Not many of those people who feel ‘work is so much fun’ would gladly work for free when their essential needs (food, bills, healthcare, recognition, etc) had not been met.
Personal attitude
Regardless of which group we belong to, we all need to be mature enough to accept that what we are doing needs (in the vast majority of cases) to be done by somebody. So if we are the ones doing it, as the saying goes: ‘if it’s worth doing, do it at the best level you can’.
That just means putting value on what we’re doing, then giving it the best interest and attention we have. Human nature drives us to apply ourselves the best we can.
Someone once said: ‘even the staunchest pacifist will strive to do a better job whilst forced to work at a weapons production line’.
So once we’ve decided that we are going to work on that job, we need to start programming ourselves to accept it. As humans, we are born to learn. We can learn from somebody else. And we can also learn from ourselves and teach ourselves positive outlook and expectancy.
Being on the positive side will help us negate feeling like a defeated victim.
It’s not about being blindly positive. We need to take stock of our capabilities and limitations. Just about any limitation can be overcome through learning and positive expectation.
We are all different. So are our gifts. We all learn differently. The key here is that difference. That will help to accept ourselves (forget how the one next to us goes about things), our capabilities, and the way we learn and perform. Add some perseverance and positive outlook to that, and we sure will be able to soon feel comfortable doing that scary job.
So there is a lot we can do to help feeling us good about the job, no matter what it is. There is also a lot out of our control as well. Topics for future articles!
