Whizzbits

We can support and service most makes of desktop or laptops on the market today such as Dell, HP, Compaq, Packard Bell, Toshiba, Mesh and Acer etc. Typical work carried out includes upgrade/replacement of hard drive, memory, CPU, graphics card, motherboard, dvd-rom. More specific to laptops, we can swap out faulty/broken keyboards, LCD screens, repair power connectors and screen invertors.

One of the most common annoyances for home users is when their computer becomes infected with a virus. This often decreases performance and causes issues with accessing the internet, not to mention numerous fake anti-virus programs opening on the screen which are usually hard to close down or remove. We can normally remove these infections without the need to fully reinstall Windows and all your programs, which takes a long time and can be very disruptive to your computer usage. We can also advise and install software to help prevent the reoccurence of future infections if required.

Having trouble installing the router your broadband provider sent to you or want to make sure your wireless setup is secure? Just give us a call and we can arrange to come in and install at a convenient time for you. We also supply routers, ethernet and wireless adapters and can set these up for you if needed along with any other networking requirements such as sharing folders, drives, printers and other resources between multiple devices.

Whizzbits have many years experience supporting the following Microsoft Windows operating systems (95/98/NT/2000/XP/Vista/Win7) as well as server based technologies such as Windows NT4 Server, 2000, 2003 and 2008. We provide support for common problems such as driver issues, corrupt system files, application installation and the dreaded blue screen of death (BSOD). Other tasks include reinstalling Windows, upgrading to a later operating system and even migrating an existing install to a new or larger hard disk.

If your computers performance has degraded over time, i.e Windows is slow starting up or shutting down then we can give your system a complete health check to make sure all software/hardware is working correctly. Typically this includes anti-virus and spyware scans, a defrag of the hard disk, check the memory for errors, internal and external cleaning of the case including all fans (new CPU/heatsink thermal grease if required to stop your processor from over-heating). We will also check components such as CD/DVD drives and hard disks are functioning correctly and advise on any problems found and what action should be taken to resolve them.
