Looking for help to fix a computer in south florida

[torcator]

So guys,
I know that everybody will hate me for this post..
I'm as experts as you are but I've been with computers since I can remember...
I have the skills and the knowledge to do it.

But unfortunately on this period of time in my life I prefer to use my spare time in different things, and also I don't have the patience that I've used to have a few years ago.

So this is the situation, I have a home made built computer at home that has some problems, may be the motherboard or the video card is not working propertly... I know how to isolate the problems and fix it.. but again this requires time and I prefer to use this time for something else and hire somebody to do it.

The issue is that, there are a so many people on the market... and I want to hire somebody with knowledge and expertise to relay on.

So, does anyone from this forum works in south florida, specially close to fort lauderdale?
please let me know.

thanks...
Ariel.

try uninstalling and reinstalling your video card drivers its really simple and more than likely will solve the issue there are some games and stuff that are out that are causing crashes .. namely bf4 at the moment.

its easy though with windows 7 click on start / then control panel then / programs and features / find what ever driver you have installed / say amd or invidia / uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them with the latest drivers from the perspective websites.

short of dropping water on it or having a noticeably blown VRM or other part on your motherboard its more than likely fine. possibly replacing the power supply or backing up and doing a fresh install would be a better option. I wish I was in florida its freezing cold here in indiana.

thanks, but the situation is worst than that...
some times boots and sometimes doesn't, that's why I think its the motherboard...

I've already reset it and still.. the thing is this.. I know that I could isolate each product and test it, but this will take me a lot of time, so I do prefer to hire somebody to do it for me...

sorry I'm a slacker and dont know any one in florida what I would say is. if your using an ssd drive as your start up drive it could be going bad. they tend to get unstable then fail completely with no recovery options. Any way I hope you can find your solution. It could be a simple RMA to the manufacturer. but for the computer to start up at all I doubt its a motherboard issue. maybe overclocking / heat-sink has to much dust in it. possibly bad ram even. I understand your frustration though. good luck.

thanks a lot... from your picture I assume that you are much younger than me...
and believe me that a few years ago I wouldn't leave home until I get a solution...
what you mention make a lot of sense....

what is weird is that I've already disconnected everything but the power source, motherboard, memory and cpu... some time is boot and some time it doesn't...

getting older sucks... jaja
