This may be a familiar scene to some of us out there. The first thing we normally do is to summon our colleagues from the IT department to solve the problem. What if you are all by yourself with no one to come over to help you? It is your turn to get your hands down to work to find a solution to the problem and get your Windows up and running again.

This can only be looked into from two ways: Hardware or Software. The hardware part might involve wrongly inserted, faulty, or incompatible RAM modules being used, or a large area of bad sector on a hard disk drive. Each component should be checked thoroughly and some might even find it a tiny part on the motherboard being faulty or simply because the power cord behind the computer is not connected! The professionals at the Haddonfield Computer Repair can certainly help you with that.

Solving hardware problems is as simple as replacing faulty modules with working ones or rearranging RAM modules. Software problems may be caused by non-working software either missing a crucial file of the operating system or loosing a crucial boot file. One such example is the MBR or better known as Master Boot Record which is the common fault for non booting Windows.

It only takes a few minutes of reinstalling the Master Boot Record that is available with the Microsoft Windows OS CD to solve the problem. Simply pop the CD in and select ‘Repair Windows’ and let the

CD do its job. Or simply let us at the Haddonfield Computer Repair help you with that.

The need to format a PC still depends on how serious the PC problem is. A system re-format involves wiping out the system’s hard drive and re-installing a brand new operating system. This is a heavy effort action and is not an ideal solution for some cases.

A typical virus or system attack to a PC will render a PC to a state where user will find it impossible to proceed with any normal activities with the PC - either system interruptions will happen frequently or not being able to make any action to the system. Haddonfield  Computer Repair can help you to clean any virus attack as well.

Re-formatting a system is recommended if the system is able to take in any user command such as deleting infected files or faulty programs. If the system does not have crucial data in it and the user feels that it is OK to format a PC regardless of losing data, then a re-format is worth to be done.

In some other cases such as a system can be booted to Safe Mode and still able to control the PC, it is recommended to fix the PC using virus removal tool or registry editing tool. As crucial data can still
be accessed and transferred, it is also recommended to retrieve precious data before proceeding to format or not.

Finally, it is the long and troublesome effort of reformatting a PC that usually stands in the way of users whether to reformat or not. You can leave this tiresome task to the Haddonfield  Computer Repair. It is still recommended to do frequent backups so that precious data are not lost due to system crashes.
