Computer Start-up Problems

Computer won't start? - We can repair your computer and in many cases even retrieve your valuable data. We appreciate the importance & value to you of the data that is stored on your computer. In the vast majority of cases we are able to recover most, if not all, of the data. Normally we will take the machine away to do this as it requires additional tools & network facilities that we have in the workshop.

Wired & Wireless Networking

If you've just added another machine & need it connected, we can do this using our fixed-cost service. If this is a wireless system and the Router is nearby, then this will be quite straightforward. If however the signal is insufficient to provide a reliable connection, there are other options and we can provide advice to you how best the solve this.

Data Backup, Disaster Recovery Systems and System Protection

If you have already experienced a catastrophic hardware failure such as a hard disc crash, data corruption due to a virus, or a computer hardware failure, then you’ll know how disruptive this this can be. These types of problems are remarkably common, particularly hard disc failures & computer viruses. For example, hard discs are mechanical components that have a finite life & hence will fail at some point.

To protect against this we can install simple and inexpensive backup and disaster recovery systems to protect crucial data and to recover the system in minimal time. Backups can be automated so that they take place during a period of low network usage, such as  overnight, or manually on demand. This means that the impact of a failure is limited, recoverable and we get you up & running again quickly.

With careful system design, even in the worst scenarios, your system can be operational again within a few hours. For businesses that rely on computers to operate, this is clearly essential.

It is essential to establish & maintain the security of the computers and networks in a system. This will comprise maintaining good wireless security, firewalls and internet security software.

The incidence of viruses and network hacking is ever-increasing, principally driven by more frequent use of computers for on-line purchasing, and hence the rise in quantity of financial data stored on computer systems.
