5 Signs Your Laptop or Desktop Needs Repair

5 Signs Your Laptop or Desktop Needs Repair

Computers usually warn you before they fail. Look out for these five signs.

1. Loud fan or overheating

Dust and failing fans cause heat damage.

Fix: Clean the vents and get the fan checked.

2. Clicking noises

Often a failing hard drive.

Fix: Back up immediately and consider an SSD upgrade.

3. Blue screens or crashes

Can mean faulty memory, drivers or storage.

Fix: Update drivers and get a hardware diagnostic.

4. Battery won't hold charge

Laptop batteries wear out over time.

Fix: Replace the battery rather than the whole laptop.

5. Very slow startup

Old drives and too little memory slow everything.

Fix: An SSD and RAM upgrade can make it feel new.
