Diagnostics

In most cases, the problem is obvious but sometimes working out the cause is more complicated. Sometimes it is not obvious whether a problem is hardware or software-related. We will diagnose your problem and fix it.

Software faults

Before we can fix a software problem, we have to understand what it is, which means gathering information from the user, including symptoms and errors. We then “work the problem” until it is solved. Solving these problems can be upgrades, patches, settings or reinstalls. Sometimes if there is no “fix”, then a workaround can be found. Software faults are usually investigated and fixed remotely.

Hardware faults

Faulty disk drives and power supplies are the most common faults in desktop computers. The nature of laptops means they are more prone to physical damage. Broken screens, keyboards and hinges are very common but broken power connectors and failed batteries are also everyday problems. In the event of hard disk failure, we will replace the drive and reinstall your software. We recommend replacing failed disks with solid-state drives which will drastically improve performance and speed up the rebuild process. A solid-state drive will extend the working life of any computer.

If a computer is beyond economical repair we will recover your data and copy it to your new machine. Data recovery can be a long process, so we typically undertake this work at our office.

Computer Upgrades

We also upgrade computers which typically means memory and disk upgrades. Installing more memory and Solid State Drives is an excellent way to get more life from an existing machine. Windows 7 has reached the end of its life and is no longer under support from Microsoft. Computers that are running Windows 7 and are working well can be upgraded to Windows 10 and still retain user settings. Upgrading saves the time-consuming tasks of reinstalling programmes and restoring data. There are no licencing costs for this upgrade.

Quality parts

Atomik.biz uses quality parts from reputable suppliers, and these parts will usually have a warranty from the manufacturer.
