A slow computer can have many causes: too many startup programs, a failing hard drive, malware running in the background, low RAM, or a cluttered operating system. Instead of guessing, I diagnose the exact problem and fix it right there at your desk.

Slow Computer Fix FAQ

Why is my computer so slow?

Common causes include too many startup programs, malware, a failing hard drive, low RAM, or Windows update issues. I diagnose the exact cause during the $10 diagnostic visit.

Will an SSD make my computer faster?

In most cases, yes — an SSD is the single biggest upgrade for a slow computer. Boot times drop from minutes to seconds. I install SSDs at your home, parts at cost.

How long does it take to fix a slow computer?

Most slow computer fixes take 1-2 hours, including diagnosis. Simple cleanups can be done in an hour; an SSD upgrade takes about an hour for the swap plus data migration.

How much does it cost to fix a slow computer?

$10 up-front diagnostic fee (waived if you proceed with repair), $50/hr for the fix (1-hour minimum). Most slow PC repairs cost $50-$100 total, depending on the cause.
