Hello wonderful1, yes I can fix my computer. I know a lot about computer for its my work. I assemble, upgrade, install my own computer so I don't have any problem with it. I have been doing it for a very long time and once took a crash course on computer hardware and software troubleshooting.

i guess you are a boy, because most of boys can fix their own computers. besides, is it right to use 'fix'? i see you use 'install'.

Hello wonderful, For me, it depends actually "fix" I used it when there's an error or something is wrong then it need to be fix. Install is when your gonna put something up or in your computer e.g. o.s., softwares. etc.. I think there is nothing wrong with the way you used it. :-)

I could actually fix my own computer. Fixing hardware is never a field of mine... but I am compelled to do such studying in fixing my PC to be able to save money! and of course, I do not want other people to be touching my PC. I also am avoiding people who changes my hardware with another hardware of low quality when they fix it...

I can't remember life without a computer, my dad even has the first laptop ever created. (don't ask me why they even call it a laptop, it weighs more than my current build). I've never bought a Ready-PC from a shop. I always shopped around for parts and the best prices, so i always put it together myself. It would be a shame if i cant fix it now after so many builds, rebuilds and benchmarks!

Computers are second nature to me, as I run my own pc repair company. Which I have done for 5 years now, Wonderful1 there are ebooks and tutorials on the internet that can teach you how to sort your own computer out, that would shock your boyfriend ;)

Tes, I can usually sort out a problem with the computer whether it is a hardware or software issue. It is of great importance to be able to deal with these situations. As an example, I recently had to purchase a new graphics card because the previous one seemed to have developed a fault. The cost of a new graphics card is far less that it would be to pay someone to repair the computer, and it is also much quicker to install my own.

Yes, I can. I have been using a pc since 1995 and now I have some experience with that. It is not a very nice work but I can save money if you can fix your computer by yourself.
