Do you maintain your computer by own - software and hardware acts like reinstalling windows, changing parts of your Pc, overclock It? Or you count on technical service when something mess happens

I maintain and repair my own computer, I'm a computer repairer and builder... so I know very well how to repair computers at hardware or software level, even all my friends an family always ask me when they have a problem with their computers and I like to help them, but the part I don't like is all them want I repair the computers for free :(

I repair my PC too. Actually, many my friends ask me for help, when they have problems. But many people without knowledge haven't big choice.

That is one of the reasons why I should not leave my husband. I'm so dependent on him when something happens to the computer. I don't want to pay coz sometimes technicians would charge you a lot. My hubby is my personal technician. We never pay not even the soft wares....ooops....illegal. But at least it's free and it's only personal hehe.

I prefer to fix it myself, because I burn my own computer because someone put a tin in the motherboard.The valuable lesson for me to be more careful when installing equipment, and must be in a state not connected to the electricity.

Maintenance cost for PC is always a cost issue with regards to hardware and some technical services. I try as much to learn to do some minor troubleshooting through friends, forums and usually googling on the web on how to fix problems. Everytime i go for technical services, i always look into how the my PC is fixed and asking a lot of questions; a very informative learning process... Now, i can fix my pc, either software or hardware, and occasionally earning on the side fixing other computers..

I am not an expert to computers, but I do my best to learn how to fix it when I get some technical problems. So far I only encounter some minors problem, and I just research online, or with my husband's guidance and I fix it. I also do the reinstalling of windows. But I think when it comes to hardware problem, I would still prefer to bring it back to where I bought to be sure I won't break it furthermore.

I never let anyone else touch my computer. If there's a problem with it, I fix it personally and I usually get the job done. I look into every single purchase and I do my own research, sometimes asking friends and what not about suggestions. Other than that, my computer, my repair, I rely on no one else for it.
