Signs of a Computer Meltdown; revisited

It's time for us to bang the drum on this one again! How expensive would all your car repairs be if you always drove your car until it broke down!

Unfortunately, that's what most computer users do with their systems; drive it till it crashes!

When you hear strange noises or get warning lights on your car, you typically have someone check it out and if you start doing that with your computer, you will be much more likely to catch a problem before it turns into a major disaster.

The problem for most users is that they don't know what to watch for...

That's were the Data Doctors come to the rescue. Listen in as we discuss all of the various signs and clues that your computer might be headed for a meltdown and more importantly what to do when you see the signs!

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .
