aquarius19987 asked:


Ok, can someone help me with these computer problems? Here they are:

Problem 1: How can I learn what type of RAM my computer can have? My basement computer that I play The Sims on needs more RAM.

Problem 2: Can a hard drive fit into all computers, or do I need a certain type of hard drive for my computer?

Can someone please answer these questions?

I have used Disk Clean, Disk Defragment, and cleared out all my cookies and files. So why is my computer still freezing up? I need help please. I have no money for professional work, so I would like to do it myself with a free software or something.

I need some help with Computer problems?

June 12th, 2009

Dan M asked:


My friend dared me to take a bath with the computer, unplugged it of course. I thought nothing would happen. I took a bath with the computer. Afterwards, I tried to hook up the computer and it would not work. I figured that since it worked before I took a bath with the computer, that something bad happened to the computer while I took a bath. It simply will not turn on.

How can I fix this problem?

How much to charge for computer problems?

June 12th, 2009

christoph r asked:


I am trying to make money on the side and I am wondering about how much should i charge people to help with their computer problems and also backing up?

How much should I charge to back somebody’s computer files?

I can back them up two ways, One is by dvd’s and the other is adding their computer to my online automated mozy backup. Which they charge me $5 a month to back up my computer’s files. They charge an extra $5 a month for each computer added.

Then Also fixing people’s computer problems, I can pretty much fix any problem. Though of course I cannot guarantee it. But I am pretty good. (heck i built my first pc for the first time)

How much should I charge them to run a spyware program and stuff?

How much should I charge them to replace an item in their computer?

I know its a lot of questions but i just don’t know :D any suggestions?

I say i have a bit more then average knowledge of computers but definetly not a genius

o.O asked:


I jammed the on/off button on my computer.It was stuck and it made a weird noise like it was continuously starting up along with the flashing of light that tells you that the computer is busy.I unplugged it, opened up my computer, and unjammed the button.When i went back to turn on my computer it still made the weird noise and had the light flashing.I tried pressing and holding the button until it turned off but it wouldn’t turn off.Eventually i think it stopped because it burned out.I unplug it and plug it back in and the noise starts sounding again and the light flashing again.
