PC Repair
If you're asking "Who can fix my computer in Fresno?", you've found the right place. Alpha Solutions is based in Fresno and can solve any problems with software, hardware, virus infections, spyware/malware, the internet, printers, or any consumer electronic device that attaches to your computer. We have certifications from specific manufacturers and we are well versed and able to repair, service, update, or upgrade any computer.
Computer repair involves an in-depth series of diagnostics, troubleshooting, and follow-up. These repair procedures potentially include hardware and software diagnostics, hardware replacement, virus removal, operating system updates, software updates, and possibly a full system backup and re-installation.
Computer hardware (the internal electrical and mechanical pieces of the computer) must be analyzed to ensure it is all connected and communicating properly and that there are no degraded pieces. The hardware must function properly before the software can be repaired. Ironically, if a computer needs repair, the software is normally the first to be analyzed. There are plenty of instances where there is a power problem or a memory stick is beginning to fail. If the hardware is in fact, in need of repair, or a more in-depth repair is required, it is usually advisable to check with one of our computer technicians.
Computer hardware repair consists of analyzing several pieces:
- Motherboard: It is the foundation of any computer and handles communication between all internal and external hardware devices
- CPU: The central processing unit which controls how data is handled
- RAM: Random Access Memory. temporary storage for use by the operating system and running applications
- PSU: The power transformer that provides current to all of the internal devices
- BIOS: Basic Input Output System. Primary configuration which runs behind the scenes when booting your PC. It establishes communication of keyboard, power supply, storage controllers, video display controller, CD and DVD drivers, sound card devices which provide networking (modem, network card, etc).
With all of this in mind, most people find it better to consult a professional computer repair service to fix problems quickly and without damaging their computer.
Virus Removal
Your computer has been infected. You are losing time, convenience, and possibly business revenue because of this and certainly cannot afford it. Our technical ability to discover and rid your computer of viruses will save you time and money. For long term protection, we will recommend that an effective anti-virus program be installed on each computer you own. Alpha Solutions technicians can recommend and install such protection for you. We can also suggest and install effective anti-virus software for internet security.
Spyware Removal
We have extensive knowledge in the removal of spyware. Our professional diagnostic tools are capable of discovering every instance of these scripts and programs. We have years of computer service training and experience to call upon in order to remove any and all spyware your computer may be infected with.
Root Kit Removal
A rootkit is a collection of tools that are usually installed automatically when triggered by clicking on well disguised web or email links. A rootkit generally contains key loggers (so the infiltrator can access all programs), hacking tools, network sniffers, log-cleaning scripts, and Trojan infected replacements of core system utilities. Once access is gained, the ease-of-use and the amount of destruction that can be caused make rootkits a very serious and extremely dangerous problem. This is a commonly overlooked process at some computer repair shops.
Computer Cleanup & Maintenance
Alpha Solutions computer technicians specialize in computer repair, but also recommend computer and laptop cleaning.
Maybe your computer seems to be running pretty well and doesn't need a complete "repair". So why do you need the hardware of your home or business computer cleaned?
Dirt, dust, and lint are constantly being "inhaled" by fans into your computer (or laptop) as part of its cooling process. This dirt builds up on the cooling fans, blocks heat sinks, and acts as thermal insulation inside your computer. As your computer heats up, the fans will automatically increase their speed using more power in an attempt to keep the computer cool. If the system gets too hot, it will automatically shut down to preserve the processor.
Excessive heat may lead to inefficiency of hard drives, graphics cards, processors and memory, which are the main internal components of your computer. Keeping these components clean reduces the temperature and in most cases makes the system perform more like a new machine. It can also prolong the life of your computer.
Your computer may not need repair, but you may notice better performance after an inexpensive, professional, and thorough cleaning. In today's economy, wouldn't you prefer to increase the lifespan of your computer?
Data Recovery
When data appears to be lost or inaccessible, it becomes an emergency. Alpha Solutions technicians are experts in providing advanced data recovery services. We can recover data no matter how loss occurs — accidental deletion, hardware crash, corrupted data.
Backup Technology
Performing a regular backup of the critical files on your computer is one of the most important aspects of being a responsible computer user. Critical files include documents that you create as well as many other critical files that many people don’t recognize until they are missing. Backups are particularly important for educational research, financial or design data—data that can represent months or years of work, and that can be nearly impossible to recreate. Alpha Solutions has a low cost, simple to use, online backup system for taking care of this on a scheduled basis.
Operating System Installation
Alpha Solutions can upgrade your PC system to accommodate a new copy of Windows XP Pro or Windows 7. Get complete installation of your chosen operating system, bundled software, and applications for a much more reasonable price than purchasing them at retail and attempting to install them yourself. Custom installations or upgrades of office suites and other commonly used applications are also available. Operating System Upgrade Services include backup of common data for a low additional fee.
Business & Home Networking
Whether you are a homeowner, commercial business, or home-based small business owner, we can design and install a computer network that will suit your environment. We have years of experience designing and installing Microsoft home and business networks. Communication in understanding the needs of your network is critical before and recommendations are made. Once those are established, Alpha Solutions will design your network, install all necessary equipment, and test and verify its operation. Security and configuration of wireless connections are also included.
PC Tune-up Service
This is a commonly overlooked service that can actually add life span to a computer. It is similar to changing the oil in an automobile and can make your computer fun more efficiently. Our optimization methods are well planned and generally show a marked difference in the way application and the operating system respond.
Laptop Repair
We offer low priced quality repairs on various makes and models of computer notebooks and laptops. Alpha Solutions technicians are able to take care of all common laptop issues such as broken screens, worn out DC jacks, and a long list of issues specifically related to mobile computer repair.
