Troubleshooting Your PC in easy steps
Upgrading & Repairing PCs in easy steps focuses mainly on how to keep a PC at the cutting-edge by explaining how and when to replace or add new components.
The book starts with a discussion on when it is necessary to upgrade a part and explains the various buying options (OEM, online, stores, etc) with the pros and cons. We also look at related issues, such as warranties and common scams, such as bundled software.
It then looks at all the various aspects of a PC, i.e. performance, storage, networking, etc, and examines the relevant components. For example, how CPU's and RAM affect the PC's performance. It explains what these parts do and how they work.
All important component specifications are explained to enable you to buy an upgrade that will be adequate for the required purpose. At the end of each chapter an illustrated guide is provided to show clearly how to install each component.
The final chapter provides a troubleshooting guide that explains the common faults introduced by upgrading and how to correct them
Stuart Yarnold is an electronics engineer who has been working in the industry since leaving college. Originally a marine radio & radar troubleshooter, he now devotes much of his time to playing poker professionally and can usually be found lurking in one of the online poker rooms.
Stuart lives near Cambridge with his wife Pauline and his two Staffordshire bull terriers - Jim and George. His hobbies include woodworking and marathon running.
