Troubleshooting PCs For Dummies

I use computers-a lot. Knowing how they work is a completely different subject.

Sure-I can do basic things like hooking up peripherals, downloading software, using some diagnostic tools, basic troubleshooting and the like. 
 
But, to tear into a PC, build one, fix one or understand and diagnose one-forget it!

It would be nice to understand how a PC works considering that I’m using one everyday. Unfortunately I never took a computer class-no time.

But, now that I’m retired it seems like a good time to dust off the old brain and tackle something new.

That’s why I’m glad that Wiley Brand released its Troubleshooting PCs For Dummies by Dan Gookin.

I can use all the help I can get and this book offers a ton of advice, direction and information my dusty old brain can manage.

It teaches how to diagnosis hardware and software issues, how to resolve problems, make old hardware run like it’s new, fixing startup and shutdown problems, navigating Windows, viruses, malware, etc. protection, storage and memory, network connection, speeding up processing time, peripheral and printer problem solving, dealing with system glitches and dozens of other inside and outside PC challenges.

Time to test the old brain cells and see what I can learn. This is a handy book to keep around and reference whenever there is a problem. I’ll always have it within reach.

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
