What is so Special About Desktop Computers?

Compared to other models, desktop computers are often more powerful, more functional, and even more user-friendly. Thanks to their larger bodies, easier airflow capabilities, and more advanced cooling components, desktop computers don’t get as hot as laptops. This is a big deal since overheating is one of the main issues that faces today’s computers. Because the desktop has more space and resources to handle the excess heat, however, it’s less likely to break down if it gets too hot.

What’s more, desktop computers are also faster, more capable, and more functional thanks to their larger memory and larger processors.

These things, combined with the attractive appearance and multi-functionality of most desktops, has made them a consumer favorite! While it may be true that the desktop isn’t as portable as a tablet or laptop, it makes up in convenience, functionality, and reliance what it lacks in portability.

The 3 Most Common Issues in Desktop Computer Repair 

While many things can go wrong with a desktop computer, the following three issues are the most common ones we see:

1. Malfunctioning or worn-out power supplies

2. Motherboard issues or complete motherboard failure

Motherboard failure can be devastating to your desktop computer. If your desktop computer isn’t starting correctly or is booting up but then powering down spontaneously, contact our team to schedule an appointment or an in-house repair visit.

3. Hard drive meltdowns and failures
