last night, i go to computer technician, with my PC. because my computer is always rebooting and rebooting every time i open it. but before i go to computer technician, i ask some of my friends, on how i can fix it. they say that i need to reformat it. some says that, i need to open pc and see the ram if its okay. then, i don't know on how i will open the pc and on how to reformat the pc. then i have decided to go to computer technician. and he just finish it without an hour. and I'm really confused what is wrong with the pc. and i'm walking through our City here with my pc. our car was out. and my father was not here. that's why i'm alone going to computer technician. i have waste my time and money.
what do you think is wrong with my pc yesterday?
was that easy?
happy mylotting!

Familiarity with computers make it seem like technicians are just breezing through things. It might just be that he knows what to check based on the symptoms that you provided. Most of the time, removing and reseating [other term for reconnecting] the components inside your computer could solve many problems. Even if you are not moving your computer from one place to another, there are times that components become loose or unseated, thus causing issues like that. Didn't the technician tell you what happened?

no. he didn't tell me, he just gave me back my PC fix. and he indicated on the receipt is "REPROGRAM" so, i think he just reformat it and put oS and antivirus. as easy as that.

Did you plug in a different hard disk than what was earlier. It happened to me when i plugged in my hard disk to another computer. It was because there was a driver conflict. I have installed the drivers for my motherboard so it kept on restarting even before the windows booted because it is a different motherboard.

uh, maybe that's also the reason. but i don't know. my friend says to me the i need to unplug the ram or hard disk. but i don't know how to unplug it. that's why, i go to computer technician, to do it for me.

There are several possibility,
Firstly, it could be a problem with your RAM or just maybe your RAM not fix enough into the socket.
Secondly, there are a bad sector in you hard drive and need to be fix.
Thirdly, the OS loading corrupted file when booting.
and there are more to go..............
My suggestion is, if your are not having a technical know how, you better take your computer to technician. Is not as easy as it look, there are a lot of analytic thinking should be done.

Sometimes they just know what they are doing. I dont know enough about computers to say what was wrong with it but if its working fine now then the problem was fixed. It was not a wasted time or money. My brother a computer tech always fixes my pc in a matter of minutes. Amazing but true.
