The Truth About PC Repairs: 90% of Problems Aren’t What You Think

When your PC crashes, won’t boot, or slows down, your first thought is often: “It’s dead, I need a new one.” But here’s the shocking truth: 90% of issues aren’t hardware failures at all — they’re simple fixes most shops don’t bother to explain.

Section 1: Common Misdiagnoses

• “My hard drive is dead” → Often it’s just corrupted files or Windows failing to load.

• “My graphics card is fried” → Sometimes it’s just a driver update.

• “The motherboard is gone” → Could just be a loose cable or faulty RAM.
