For instance, when your desktop runs out of room, you can upgrade the hard drive to a larger one. Or better still, upgrade to an SSD (Solid State Drive), which is one of the best performance boosts an older computer can get.Also, some older devices do not have enough RAM to run modern programs and operating systems. For normal use we recommend 4GB and for heavy use you will need a minimum of 8GB, so your computer can run to its full potential. We can upgrade any part of your computer or laptop and have listed a few popular PC upgrades below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nomargin\">The majority of <a href=\"https:\/\/mdcomputers.com.au\/computer-laptop-repairs\/\">computer and laptop repairs<\/a> can generally be completed within an hour.

As a result, you will extend life of your device and save money over time on replacement costs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep your device well ventilated to prevent overheating due to limited air flow. Also have it serviced regularly at least once a year to clean and remove dust and fibres. This will allow air to flow freely so it isn\u2019t restricted or blocked.<\/li>\n<li>Use a surge proctor to protect against power surges which are most commonly caused by lightning strikes.<\/li>\n<li>Impact damage due to a fall is a common causes of hard drive failure, see this <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hard_disk_drive_failure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wikipedia page<\/a> for more information. For laptops use a padded hard-shell case to protect against this type of mechanical damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"nomargin\">A <strong>computer upgrade<\/strong> may not be possible in some cases, due to age of the device and availability of parts. If you are thinking of getting a new computer or laptop rather than upgrading your old one, you can trade it in.
