Upgrading & Fixing PCs For Dummies

Here's the ideal plain-English reference for computer do-it-yourselfers. Upgrading & Fixing PCs For Dummies, 4th Edition, guides you step-by-step to figuring out what's broken and how to fix it. With these easy-to-follow instructions from computer guru Andy Rathbone, you'll be able to take care of all those nagging problems and install all the hardware you need, whether it's more memory for a RAM-hungry machine or a faster modem for surfing the Internet.

Upgrading & Fixing PCs For Dummies guides you through the troubleshooting process to divine what's wrong with your PC and why it's acting in strange and inexplicable ways, and then this book gives you instructions for fixing whatever ails your computer.
