"Tech Guys"

I'd be the first to admit.
Fixing computers is hard. Very hard to be exact. Many things can go wrong and a common way to fix the computer is to buy a whole one entirely.

But you can basically classify the problem to a certain part.

If your brakes are not working in your car you look at the brake systems. Right?

Well thats not what happened to my mother.
She owns a HP Pavilion dv6000. Her network card seemed to had been malfunctioning.

She brought it into [Computer Store] and they looked at it.
There diagnosis?
More RAM and a virus checkup.

Totaling over $200.
Yeah.

Scam much?
Using the idea that viruses are out to eat your living soul and cause your name to be changed to Reggie they feed upon the novice minds of there customers and make them pay overpriced parts that they don't need.

That needs to change.

She complained to me the next day that it was still not working. I did an easy google search to find out that Pavilions with AMD possessors have an overheating problem that causes the motherboard to fail. Basically saying that with in the next months she needs a new computer.

How the heck is RAM supposed to fix that?
