Alright you need a bit of background Information first to understand my issue and Eric, resolution.
Computer Rigs Anchorage, Ak 99507
From 2002 - 2015
I am a former A+ Certified Technician who worked in and around Anchorage for roughly 13 years until we had to relocate to Tennessee for my Mothers family issues involving the passing of her older sister. So we relocated and I closed my business and sold my equipment before the move Shipping costs were very high.
We ended up in Knoxville, Tn. Area and I was going to restart a version of my business here, until I started having major vision issues. (Short Version) Lost most of my vision due to large tumor.
Once I had time to recover kinda I wanted to get back to My Computing needs.
Early 2020 I had saved around $2000 to start my build, figuring it may be my last or at least had to cover me to the next one. See I don't know if I am done with my vision issues or if they will only get worse. I aimed for an Ultimate Gaming machine and all was well with the build, until I found myself wishing I had more desk space and a bit cooler running machine.
I moved everything to a smaller Cube shaped case from Corsair and the build went goodish until I started having weird issues. Shut downs, speed ups, things that told me it needed more attention than my eye sight could muster. Enter COVID 19 and the were no Computer Techs open or answering there phones.
Once shops were allowed to reopen I started looking outr of 27 shops when I started I was down to three one answered the phone and was really exited about looking at and possibally playing with my build. ( Instant weird vibe = like he might want some of my parts? )
Next there were these Geeky Guys ( Changed ) Who would look at it starting at $200 and $95 per hour more. They also could not Guarantee it would work afterwards and recommended I buy a new one from them. They don't sell anything remotely like what I built.
Next guy was swamped and would have to call me back in 30. Was that 30 years as I am still waiting it has been over 4 months in January.
Thank God my sister asked what I wanted for Christmas and I said help finding a tech to fix my machine for Christmas. Today is Christmas and I am using my Hot Rod Machine.
Enter my Hero who we found looking on ANGIE'S LIST as well as on HOME ADVISOR, bot places showed this guy had great ratings. I called and he told me it would be around $85 to diagnose my issue. I told him what I had found, what it was doing and the things I had tried to fix it. He was very caring in the fact that I knew what to look for and no longer could do it myself because of vision and equipment limitations. He came looked at it and carried it home.
Fast Forward 5 weeks or so, we found a dead mother board, as it was new we RMA'd it back and waited to get it back and ERIC HULL got it running Day before yesturday. It has taken this long to review ERIC because of WINDOWS UPDATES.
THIS GUY IS AWSOME... I highly recommend, he gives bad news professionally and adds input on solutions if you have more issues than you can handle with out talking down to you, or making you feel obsolete like other businesses seem to treat the ELDERLY HANDYCAPPED such as me. He was great and since we had to wait for the board to return from the factory he made two trips at roughly $100 each time including all area taxes. read more
