When having hardware problems

[Trax]

it can be a really messy situation and find the issue can sometimes be a nightmare. Pluging out card after card and test the computer after each turn IS a nightmare. Im not a big fan of customer support when it comes to hardware problems as you have to ship your computer to them. Could be very costly as well. I'd rather solve the problems myself and just order the part gone bad.

I agree that I'd love to be able to solve all of my own problems.

About a year ago, I had a hard drive failure and I had to take my computer into Best Buy for a few days and let the Geek Squad go to it.

It worked out in my case.
