Computer Upgrade Serviceinclude services to add functionality to a computer system or network. An upgrade can take the form of hardware or software. Examples of software upgrades are the installation of new or updated programs or operating systems, or changes and tweaks to existing software. Examples of common hardware upgrades are video cards, sound cards, RAID cards, other interface cards, hard drives, memory, etc. Special care must be taken when doing a hardware upgrade. Computer hardware is delicate and sensitive.

Troubleshooting Example:
The customer's computer does not produce sound. This could be the result of damaged hardware, hardware conflict, incorrect hardware configuration, corrupted software driver, software driver conflict or incorrect software configuration.

To solve this problem, start with some detective work. Never discount the events leading up to the problem no matter how insignificant they seem. Determine when the problem arose and under what conditions. Find out if there is a pattern. Next, the scientific method is employed. Step by step, all relevant variables are put into check and the problem is isolated systematically. In this case, the answer may be as simple as reinstalling software, or may require a new sound card or other piece of hardware such as speakers.
