The second spot on the Wall of Shame is reserved for all those self proclaimed Computer Techs that don't know a resistor from a capacitor, or even a PSU from a CPU. If you don't know the difference, that's OK, there are some real techs out there that know. When your PC breaks, take it to a real technician, not your buddy that plays the latest MMORPG.

The pictures below are from a PC that came into my shop for a "second opinion". There is a letter from a non-"Tech", some info has been hidden to protect the ignorant. The other picture is a screen shot to show that he doesn't know what he's talking about.

You should notice in the letter that he mentions the multi-core CPU, Windows updates, & the hard drive (HDD). The screen shot shows Windows updates and the type of CPU and both working cores.

Oh yeah, the problem was a bad hard drive, a REAL tech would have checked it. It was the second thing I did, right after I made a clone (back up) of the original HDD.

At least THIS non-"tech" didn't make things worse, this time.
