Help with a slow computer in Western Sydney
If everyday computer tasks involve more waiting than working, our Western Sydney team can help investigate.
We assess slow Windows PCs and Macs, including delayed startup, freezing and applications that take too long to respond.
Call 1300 376 225Find out what is causing the delay
The best improvement depends on what is holding the computer back. We consider software, storage, memory and the device's condition, then explain useful work and any suitable upgrade. Your normal tasks and budget help decide whether the changes are worthwhile.
- Check slow startup and delays opening applications.
- Investigate freezing, crashes and repeated errors.
- Review storage and relevant startup software.
- Check for unwanted programs where appropriate.
- Assess suitable memory or storage upgrades.
- Discuss repair and replacement choices against your needs.
Getting ready for the appointment
- Note which tasks are slow and when it started.
- Tell us about any recent update or new application.
- Mention unusual noises or problems accessing files.
- Have details of any existing backup available.
Common questions
Does a slow computer always need replacing?
Extra memory is useful only where it addresses a real limitation and the model supports it. The assessment checks that before parts are recommended.
Will adding memory make my computer faster?
An older device may still meet your needs after suitable work. We compare the findings, expected benefit and repair cost with the alternatives.
Can you check a slow Mac as well as a Windows PC?
We help with slow MacBooks and desktop Macs as well as Windows devices. The software and hardware options depend on the particular model.
How do I explain an intermittent performance problem?
Important files should be discussed before any cleanup. We distinguish personal information from unwanted software and other data that may be appropriate to remove.
How do I find out about pricing?
Our minimum labour time is one hour per job, and many jobs only need that hour. If more time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. We do not charge call-out fees or travel costs. For onsite work, the time starts when your technician arrives. Parts cost extra if needed. The total depends on the fault and the work required, so we can give a more accurate estimate after diagnosis. Call us on 1300 376 225 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.
How long should I allow for the job?
Many jobs take around an hour, which is our minimum labour time per job. If extra time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. After diagnosing the issue, your technician can give a more accurate time estimate and explain the options, taking the work needed and your budget into account. Some repairs need parts or work offsite, which can affect the time before the computer is ready.
