How Often Should You Restart?

Did you know, as a general rule of thumb you're meant to restart your PC at least once a week, or daily if you’re using your PC for demanding tasks like gaming, video editing, or software development.

1. Clears System Memory (RAM)
Over time, open applications and background processes can consume memory. A restart clears out the RAM.

2. Stops Background Processes
You might not realize how many background apps and services are running. Restarting stops all of these, allowing only essential processes to reload, sometimes fixing slowdowns or freezing.

3. Installs Updates Properly
Many system and software updates require a restart to finish installing. If you delay a restart, your PC might not be fully updated, leading to bugs or security vulnerabilities.

4. Fixes Temporary Software Glitches
Glitches, like unresponsive apps or strange behaviour, are often caused by temporary issues. A restart resets the environment and can solve these minor problems instantly.

5. Resolves Internet and Connectivity Problems
Network services can sometimes hang or misbehave. Restarting can reset your network adapters and reconnect properly to Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

6. Improves Performance
If your PC feels sluggish, a reboot can make it snappier by clearing out system clutter and freeing up resources.

7. Helps With Troubleshooting
It’s one of the first steps tech support will recommend because it rules out temporary software issues. If a problem persists after a restart, it's more likely something deeper.

If you have any of the issues mentioned, that aren't resolved by a restart, we are here and happy to help.

This was a BIG repair!

This PC kept cutting out on us intermittently, so the best thing to do was create a test bench.

This lets us test each component to help find the main fault.

In this case it was a faulty motherboard.

Got a new one ordered that arrived the next day, had it fitted the same day and tested on the third day. All ready for the customer to collect at their convenience.

This came in under our Gold Service in which we strive to have works started in 3 to 5 working days of your PC getting to us.

Know the Signs of a Scam Website

1. Look out for unusual URL or Domain Names, as well as misspellings made to tick you at a glance. Some examples of this would be, amaz0n.com, g00gle.net or something similar to this.

2. The use of strange domain endings like .xyz, .top, or .info
What you would normally expect is .com or .co.uk

3. No HTTPS, this is something you would see at the start of a web address. Scam sites may not use encryption this would show as http:// This is a very small difference to watch out for, as it's only the 'S' that's been removed.

4. Look for the padlock icon in the browser’s address bar, this is a good sign that the site you're visiting is safe.

5. Keep an eye out for poor website design and grammar. If it doesn't look quite right don't trust it. This also includes if you see 'too good to be true' deals. Seeing extremely low prices or unrealistic offers are common scam tactics.

6. No Contact Info or Fake Info can be present on these sites. It's best before buying anything, if you're not sure to check and test for a working phone number, email, or physical address. If you try using the 'contact form' does anyone respond to you?

7. Look for reviews of the site on google. Search using the site’s name and add "scam" or "reviews" at the end, to see what others are saying.

What would be a scam pop-up warning?

1. Seeing "Your Computer is Infected!" your computer wouldn't show that you have a virus in this way. Real virus warnings would only come from your antivirus software, not from your internet browser.

2. If it tells you to take immediate action "Call Microsoft/Apple immediately" or "Click Here to Fix" then this is also fake.

3. Auto-playing Audio, Alarms, Loud beeping or voice warnings are all scare tactics used to make you act quickly and panic in the moment. Don't click on what shows up and close the tab. If this doesn't close easily force close the browser instead. To do this it's Ctrl+Shift+Esc on Windows and Cmd+Option+Esc on Mac

Tips to stay safe.

1. Use a reputable antivirus and ad-blocker. If you need one, we offer Emsisoft starting at £30 for the year, get in touch with us to find out more.

2. Check URLs before clicking to the website.

3. Avoid downloading software from random websites.

4. Trust your gut, if it feels off, it probably is.

So going back 2 weeks ago now I (Stephen... the one always posting on here now!) asked if we could get a new brush for the shop.

Not knowing that it may have been a marketing opportunity in disguise! 😂

Not meaning to, I came back with the perfect shop brush. The Utopia branding finished it off perfectly.

Joke post by the way... still cool though 😂
