- PC Troubleshooting – Is your computer running slow? Or perhaps you are experiencing other technical issues? Cardinal Computers will determine the cause and help you get up and running quickly.
- PC Repair – Repair or replace faulty computer hardware and fix operating system issues.
- PC Upgrading – Remove, recycle and replace computer components at the request of the customer. Customers may elect to recycle parts themselves or take the old part home.
- Custom New & Used Computer Sales – We build affordable custom computers per the specifications of the customer. We also carry used PC’s at very affordable prices. Used computers may also be customized.
- PC, Hardware & Electronics Recycling – Cardinal Computers recycles old or unwanted computers and computer parts whether they are in working order or not. We also recycle printers, CRT/LCD/LED screens, and most all other computer peripherals.
- Data Recovery – If your computer is making clicking or scraping sounds, it should be immediately troubleshooted for disk drive failure in order to recover as much data as possible. Cardinal Computers will remove and back up all possible data from a failing disk onto a new storage device of your choosing. We may also be able to recover data from already failed disks. We also copy hard disk drives for storage, backup and preventative measures.
- Data & Hardware Protection & Security – We can make sure that your computer is protected from the latest threats by doing a security evaluation. Viruses are not limited to hard disk drives anymore, they also infect ROM or read-only memory on the main system board. We can install safeguards and software to protect your privacy and security.
- Network Security & Firewalls – Cyber-security is very serious in today’s world. Cardinal Computers will do a security check and help you with the best solution for your needs. Without this first line of defense, you are very open to fraud and compromising both your computer’s hardware and software.
- Operating System Installation & Reset – Whether you use Windows XP, 7 or 10, or whether you prefer Linux; we can get your computer setup exactly the way you love. If your computer simply needs a reset or wipe and reset, we can also perform that as well.
- Data Wiping & Hardware Disposal – We take privacy very seriously. If you simply want to erase a hard drive, we can do so without any trace of data left on a disk. This requires a special process that is not a disk format. If you are trading a PC in or recycling a PC and are concerned about personal information on the disk drive, we completely erase all disks to a factory blank condition before reuse or recycle. If you have a disk that no longer works, we physically destroy the disk, so that no data may ever be recovered. Disks that no longer work can still be mined for your information. Criminals do this by carefully removing the case and changing the media (disk) over to a functioning drive. Destruction of the drive is the only solution for a non-functioning disk drive.
- Virus & Malware Removal & Prevention – If your PC is running slow, has annoying pop-ups, or otherwise just acting odd, chances are you could be infected with a virus or malware. It is important to diagnose these conditions to rule out hardware issues that could lead to data loss. We will do full software and hardware scans to pinpoint exact issues and then resolve them quickly. As mentioned above, we will help you with a solution to prevent these situations to begin with and thus save money in the long run on costly repairs. It is easier and less expensive to prevent, and bring the computer in now, than bring it in later with a problem!
- Full System Cleaning: Operating System and Hardware – Computer running slow, acting weird or otherwise not quite up to what it used to be? We perform complete software and hardware scans to make sure that your computer is not corrupted, infected or having any hardware trouble that would impact performance or reliability. We also physically clean all dirt, dust and grime out of systems at the same time to make sure you are at optimal performance and reliability.
