Book Reviews of Troubleshooting Your PC for Dummies, 3rd Edition

Book Review: Great Resource!
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are new to computer repair, or just want to figure out what is going on inside your machine, this book is an EXCELLENT source of information.

Yes, it's very basic, which is great for those of us who aren't already immersed in the jargon of computers and don't know a CPU from a PCI. Yet it also will bring you right into the complexities of what is going on (and what may be going wrong) inside your computer. And does it in a fun and non-threatening way.

This book covers mainly software problems. If you want more hardware-oriented information, Upgrading and Fixing Computers for Dummies is a great source. If you happen to buy BOTH books, you have all the basic information you need to start becoming a computer repair whiz!
