That should be a red flag right there. I've had several boxes that went
flaky when the video adapter started to fail. The symptoms don't
necessarily
point to the card, and replacing it, while easy, isn't something they
can do
over the phone.

We've had clients, supposed 'IT professionals', that have managed to
fubar
systems. The last part of that acronym is 'Beyond All Repair'.


I wonder if Higgs didn't get a hold of one of those fraud
criminals that clam to be from this of that company and
charge you to fix what isn't wrong. They like camp
on type'ed phone numbers similar to legitimate companies.

The rule is that only 10% of professionals actually know what
they are doing. A good way to tell computer professionals apart
is if they are arrogant or they refuse to share information.
Hi,
I tried Avast anti-virus program. It is memory hog, finding that out I
dumped it. Did not cost any $$. Worst is they try to come into your
computer with your permission of course saying they need to get in there
to fix the problem. Then god only knows what they are upto. Any thing is
fixable but it is a matter of economics. I help all my friends,
neighbors, family with their questions and issues when it comes to with
their computer of any sort. After all that was my career for ~40
years.....(in super large scale systems)
