My computer had very little memory, causing the predictable problems. Ryan was excellent. He added as much additional memory as the computer (HP) would allow and I'm a very happy camper. He was on time, courteous and knew his stuff. The cost was considerably cheaper than buying a new computer and going through all the work of backing up my old hard drive, repurchasing software, etc. I would recommend Ryan to anyone, and would call him for any future repairs.
Description of Work: Increased my computer's memory.

It went very well. Ryan saved me the hassle of buying additional memory on my own, reloaded the operating system on his time, thereby minimizing the incovenience to me, and provided all services on time and as promised, despite an unexpected service call. The cost was very reasonable.
Description of Work: When I turned on my laptop, I got a "blue screen" indicating a problem that I could not troubleshoot on my own. As a result, I could no longer access e-mail or the internet, except in "safe mode," and I could not print. Ryan came within a day of my contacting him, identified the problem quickly, and delivered the repaired computer when he said he would. It has worked successfully ever since.

I was extremely pleased with the service and the results.
Description of Work: After reading the article in Angie's List mag, I phoned and scheduled an appointment. Ryan called and was able to come earlier which worked out well. He was able to find the infected objects and reset the system. I would definitely call him again and I've already recommended him to my friends.

Ryan scheduled a repair call for my home desk top computer. He was twice delayed but call and asked if I would mind a delay. He was courteous and arrived exactly at the time he said he would due the previous job taking longer than he had anticipated. When Ryan arrived he was courteous and appropriately friendly even to the point that he had a treat for my dog. His diagnostic tests of my computer were thorough and timely. Within 30 minutes he had found the problem and corrected it. Ryan is professional, polite, and easy to talk to. When he finished the job he invoiced me for the call and to my complete surprise charged me only $25.00. I would highly recommend Ryan and will definitely use him for all of my computer repairs in the future. You just don't find this type of quality very often. Ryan and Computer Geeks -Va are the only call you need to make for the highest quality of service and repair for your PC at home repsirs.

This was my second call to Ryan and both were entirely satisfactory. He sets up appointments quickly, accommodates evening and weekend -- and in this case holiday -- hours, is versatile and flexible and readily moves from one task to another in dealing with multiple computers. He also nicely tolerated dogs trying to help by nosing into the equipment he was working on, and when a "problem" with a computer turned out to be nothing more than this owner's lack of technical expertise he took the time to explain the issue so the inept owner wouldn't make the same mistake again. Definitely a "keeper.'
Description of Work: I had just bought new computers for my husband and me and called Ryan to help with the set-up, moving stuff from our old machines, and general trouble-shooting for us. He helped get a new wireless router connected to all the computers, worked on software installation problems with moving from Windows XP to windows 7, took one of our new computers home with him to try to fix those software/operating system conflicts, brought the machine back and helped with a few remaining issues.

My daughters computer was acting up and she brought it home for the thanksgiving break. I contacted computer geeks by email on thanksgiving day. They responded the same day and we set up an appointment for Saturday 24th since my daughter was leaving to go back to school that weekend. They were punctual and very professional. He spent about 15/20 minutes and her computer was running great. The charge was only $25. We were extremely impressed and pleased with the service and the expertise. I would reccomend this company and will definatly use them again.
Description of Work: Computer was giving error messages and turning itself off, and most of the time would not turn back on. We tried several things on our own (new battery, running checks with anti virus software, etc). Computer geeks ran some diagnostics and fixed the problem.

This is the second time I have used Computer Geeks-VA, and technician Ryan had everything up and running in less than an hour. I don't see how anyone could go wrong using this firm in terms of service, price, prompt response and reliability. I once had an auto mechanic I felt the same way about, but he died. Long live Ryan Hitzeroth!
Description of Work: Configured and activated a fairly complex wireless system involving two computers, two printers, and WiFi setup.

Ryan came out to our house at 8 p.m. the evening before Thanksgiving, Nov. 21, to diagnose my wife's laptop problems. He was on time and very courteous. He recommended her Toshiba laptop needed a new keyboard and it could also perform faster with additional memory. He quickly found some available Toshiba keyboards online and gave us an estimate of $15-$20 for a new keyboard. He said we could purchase the additional memory from MicroCenter or Best Buy and showed us how to install the additional memory to save some money. We asked him to order a new keyboard and the additional memory, as I felt uncomfortable installing the memory myself based on past bad personal experiences installing additional memory chips years ago. He ordered the keyboard after he left our home and informed us that it would be coming from China so it might be 10-14 days, but that he would keep us informed. On Dec. 9 he called at 11 a.m. to say the keyboard had arrived and asked if he could install it that afternoon before 5 p.m. We made arrangements for him to install it at 4 p.m. He was on time. He replaced my wife's keyboard and installed the new memory chip in less than one hour. The keyboard now works great. My wife was thrilled that he works evenings and weekends, was in our home for a total of one hour for both visits, his charges of $95 were very reasonable for on-site computer repair in the customer's home. We will definitely be using Computer Geeks VA for future laptop and tablet repairs.
Description of Work: The technican diagnosed the keyboard's malfunctioning keys and laptop's slow performance. He recommended two solutions and estimated the price of each and the overall labor charge to perform the work. When the keyboard arrived and a next appointment was made, the technician replaced the keyboard and added the memory as we requested.

in most cases if a laptop is dead you buy a new one, however in this case i needed this particular system because it is part of my video editing fly package and I did not want to replace 6,000 dollars worth of software. Ryan systematicallyreplace the least expensive parts until we could determine the cause of the system failure. Although it took a little extra time he saved me a lot of money and everyting is back, good as new.
Description of Work: Ryan saved my laptop and brought it back from the dead. Excellent work and I couldn't be happier.

Ryan was able to come within 24 hours of being contacted. He appeared on time and was able to restore the computer's operating system. Additionally, he downloaded or added other programs that had been installed since the computer's purchase. He left clear instructions for "homework" that can be done for further updates. My mother found the price to be much lower than she expected to pay. And he didn't mind the cats climbing all over him!
Description of Work: PC's OS system was corrupted and Ryan had to restore system to the original factory status.

Overall, I had a great experience with Computer Geeks - VA. The owner, Ryan, was professional, courteous, and responsive. The repair price was competitive with other price quotes. It was also helpful that Ryan allowed me to buy the screen beforehand, so there was no price mark-up on the screen. The repair took about four days and everything seems to be working great. I wouldn't hesitate to use Ryan for any other computer issues.

I had a gaming PC that fried during an electrical storm last year. With some testing and internet help, I was able to determine that the motherboard no longer worked. I called Ryan and he showed up at the agreed time. He quickly assessed my computer and offered some (free) advice on my newer PC as well. Knowing that I had Ryan ready to go to work, I ordered a used motherboard on Ebay. When it arrived, I called Ryan who promptly picked up the hardware. While it took him a few days to nail down the problem and get the computer running, he kept me up to date with emails. After dropping off the hardware, he charged me a jaw-dropping low price of $75 for his time and effort (which includes picking up and dropping off AS WELL AS a new power supply he threw in for free while he was diagnosing the problem)! What more could I ask for? Nothing. Ryan is a consummate professional.
Description of Work: Replaced motherboard of gaming computer. Replaced power supply (for free)!

I would use Computer-Geeks VA again if the need arose.
Description of Work: Ryan installed a new hard drive in my HP laptop and replaced the CMOS battery in a toshiba laptop, and also got the sound to work again. Ryan gave me a price for the labor before he began the work which other companies did not do. They wanted to examine the laptop first, even thought I told them it was a hard drive failure, which it was.

The technician was on time, professional, friendly, and knowledgable. He quickly determined the problem and had the parts on hand to repair the computer. I would highly recommend Computer Geeks - VA for any computer issues. They do the work at your home, are very efficient, competant, and their pricing is very reasonable.
Description of Work: Daughter's laptop PC, used for college work, stopped functioning. When you turned on the PC, the screen was blank with only a blinking curser on the top left. Thought either the hard drive or motherboard was fried. After checking resources recommended in Angie's List, called Computer Geeks - VA on Wednesday. Made an appointment for in-home repair on Thursday at 6 PM. The technician arrived exactly at 6 PM and first conducted some diagnostic tests. He quickly determined that is was a bad memory chip which he replaced. He ran a few more checks to make sure the laptop was operating properly and completed his work.
