Description of Work: Pete did a great job diagnosing and repairing my computer problem in a way that saved me money. He also went above and beyond in making recommendations on how to increase the life of my laptop. Basically, the cooling fan on my laptop died. It was a type that not only included a fan, but also a heat sync filled with some sort of cooling fluid. My prior computer of the same make and style, melted on me 2 years ago, I believe for the same reason. Pete gave advice over the phone to help me diagnose my own problems. He also wasn't adverse to me getting my own parts to fix the machine when it turned out I found a supplier who was cheaper than his. [He also took the name for future use.] He confirmed that my part was new, and not rebuilt, installed it, tested the machine and returned it in a weekend. He was responsive to my schedule and very helpful in getting the right solution. The computer runs much cooler now, and I'm not worried about it breaking like my last one. Very professional and courteous service.

Great! We are going to continue to use his services.
Description of Work: We are a company with 20+ computers. We've been having many problems with our existing network system and getting a response from our last maintenance company. Pete was extremely responsive and was able to fix problems we've been having for 9 months now.

It went very well. Pete was able to help me resolve the problem remotely (he didn't even need to come to my office) and the issues were resolved in a matter of hours. The remote assist feature is a nice feature as this saves time and money. I can't say enough about the quality of the work. I have great confidence in the work he performs and he is a trustworthy, honest individual.
Description of Work: I had a spy ware virus problem and Pete helped me to get rid of it in a timely fashion (he is always great about getting back to you quickly via phone or email). I had used Pro PC's services in the past (to get a computer up and running, to transfer some databases) and was very satisfied by the professionalism and quality of work. Can't say enough about how much I appreciate having a resource like Pete, even more so being a sole business practitioner who relies on a provider like Pete.

When I sent Pete an email requesting help because my laptop USB ports stop connecting, I had a response from him within hours. I then contacted him by phone to make sure that he understood the issue. He diagnosed the problem and gave me options to have it fixed, recommending that I buy a USB slot card, instead of paying hundreds of dollars to repair it. I followed his recommendation and now the computer works perfectly. I am so impressed with his fast response to my request for help and above all with his honesty, not to mention his willingness to give me the right information and recommendation without even looking at the computer (and charge me for it). Pete is also very courteous and easy to talk to, answering all my questions without making me feel ashamed of my limited knowledge about computers. I strongly recommend him and I will definitely use him again for any problems with computers.
Description of Work: Responded to my email within 24 hours with diagnostic information and solution to my computers' problem.

In the end, he was unable to repair the issue and had to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything in order to restore my machine. However, he tried very hard to resolve the issue before proceeding to wipe the drive (with my permission). So an A+ for effort and a B+ for achievement! Pete is terrific, highly recommended.
Description of Work: My PC had been invaded by some pretty nasty viruses and spy-ware. Pete (the owner of ProPC) was very responsive and spent several hours and multiple occasions working on it. He was always courteous and sensitive to my concerns. He is very punctual and professional as well.

Peter was very easy to work with and did a great job for a very reasonable price. If you have any type of computer issues that need to be resolved, I would highly recommend Peter. I plan on using him in the future if I have any other issues on my new computer or my old one.
Description of Work: I bought a new computer from Best Buy and has them install software. In the process, it made my computer unusable i.e. could not download i tunes onto computer, could not use Internet. Over the phone, Peter walked me through the process of fixing my computer. It now works perfectly and I couldn't be happier.

After a scan of my computer by my internet provider, the computer developed the "blue screen of death". I could not even get the DVD drives to work to save my data. After dealing with the software and internet companies, paid on line advice and on line programs, I broke down and phoned Pete. He explained over the phone that the problem could not be "fixed", the hard drive would need to be wiped out, reformatted, and the operating system reinstalled. I could not afford all of the above, so Pete offered to retrieve my data and write it to DVDs. I went this route since I have formatted a hard drive and reinstalled programs in the past. Pete had me bring the CPU to him right away with a commitment to have the work done by the end of the day or the next day. Due to my circumstances, I couldn't pick up the CPU until the third day. Pete phoned me every day with an update or to make arrangements to pick up the CPU. Pete seemed to have a good command of the I.T. field and he was well mannered and a pleasure to deal with. Should they ever need it, I have passed his cards out to family and friends. Do business with Pete again? Absolutely and without hesitation! Pete went above and beyond my expectations.
Description of Work: After describing the problem to Pete, he gave phone advice on what needed to be done to fix the computer. Pete gave a quote to retrieve all my data (and I have a lot of it), wiping out the hard drive, reformat and reinstall all my programs, files, folders, and data. I could not afford all that work at this time. He then suggested that at the very least he would retrieve all the data. We had a deal! He made an appointment for me to drop off the computer within a few hours. Pete did retrieve my data, he gave extra advice and suggestions, and no surprise charges. He phoned daily to touch base until I could pick up the CPU.

We found Pete on Angie's List. Best thing we ever did! We took too long to write our report... He came to our home based business and worked on two laptops. One was just old and he cleaned it up so it would run faster. The newer laptop was fried. But he advised us what to buy and where. Then he came back and made it all work. We have called on him ever since. Sometimes he needs to come out to our business and sometimes he can do the work remotely. It all works, because we are able to keep business moving. His price is right on, but it is his reliability and professionalism that keep us coming back! Keep up the good work Pete!
Description of Work: Tried to fix busted laptop (only 18 mos old!) I didn't buy the extended warranty, ugh! Pete then advised us on where to buy a new laptop, what to look for and advised us to buy the extended warranty this time. Of course we listened to him. He came by our business again, made sure our networking was running smoothly, fixed our email problems, and kept us in business!! Pete presents well, clean cut, well spoken, professional and patient. I would recommend his services to anyone!

Pete picked up the laptop on a Tuesday and had it all ready to go Wednesday morning. He called me and went over the things he found and things he did in detail. I opted to pick the laptop up to save a day and when I arrived Pete went over everything again on the laptop. The laptop never ran as well. I am very pleased.
Description of Work: I asked Pete to check out my disc drive since I had been getting error messages saying there was something wrong with the disc drive. My computer(laptop) was also very slow and erratic. Pete determined the disc drive was OK, but the computer was loaded with debris. He cleaned up the machine, removed a bunch of programs that were not needed and replaced others with better alternatives. At my request he added main memory. Pete also added automatic cleanup features to keep the computer working well and a remote assistance program so he can help me in the future without actually having the laptop.

My husband (and business partner) and I had just returned from our honemoon and found that our company computer wouldn't power up. We couldn't run our business without the vital information stored on that computer. We e-mailed Pete on a Sunday night and were responded to within the hour. The computer was dropped off Monday morning and the issue resolved by Monday evening. Pete diagnosed the problem, obtained all the information we needed and put what he could fit on our smaller external hard drive. He kept in touch the entire day to let us know when he would be ready to return the external drive and original hard drive. We were amazed at his speed and ability to explain what the issue was to two computer illiterate people.
Description of Work: Critical data was retrieved from our company computer that had been detroyed by a shortage in the eletrical supply.

Peter was great. He worked quickly and efficiently- charged me slightly less than he was owed... I would recommend him highly and would call him again with no hesitation.
Description of Work: Peter came and cleaned up my computer which was hardly moving at all. He also had gone ahead and bought additional memory to install- but it turned out that it wasn't the correct memory. Peter offered to install the memory for free if I bought it.

Pete was responsive, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. He sent me the program I needed and then helped with the data retrieval by remotely connecting to my computer. He worked on the basis of trust; I paid (with PayPal) only after he finished the work. Pete also tried to help me with another problem but couldn't find a satisfactory resolution. He didn't charge me for the time spent researching since he wasn't able to do any work on the actual problem.
Description of Work: I was totally locked out of my computer when I changed from a Domain to a Work group; I didn't know the new username and password. Pete provided a program to change the Administrator password so I could get get past the log on screen and boot the computer. Since this process created a new profile, my data wasn't readily apparent. Pete helped me find the data and make it more readily accessible.

Pete is busy, but once he found time for the project, he completed it rapidly and completely. Pete succeeded where Microsoft tech support and others services had failed.
Description of Work: Tuned up a barely functioning, nonresponsive older Windows XP desktop. Repaired registry, upgraded anti virus and spyware tools, cleaned disk and checked all hardware components for problems. When Pete was finished, the desktop was functioning on our network and ran all software programs without a hitch.

Pete diagnosed the problem as a fried monitor, not surprising because my computer is over five years old. In the meantime, though, Pete opened the box and checked its inner workings and got rid of some serious dust, especially on my graphics card. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and explained what he was doing as he did it.
Description of Work: My monitor did not work. It seemed to turn on okay, but it displayed only a dark, blank screen. When the computer was on, an electrical smell seemed to come from it.

Pete was very knowledgeable and efficient. For example, in addition to networking our computers as requested, he also figured out how to hard wire an older computer into the network, which was extremely beneficial. Pete went with the flow. He was very easy to have around and had no problem with our making two Staples runs while he was there as the networking project evolved. He really knew what he was doing and had the network up and running in short order. It's continuing to run beautifully. Working with Pete was very convenient. I called him on a Friday and he was able to come to our house the next day. The Saturday visit was a plus as my husband and I both work. Pete is a true professional. It was a pleasure to deal with such a well mannered and competent contractor.
Description of Work: Pete set up a wireless computer network in our house.

I was extremely pleased with Pete's promptness in answering my email, giving me an estimate and general helpfulness. He responded quickly when notified that my laptop had been delivered and installed it right away, even at a busy holiday time. He did everything as promised and more. I would not hesitate to have him again and to recommend him to anyone. His estimate was right on. Not only was he knowledgable but courteous as well.

Working with Pete Slonka was fantastic. He worked on multiple computers at one time and was very friendly and easy to work with. He got things functioning in our office that we have had others look at before. Our small office is technically functioning better than it was when all of the equipment was new. He was also very quick to respond. We will use him again for all of our computer needs.
Description of Work: We have a small office and Pete came and helped us sped up a 2 very slow computers by adding RAM and cleaning them up, fixed problems with MS outlook on 2 computers, transfered software and data from one PC to a lap top, networked all four of our computers and 2 printers for general company access, fixed the scanning application on a broken HP all in one printer and most famously fixed our wireless network which 3 PC repair companies hadn't been able to fix. Plus he did a ton of other general computer clean up stuff.

We urgently needed to get a document from the frozen laptop and Pete accommodated us on short notice on a Saturday evening (we went to his place). He tried a few different fixes and got the laptop running. He set up a program to make file backup easier, backed up our files to an external drive, and recommended a few other maintenance tips. He also installed Win XP Service Pak2. This took a long time to run and then it failed and had to be re-installed. We took it home and ran the install ourselves because it takes 2 hrs and we didn't want to stay at his place and wait or leave the laptop with someone we just met (lot of private info). He checked it the next day and ensured it installed ok. But he was fair about pricing--didn't charge us for the extra time/visit though he had initially quoted a price based on estimated time. He was very pleasant throughout and I would definitely go back to him if any other PC problems arise.
Description of Work: We contacted Pete to fix a laptop that kept freezing midway through start-up.

Though my computer still has problems, I got a better understanding of the situation and learned about some options. It is an old computer and Pete warned me that it might not be able to function perfectly because once you tinker too much with an old computer other problems pop up. That seems reasonable to me and I am going to buy a new computer.
Description of Work: Eliminated programs from my computer, disk defragmentation, cleaning, etc.

Pete is knowledgeable and a delight to work with. I can't recommend him highly enough. He picked up my desktop and did most of the work at his office so I would not have to pay for time he'd have to spend waiting for things to load if working at my home. When he returned my desktop, he spent two hours setting up my home network for sharing, explaining exactly what he was doing at each step. He gave me instructions on how to make the printer accessible from my son's laptop without interfering with settings necessary to make his laptop work on his school's network. I especially appreciated Pete's "holistic" approach. He not only solved the start up problem, he also checked the health of my entire system. Someone else I called said my problem was probably hardware related and would continue to happen until I replaced my computer, and set me up with freeware to take care of system backups and virus protection.
Description of Work: Pete repaired a corrupted Windows registry that had prevented my desktop from starting up. He checked all the system hardware to rule out any "electrical" issues that might have caused the problem. Also installed free anti-virus software. Installed all outstanding operating system patches. Backed up system to an external drive and installed freeware to automate the backup process. Set up my home network to allow file and printer sharing and also set up synchronization software between my desktop and laptop.

Pete was great. He's friendly, polite, and clearly knows his way around a PC. I know a good deal about computers, enough to replace memory, hard drives, and the like, but I never would have caught this problem. He was excellent.
Description of Work: UPDATE 2012: Pete just helped me out again. This time it was a work laptop with a bunch of data on it that we couldn't recover. The data had been encrypted by the previous owner and couldn't be retrieved but Pete managed to get it for us. Once again he saved us a big headache and is now helping us put in place a sensible encryption strategy that will both protect our data and prevent these sorts of situations in the future. I recommend Pete unreservedly for either business or home use. My computer had been acting very flaky for more than a month- shutting off suddenly, freezing, etc. It seemed like a hardware problem, but nothing I tried seemed to help and the problem kept getting worse. I was on the verge of buying a new PC when I called Pete. He came in, took the whole machine apart piece by piece, and tested everything as he went. After a couple hours, he had isolated an obscure problem with one of the two processors in the box. We ordered a new processor and now the box is running like a charm again. As far as I'm concerned, Pete saved me $1000!
