There are many computer repairs that the average person can execute without much problem. Things like installing CD-ROM drives, sound cards and other expansion cards don't take much computer knowledge. How can you know, though, whether you are in over your head and need professional computer help?
Some computer repairs are difficult for the typical human being to do without causing damage to their computer or a peripheral. There are some tasks I'd categorize as amateur level, some as moderate and others as advanced. I've already referred to some repairs I would call beginner level. Some intermediate repairs include replacing your hard drive and installing an operating system. There was a time when something like this was advanced, but with modern Microsoft operating systems like Windows 7 and Windows Vista, operating system installations are not as difficult as they used to be.
So what maintenance should a beginner steer clear of? I would suggest things like replacing your motherboard. The need to replace your motherboard can come either when you are primed to upgrade your motherboard to something newer or when your computer case power supply dies a death.
A further repair I would caution against is based in software. That's when you want to clean out an unpleasant virus or spyware program. It is really easy to cause much grief if you don't do it accurately. You could lose access to the data on your hard drive if you screw up your operating system. Now if you don't care about the data on your hard drive, simply re-installing your operating system while being sure to format your hard drive can by and large solve a software problem. Kind of like killing a fly with a large shovel. It works but it is overkill. A competent computer repair technician can assist you in keeping your data complete while ridding you of a virus infection.
