Works great now. It took two tries to do it.
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendBrought my computer in for a cooling system upgrade. Was installed and told everything works. Got home, ran a program and the temp went to a 100 degrees. Called Bestbuy , they said bring it back in. After a couple of days they told me it was ready and that it was connected wrong the first time. I bought it to Bestbuy because of service to a Cyberpower PC. It would have been nice to have it work the first time around.

Answered by CommunityAnswer
Q: QuestionDoes in-store Geek Squad do BIOS updates and provide the CPU to do it? I have a motherboard that needs updating as the BIOS doesn't support the new Ryzen 5 2400G processors
Asked by strangephish.
- A:Answer Yeah they will do it but they'll charge you $150 to do it. Completely rediculous if you ask me to charge more than the cost of new motherboard to make something up to the standard of what is being advertised. Just buy an older processor and return it after you update, or get a boot kit from AMD support.

Q: QuestionWill they install a new power supply and graphics card if i order and bring in myself? Or does it need to be bought through best buy for them to install it?
Asked by RollinRees.
- A:Answer They will install any parts that you bring to them. The parts do not have to be bought from Best Buy.

Q: QuestionGetting a blue screen. What does this mean? What is the cost to resolve this issue?
Asked by Deedee.
- A:Answer Your pc needs a new hard drive with operating system install, as well as driver installation and any third party software (antivirus/Microsoft Office ).If possible you may also want data transfer of important files from your old hard drive.
Answered by Terrycloth
Q: Questionif I purchase a hard drive for my laptop from BestBuy, can you install it and transfer the data from my old drive, OS and files?
Asked by imchas.
- A:Answer Yes, Geek Squad did just that for me, installing a SanDisk Ultra II into my ~5yo MacBook Pro. Disc install accomplished; but data transfer ran into an issue b/c of corrupted hard disc (which was the driving reason behind me getting the new disc.) Geeks made the right decision & stopped trying to transfer data b/c of the way disc was being eaten by whatever corrupted it upon every access; Best Buy refunded the prepaid data transfer fee. I then restored from my Time Machine backup & am back in business. Glad I didn't try to do the install/transfer myself. I knew there was something wrong with the disc, but not what. Love the increased speed of the SSD - it's a whole new machine!

Answered by Dark
Q: QuestionI need three separate things installed into my pc. I need ram, cpu cooler and a new hard drive. Will any of these void my warranty also what is the installation fee
Asked by ColtonnBaileyy.
- A:Answer Hi ColtonnBaileyy – The warranty question would depend on the terms of your manufacturer’s warranty. Please reach out to them for clarification on that point. As for the cost of the install, when getting that much work done you may want to consider signing up for a Best Buy Total Tech Support plan, which covers all of your technology, starting at $199.99 per year. For an estimate on just the installs, please go to www.geeksquad.com/schedule to set up a free consultation to discuss this with an Agent in person.
