What can we check remotely?
Installing DWService allows Pink Parsnip Computers to connect to your Windows desktop and carry out agreed software based diagnostic work. The exact checks performed will depend on the problem you have reported.
We can normally help with
- Windows settings and configuration
- Windows updates
- Graphics, motherboard and device drivers
- Device Manager checks
- Startup programs and background software
- Event Viewer and Windows error logs
- Game and application settings
- Performance checks and benchmarks
- CPU, GPU and memory stress testing
- Temperature and system monitoring
- Storage health and available space checks
- RGB, fan and hardware control software
- Software conflicts and common stability problems
We cannot normally do remotely
- Physically inspect internal components
- Reconnect loose cables
- Reseat RAM or graphics cards
- Replace or repair faulty hardware
- Inspect physical damage
- Directly operate inside the BIOS through the Windows connection
- Resolve problems when the PC cannot load Windows or access the internet
Before the remote session begins
Please save any open work and close personal documents, private messages, banking websites, password managers and anything else you do not want visible during the support session.
Please remain available while we are connected unless a member of the Pink Parsnip Computers team has agreed otherwise with you.
We will only use remote access to carry out the support and diagnostic work discussed with you. Do not share your installation code with anyone other than the Pink Parsnip Computers support team.
Remote testing does not always confirm a hardware fault
Remote access can help us identify many Windows, driver, software and performance problems. However, some intermittent faults or physical hardware problems may require additional customer checks, BIOS changes, photographs, video evidence, replacement parts or the computer being returned for physical inspection.
