computer question

Hi all my cousin got a computer his it bloke at work told him his motherboard has gone and power supply what would be a fair price to charge him?

Also he said he have to reinstall everything is this right as I thought that if you change the motherboard everything should be ok as it is all stored on hard drive ?

motherboard and psu at the same time are unlikely, but possible. What are the symptoms?

you can get a new psu for £5-10.

motherboard, depends which one..

if it's the same motherboard, then it should work without a reinstall, but you may need to re-register with Microsoft.

Not reinstall everything but reinstall drivers for the mobo aswell as, replace all components, aswell as install onboard drivers.

Its a pretty big job. The PSU replacement is a piece of !!!!. The mobo is a bit time consuming.

Best thing to do is phoen a PC retailer and see what they charge for a job like this. From there you can come to a fair price.
