Went over to GeekSquad because I royally screwed up my computer. (Really, I wanted a second opinion)

Once I got there, I spoke to the guy about my problem, how I made the problem occur, and then proceeded to show him how my computer would BSOD just as it was about to turn on.

I then asked him if it's possible to work from the backend and reverse what I did to get it up and working again.

His eyes, wide in confusion, and fear, then replied,

No we would have to do a clean install of Windows 7 in order to even get past the BSOD.

Ok.jpg

I promptly thanked him for trying and then left with the affirmation that all IT ever does is clean install and then charge you up the ass for the OS and backed up data.

    @Lukas unfortunately not, pretty much every commerce does this, at least in my country. Thank God I got my degree and ran the hell out of IT

    @azous Jezus...and I'm hunting every virus from all my friends' porn-infested jizz machines (which they, without any exception, somehow lent the day before to a very direspectfull friend with quite an imagination:)) for hours on end for next to nothing...I'm doing something wrong :)

    i worked for geek squads and its not what it used to be. a lot of the front agents know very little about computers. they are there to sell the membership and thats it. i remember when i was there it was. if it turns on factory reset it solves the issue. lol

    Hey now, don't hate on geek squad. If it weren't for them (and their incompetence) I wouldn't have met my wife.
