Top 5 Computer Issues Oxford Students Face During Exams – And How We Fix Them!

Exam season is stressful enough without your computer crashing at the worst possible moment. For students in Oxford—whether you’re at Oxford University, Oxford Brookes, or studying remotely—tech issues can derail your revision and deadlines. At Computer Assistance, we’ve helped hundreds of students get back on track with fast, affordable repairs starting at just £50. With 400+ five-star Google reviews, we’re the trusted choice for students in Cowley, Headington, and Summertown. Here are the top 5 computer issues Oxford students face during exams—and how we fix them!

1. Slow Performance When You’re Racing Against Deadlines

Nothing’s worse than a sluggish laptop when you’re trying to finish an essay or load lecture notes. Slow performance is often caused by too many background processes, low disk space, or outdated hardware.

How We Fix It: At Computer Assistance, we optimize your device by clearing unnecessary files, updating software, and upgrading hardware if needed. Our performance optimization starts at £60 (£51 service charge with our student discount, plus parts if needed). Most fixes are done same-day, so you can get back to studying without delay.

2. Software Crashes During Last-Minute Revisions

Ever had Microsoft Word or Zoom crash while you’re revising or attending a virtual study session? Software crashes can stem from corrupted files, outdated apps, or compatibility issues—common for students juggling multiple programs during exams.

How We Fix It: We diagnose and resolve software issues starting at £60 (£51 service charge with discount, plus parts if needed). Whether it’s fixing crashes or reinstalling software, we ensure your apps run smoothly so you can focus on your exams.

3. Battery Draining Too Fast for All-Day Study Sessions

Oxford students often study on the go—whether at the Bodleian Library or a café in Jericho. A battery that drains too quickly can cut your study session short, especially if you’re working on a tight schedule.

How We Fix It: We replace failing batteries starting at £120 (£102 service charge with discount, plus parts cost). We also provide tips to extend battery life, like reducing background apps. With our free collection and delivery across Oxford, you don’t even need to leave your study spot!

4. Cracked Screens from Rushing Between Classes

Accidents happen, especially when you’re dashing between lectures or study groups. A cracked laptop screen can make it impossible to read your notes or submit assignments, and it’s a common issue we see among Oxford students during exam season.

How We Fix It: We replace laptop screens starting at £95 (£80.75 service charge with discount, plus parts cost). Most screen repairs are completed within 3 hours, so you’re back to studying in no time. Mention our student discount when booking!

5. Lost Data When You Need Your Notes the Most

Losing your dissertation draft or revision notes right before an exam is a nightmare. Data loss can happen due to accidental deletion, hardware failure, or malware—something no student has time for during exams.

How We Fix It: Our data recovery service starts at £80 (£68 service charge with discount, plus parts if applicable), with a 90% success rate. We’ve recovered critical files for countless students, ensuring you don’t lose your hard work. We also offer virus removal to prevent future issues.
