In order to comfortably repair a computer, a certain material base of components, programs and other tools is required.
Every computer specialist usually comes to this on his own, but once again, when repairing a computer, he encounters the same problem: he is missing something and he calls his friends again and again in search of certain tools or surfs the Internet if it is the program he needs.
To avoid this problem, I will provide a list of what a novice computer technician should have on hand.

Necessary computer components for diagnostics of breakdown
You will also need various adapters.
Common Drivers
Necessary computer components for diagnostics of breakdown
Power supply unit – very popular in our Russian viber data power grids, when the voltage “jumps” and “spikes” the power supply unit takes all the blows on itself and very often burns out and for diagnostics of many problems you can’t do without it. It’s better to get a 24-pin power supply unit, this is the power cord from it to the motherboard, its connector should consist of 24 pins, as it will fit any motherboard with both 20 pin and 24 pin.
AGP video card – required to check the functionality of another video card, not too expensive, you can buy NVIDIA GeForce MX 2 for 200 rubles
PCI video adapter (Old model video adapter) is also a video card, but it will fit any computer because it connects to PCI
A second monitor – it’s not critical to have one, but it’s not very convenient to turn off your computer every time and connect the one being repaired to yours; it’s better to install a separate table on which to place the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
You will also need various adapters.
The PS/2 to USB adapter will help you if the computer being repaired has USB keyboard and mouse support disabled in the BIOS.

Another very popular tool for repairs is an external storage device, such as a USB flash drive (flash drive) or an external box with a hard drive that is also connected via USB. If you have already acquired one of these devices, then copy the most necessary programs and drivers there.
Common Drivers
Sound – Realtek AC 97 or Realtek HD if the computer reboots when installing these drivers, then read this article
Video - Today there are two companies developing video cards - AMD with Radeon video cards and NVIDIA. Download drivers from both manufacturers.
After you have stocked up on all the necessary components and now your desk drawers look like a warehouse of various hardware and your flash drive is “filled” to the brim with various programs and drivers, then you are ready for any computer repair.
I would also like to say that you will have a wild desire to sell this or that component if it is needed for the computer being repaired. In this regard, I recommend not to miss the moment of purchasing various computer components at low prices from hands, or try to ask your friends for their old computer parts that they do not need.
Gather your computer repair base, learn, improve and good luck to you in your endeavors.
