What We Can Fix on Your Computer
If your computer takes ages to start, freezes during basic tasks or struggles with simple programs, we can check the drive, RAM and system health, and often speed it up with repairs or upgrades.
Failing hard drives can cause freezing, crashing and data loss. We replace failing drives with SSDs where possible and can attempt data transfer if the old drive is still readable.
If the tower shows no lights or fan movement, or shuts off randomly, we can test the power supply, board and other components to find out what’s failing.
Dust buildup and old thermal paste can cause overheating, loud fans and sudden shutdowns. We can clean out the system, refresh thermal paste and improve airflow to keep things running cooler.
Computer repair pricing depends on the type of fault and which parts need to be replaced or upgraded. We always confirm the cost before starting any work and keep you informed if deeper testing reveals additional issues.
If the computer is very old, unstable or not worth investing into, we’ll be honest and help you decide whether repair or replacement is the best move.
Basic diagnostics often happen within 24–48 hours. Simple repairs, like a power supply swap or drive replacement, may be completed the same day or next day, depending on parts availability and workload. More complex issues can take longer for proper testing.
For most desktop PC issues, you can just bring the tower. If you’re having problems specifically with the monitor, keyboard, mouse or cables, bringing those can help us test.
Yes. This usually points to a failing drive, cable issue or boot configuration problem. We can check the drive’s health, connections and settings, then advise you on repair or data recovery options.
Often, yes. Dust in fans and heatsinks, old thermal paste and poor airflow can cause heat and noise. We can clean the system, refresh thermal paste and check if any fans or components need replacement.
In many cases, upgrading to an SSD, adding RAM or upgrading certain parts like the power supply or graphics card can extend the life of your syst
Yes, we work on many custom and prebuilt gaming systems, including troubleshooting crashes, no-display issues, power problems and performance issues. We can also advise on cooling and power requirements for new parts.
For many repairs, like power supply or other component replacements, your data is not touched. If the drive is failing or we need to work directly on storage or the operating system, we’ll discuss data backup and recovery options with you first. No shop can guarantee data, but we handle it carefully.
Intermittent issues can be tricky, but we can run tests on memory, drives, power and temperatures to track down likely causes. Once we find the problem, we’ll explain your options and costs.
Yes. We help with home PCs, student computers and small business systems. If you manage several office computers, we can discuss repair or upgrade options for multiple devices.
If a stable repair isn’t possible or doesn’t make financial sense, we’ll explain why in simple terms. We can still often help with data-focused solutions (where possible) and give honest advice about replacement options without pushing you into anything.
