Common Computer Problems We Fix

Whatever’s going wrong with your desktop or PC, chances are we’ve seen it before. Here are some of the most common issues we deal with:

Slow Performance

Computers grinding to a halt, taking ages to boot, or struggling with basic tasks. Often caused by ageing hardware, bloated software, or malware.

Virus & Malware

Pop-ups, strange behaviour, or security warnings. We remove infections, clean up your system, and make sure you’re properly protected going forward.

Hardware Failures

Failed hard drives, faulty RAM, dead power supplies, or overheating. We diagnose the issue and replace components to get you back up and running.

Blue Screen Errors

The dreaded blue screen of death. Usually a sign of a driver conflict, failing hardware, or a corrupted Windows installation. We’ll find the cause and fix it.

Windows Issues

Update failures, startup problems, corrupted files, or a system that just won’t behave. We can repair, reinstall, or upgrade Windows as needed.

Upgrades & Speedups

SSD upgrades, RAM increases, and general tune-ups that can breathe new life into an older PC for a fraction of the cost of buying new.

Computer Repair FAQs

Is it worth repairing my old computer or should I buy a new one?
That depends on the age of the machine and what’s wrong with it. In many cases, a simple upgrade like an SSD or extra RAM can make an older PC feel like new for a fraction of the cost. We’ll always give you an honest assessment — if we think a repair isn’t worth it, we’ll tell you.
Can you fix my computer remotely?
Yes, many software issues can be diagnosed and fixed remotely. This is often the quickest option and means we can sometimes help the same day you get in touch. If the problem turns out to be hardware-related, we’ll arrange an on-site visit or collection instead.
How long does a typical PC repair take?
Most software fixes take between one and two hours. Hardware repairs like replacing a hard drive or power supply are usually completed within 24 to 48 hours, depending on parts availability. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe before starting any work.
Will I lose my files during a repair?
We always do our best to preserve your data. If there’s any risk of data loss during the repair process, we’ll let you know beforehand and can back up your files first. If your hard drive has already failed, we can advise on data recovery options.
