COMMON DESKTOP PROBLEMS
What we fix, and what actually causes it.
No display / won’t POST
Checked in order — power supply output, RAM seating, CMOS battery and the motherboard itself — before assuming the worst.
Random restarts or shutdowns
Often a failing power supply unit under load, or overheating — we test the PSU on the bench rather than guessing.
Overheating, loud fans, thermal shutdown
Dust-clogged heatsinks and dried-out thermal paste on the CPU and GPU — cleaned and repasted.
Graphics glitches or GPU not detected
Reseated, reflowed, or replaced depending on whether it’s a connection issue or a genuinely failed card.
Slow performance, ready for an upgrade
RAM and SSD upgrades fitted same day — often the cheapest way to make an old desktop usable again.
Constant blue screens (BSOD)
Memory diagnostic and drive health check run to isolate whether it’s RAM, storage, or a driver conflict.
NEED PARTS FITTED?
Genuine RAM, SSDs and components — sold and fitted.
Matched to your exact motherboard and case, not just sold over the counter.
