Computer faults we commonly assess
A computer that is slow, noisy, unstable or unable to start can have several possible causes. Replacing parts without diagnosis can waste money, so we start by understanding the symptoms and checking the relevant hardware or software.
- No power or no display: power-supply, motherboard, graphics, memory, cable and monitor-related faults.
- Slow performance: ageing hard drives, limited memory, background software, thermal problems or storage issues.
- Windows boot and software faults: startup errors, update problems, corrupted system files and selected malware-related issues.
- Storage problems: failing drives, SSD upgrades and selected data-recovery assessment where a device or drive is damaged.
- Overheating and noise: blocked cooling, worn fans, thermal issues and systems that shut down under load.
- Connectivity and peripherals: selected USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio and accessory faults where diagnosis is practical.
Repair, upgrade or replace?
Not every older computer is worth repairing, but many systems can remain useful after the right targeted work. An SSD upgrade can improve a machine that is bottlenecked by an older hard drive, while extra memory can help systems that regularly run out of available RAM. Hardware upgrades only make sense when the rest of the computer is suitable, so we explain the likely benefit before recommending them.

Important data?
If your computer contains important files, tell us before repair work begins. Where the system still operates, maintain a current backup whenever possible. A damaged drive or unstable computer can deteriorate further.
