Common Computer Issues We Fix

Hardware troubleshooting and replacement

Computer on the fritz? We've seen it all. From motherboards that suddenly quit to power supplies that buzz like angry bees, hardware issues can stop you dead in your tracks.

Our techs don't just swap parts – we diagnose the real problem first. Why replace an entire graphics card when sometimes it's just a loose connection or outdated driver? That said, when components do fail, we stock quality replacements for:


  • Motherboards that won't POST

  • Hard drives making clicking sounds (never a good sign!)

  • RAM that's causing random crashes

  • Power supplies that shut down under load

  • Graphics cards showing artifacts


We'll even help with those nightmare cable management situations. You know, the ones that look like digital spaghetti inside your case? Yeah, we fix those too.



Software conflicts and operating system errors

Blue screens making you see red? We get it.


Those cryptic error codes and mysterious system crashes aren't just annoying – they're productivity killers. Our techs speak fluent Windows, macOS, and Linux, so we can translate those frustrating messages into actual solutions.


Common problems we tackle daily:

  • DLL errors that keep programs from launching

  • Driver conflicts causing random freezes

  • Windows updates gone wrong (we've all been there)

  • Boot failures where your computer just... gives up

  • Software that fights with other software


Most shops just wipe your drive and start over. Not us. We'll preserve your data and settings whenever possible, because nobody wants to spend hours reconfiguring everything.

Virus removal and security solutions

That pop-up promising you're the "1,000,000th visitor" isn't bringing good news. Trust me.


Malware comes in countless forms these days – from obvious ransomware demanding Bitcoin to sneaky background processes stealing your data. Our removal process doesn't just delete the obvious threats – we hunt down every trace.


What we commonly remove:
  • Ransomware that's locked your files

  • Browser hijackers redirecting your searches

  • Cryptominers slowing your system to a crawl

  • Keyloggers capturing your passwords

  • Rootkits hiding deep in your system

After cleaning, we'll help fortify your defenses with proper security tools and teach you the warning signs so you don't get caught again. Because the best virus removal is the one you never need.

Data recovery for lost or corrupted files

That sinking feeling when you realize important files are gone – we understand the panic.

Whether it's deleted wedding photos, a corrupted thesis paper, or business documents that disappeared after a crash, data loss hits hard. But before you give up hope, bring your device to us. What seems gone isn't always lost forever.


Our recovery toolkit handles:
  • Accidentally deleted files (even after emptying the recycle bin)

  • Corrupted documents that won't open

  • Data from formatted or damaged drives

  • Recovery from failed SSDs and HDDs

  • Photos and videos from damaged memory cards


We've rescued thousands of files others declared "impossible to recover." No guarantees in the data recovery world, but we have tricks most repair shops don't even know about.

Performance optimization for slow computers

Remember when your computer used to boot up fast? Those were the days.

A sluggish computer isn't something you just have to live with. Most slowdowns come from fixable issues, not outdated hardware. Before you shell out for a new system, let us work our magic.


Our optimization process includes:

  • Startup program auditing (do you really need 37 things launching at boot?)

  • Disk cleanup and defragmentation

  • Background service optimization

  • Memory leak identification

  • Thermal throttling solutions

The performance difference can be dramatic – we've seen systems go from taking 5+ minutes to boot to under 30 seconds. Your existing hardware probably has plenty of life left – it just needs the digital equivalent of clearing the cobwebs.

Professional repair using quality components

When you give us the green light, our certified technicians get to work using only premium components. We don't cut corners with cheap parts that'll fail in a few months.


Every replacement component we use meets or exceeds the original manufacturer's specifications. Whether it's a new motherboard, SSD upgrade, or replacement screen, we source reliable parts from trusted suppliers.


Our repair technicians aren't just skilled—they're passionate about computers. They treat your device with the same care they'd give their own, using anti-static equipment and following industry best practices throughout the repair process.

Thorough testing before return

Fixing the immediate problem isn't enough—we need to make sure everything works perfectly together. Before your computer leaves our shop, it undergoes rigorous testing:

  • Extended stress testing to ensure hardware stability

  • Multiple restarts and shutdowns to verify reliability

  • Software functionality checks across various applications

  • Performance benchmarking to confirm everything runs at optimal speed

  • Temperature monitoring to prevent overheating issues

Only when your device passes every test do we call you for pickup. This comprehensive approach means fewer return visits and more reliable repairs. We're not happy until your computer works exactly the way it should.
