Computer won't turn on, suddenly crashes, freezes or throws up the dreaded blue screen of death?

Computer Won’t Turn On

You press the power button and nothing happens! No beeps, clicks, clunks or lights. Oh no! Is your computer totally dead?
First of all, don’t panic! Check all the obvious stuff first, like is the power turned on at the wall? Does a different appliance work in that socket? Is the fuse blown?

Once you've checked the basics, it probably is best to have us look at it. We can quickly diagnose what the problem is using the latest testing equipment and years of experience, then we'll come back to you with a fixed price to repair the PC with quality replacement components.

Computer Fails to Start

This can happen suddenly and without any visible cause. Sometimes your computer begins to load but after some time stops responding during start up process. It may even try to reboot and repair several times before giving up - this is known as a boot repair loop, and is very frustrating.

First of all check and remove any CD’s, DVD’s, USB flash drives, memory cards. Also unplug any digital cameras, printers or external hard drives then try to restart your computer. If it fails again, something else is causing the problem - could be hardware or maybe software related.

At this stage, we would need to run tests and try basic repairs in our workshop - click on the "Book a repair" button to pre-check in your PC for further diagnosis.

Computer Freezes and/or Restarts

It can be two kind of problems causing a computer to freeze and restart.
First and most probable one is a software problem - Viruses, Trojans, Malware and Adware can cause system instability. When your systems detects a problem it restarts to prevent further damage. These problems can be solved by cleaning unwanted programs and spyware, upgrading drivers or reinstalling operating system. Our computer engineers can test to see if it's a software problem and resolve it quickly.

The second (and more serious) issue would be a hardware problem, such as a component has failed due to age, or overuse.

This can only be confirmed by physical testing. A faulty power supply, graphic card, processor or even hard drive can cause these types of problem. Our PC technicians will thoroughly test your computer to see what the problem is, and provide an unbeatable price to repair.

Computer Tune Up

"My computer is running slow and when I start it up the desktop takes forever to load. What can it be?"
"My computer takes forever to start up or shut down and will even just shut itself off.... help!"

Sound familiar? Computers do become slow over time. Corrupt, old and redundant files quickly build up in the computer and may need clearing out. Or perhaps you've downloaded a piece of bloatware along the way?
In fact 1 in every 3 PC's we see tend to have some sort of unwanted software installed!

We can analyse your PC and clean out all the useless junk that has accumalated in your PC, and optimise all your settings to ensure your PC is running at it's best. We can also advise on possible upgrades while we check it over, to give your computer a new lease of life.
