Common computer faults we fix
Desktops fail in dozens of ways, from a dead power button to a drive that grinds to a halt. Computer repair covers every kind of desktop fault, whether it is hardware, software or a mix of both. Here is a quick guide to what the most common symptoms usually mean.
| Computer Symptom | Likely Cause |
|---|---|
| Will not turn on at all | Power supply or motherboard fault |
| Random freezing and crashes | Overheating, RAM or driver issues |
| Very slow performance | Failing hard drive or too little RAM |
| Blue screen errors | Faulty hardware or corrupt Windows |
| Loud whirring or clicking | Failing fan or dying hard drive |
Computer will not turn on
A dead machine usually points to the power supply, the motherboard (the main circuit board) or a loose internal connection. Our computer repair engineers test each component in turn so you only pay to replace the part that has actually failed.
Freezing, crashing and blue screens
Regular freezes and blue screen errors are often caused by overheating, faulty memory or corrupt drivers. We clean out dust, test the RAM and repair Windows so your desktop stays stable under load. Booking computer repair early stops a minor glitch becoming a major failure.
Slow and sluggish performance
If your computer takes an age to start up and open programs, a failing hard drive or a shortage of memory is usually to blame. A solid state drive and a memory upgrade can make an older machine feel brand new. Our computer repair team can advise the best upgrade for your budget.
Do this first before you book
A few simple checks can help narrow down the fault before we arrive.
- Check the power and cables. Make sure the wall socket works and every cable is firmly seated.
- Listen for fans and beeps. Fan noise with no picture points to a display or graphics fault rather than power.
- Note any error messages. Blue screen codes help us pinpoint the exact cause quickly.
- Run a Windows update. Microsoft explains the process on the official Windows support site.
