Common PC Problems We Fix
- PC won't boot — no POST, beep codes, or stuck on the manufacturer logo. Could be a motherboard, PSU, RAM, or storage failure.
- Blue screen errors (BSOD) — stop codes that point to driver conflicts, hardware faults, or system corruption. Our engineers read the dump and fix the root cause.
- Slow performance — disk thrashing, high CPU usage, startup bloat, or thermal throttling. Diagnosis + optimization gets your PC running like new.
- Driver problems — missing, outdated, or conflicting drivers causing device malfunctions, display issues, or audio problems.
- Hardware upgrades — RAM upgrades, SSD installation, GPU swaps, and PSU replacements done right (onsite where available).
- Custom build issues — new builds that won't POST, incompatible components, or BIOS configuration problems.
PC Troubleshooting Process
Our engineers follow a systematic troubleshooting process: identify the symptom, isolate the cause, test the hypothesis, apply the fix, and verify the result. For software issues, this often means reviewing event logs, running diagnostics, and testing in safe mode. For hardware issues, it means swapping components, running Memtest, checking SMART data, and measuring voltages.
Remote PC Support vs Onsite PC Repair
Remote PC support
Most PC troubleshooting can be done remotely — software errors, driver issues, configuration problems, and performance optimization don't require physical access. Through Remote Assist, an engineer can securely access your PC online to diagnose and fix the problem.
Onsite PC repair
Physical repairs — component replacement, thermal paste application, cable management, and hands-on diagnostics — need an onsite visit. Onsite PC repair is available where Fixspert engineers operate. Post your problem with location details to see if local technicians are available.
PC Maintenance to Prevent Problems
Regular PC maintenance prevents most problems before they happen. This includes system cleanup, driver updates, security scans, thermal cleaning (dust removal), and storage management. A well-maintained PC runs faster, lasts longer, and crashes less. See our computer maintenance page for details.
