PC repair Johannesburg
PC repair in Johannesburg for no-power faults, freezing, malware, upgrades and cooling problems.
Desktop PCs fail differently from laptops. A no-power PC may have a power supply, motherboard, RAM, graphics card or cabling problem. A freezing PC may be overheating, infected, underpowered, or running from a failing drive.
Repair approach
We diagnose the cause before recommending the repair.
Changing parts blindly can become expensive. We check the power path, signs of short circuits, RAM behaviour, storage health, graphics output and temperatures before recommending parts.
Many PCs do not need to be replaced. A proper SSD, RAM upgrade, fresh cooling service or malware cleanup can bring a working computer back to practical speed. If the storage drive is failing, data recovery becomes the priority before any reinstall.
Diagnostic framework
What we check before quoting.
A proper repair quote should come from evidence: symptom testing, visual inspection, part condition and repair economics.
- PowerPSU, motherboard light, power button, fan spin and short-circuit symptoms.
- DisplayMonitor, graphics output, cable, GPU and onboard display tests.
- PerformanceStorage health, RAM pressure, malware, startup load and cooling.
- DataDrive condition, backup state, recovery options and reinstall risk.

Common faults and what the inspection looks for.
Use this table to understand where your fault may fit. The final quote depends on the exact model and diagnostic result.
| Fault | What you may notice | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| PC not turning on | No lights, no fans, no response | Power supply, motherboard or button path |
| PC freezing | Locks under load, restarts, blue screen | Heat, RAM, storage or software |
| Virus or malware | Popups, browser hijacks, slow performance | Malware scan and cleanup |
| Data recovery | Drive not opening, missing files, clicking drive | Data-first inspection |
| Upgrade | Slow startup, old hard drive, low RAM | SSD and RAM recommendation |
Repair decision
Business and home PCs need different decisions
A home PC can sometimes wait. A business PC that holds accounting data, customer files or design work needs a faster decision path. We help separate urgent recovery work from normal repair work.
That is why we prefer a quote-first process. A device can look badly damaged but need one sensible part. Another device can look clean from the outside but have a deeper board, liquid or power fault. The inspection keeps the decision grounded.
