Building your own PC can be a lot of fun – but its not at all fun when it doesn’t work!

Computer Build not booting?
$80 Flat Rate DIY DIAGNOSIS FEE
Why do we charge this fee?
Most DIY build parts are still under warranty and as such you’re unlikley to need to purcahse anything from us to get your computer working.
Sometimes we will literally spend hours swapping out components and running tests with “known good” cards in order to get to the bottom of your issue.
We’ve found that a flat, upfront fee is the most fair way to approach and charge for this service.
Power Supply Check
About 30% of the time, the issue is with modular power supplies. Inexperienced consumers connect the motherboard power supply cord, to the CPU power supply and cook the CPU and Motherboard. It’s VERY EASY to do this, and we see it all the time.
Ram Check
Failing or DOA sticks of RAM can cause a computer not to boot.
Sometimes improper ordering or failure to correctly configure the motherboard can also cause issues with RAM / Booting
GPU Check
The prize piece of your build! At about $1500 + a 3 month wait Nobody likes a bad graphics card.
Thankfully however we’ve found that most DIY build GPU’s are not the cause of any major issues.
Motherboard HEaders
These at the little black pins which connect the Power On, Restart and other bottons and lights.
People new to the DIY PC Build scene usually get these around the wrong way. 🙂
Faulty Parts
Despite your best efforts and ours, sometimes you’ve just got a faulty part.
We can offer a local replacement option for you to buy, or recommend how to get a replacement from your supplier.
Warranty Report
Some suppliers want an independent report to certify that the PC indeed does not work.
We are able to do this for you as part of the assessment charge.
Please bring your computer in for a free assessment and quote. No appointment required.
