Gaming PC Repair and PC Build Service in Perth

A gaming PC that crashes under load but seems fine on the desktop is one of the most common jobs we see. The usual causes are a graphics driver that clashes with an update, memory that is unstable at its rated speed, a power supply that cannot keep up at full load, or a component overheating.

We test each one under load until the crash repeats, then fix the cause, whether that is a driver, a BIOS setting, a memory profile or a part. The all-in diagnostic covers finding it and the repair labour. If a part needs replacing, we tell you which and what it costs before fitting it.

When a gaming PC performs below what its parts should manage, something is holding it back. It is often heat, with the processor or graphics card slowing itself down to stay cool, but it can also be memory running below its rated speed, the wrong power settings, a game installed on a slow drive, or background software.

We benchmark it, find the bottleneck and fix it, then benchmark again, so you can see the difference in numbers.

Dust clogs filters and heatsinks, and thermal paste dries out over a few years. The result is a PC that gets louder and slower as it heats up, and in the worst cases shuts itself off. Perth summers make it worse.

A repaste removes the cooler, cleans both surfaces and applies premium thermal compound, which often drops temperatures a long way. For a PC that also needs a full dust-out, the deep clean covers the whole system.

Graphics card faults range from a corrupted driver to a card that has failed. We test the card in the PC and on its own, check it is seated and powered properly, and clean-install the latest Nvidia or AMD drivers. Many "dead" graphics cards turn out to be a driver, a power cable or a slot problem.

If the card itself has failed, we tell you, and fit a replacement if you want one. We do not do component-level repair on graphics card boards.

Gaming laptops run hot in a small space, and they throttle hard once the vents clog and the paste dries. We strip them down fully, repaste the processor and graphics, and clean the fans and vents, so they hold their performance through a long session. For any other gaming laptop fault, see laptop repair.

Your parts built into a working PC: full assembly, a basic cable tidy, Windows and drivers installed, and a benchmark check to confirm everything performs as it should. It comes with a 30-day warranty and a free Windows 11 key.

The right choice if you want a solid, working PC and are happy to leave the tuning.

Everything in Essential, plus full professional cable management, processor and memory tuning with PBO and XMP or EXPO switched on, a written benchmark report, and RGB lighting synced across the parts.

Memory that runs at its rated speed and a processor that boosts properly make a real difference in games, and most self-built PCs never have either switched on.

Everything in Performance, plus a 24-hour stress test burn-in to catch any faulty part before you take it home, premium thermal compound, airflow and dust filter setup, a priority same-day slot where parts allow, and an extended 60-day warranty.

For a high-end build where you want every part proven before it goes home.

Bought a new case? We move everything across: motherboard, processor, graphics card, power supply, drives and fans. The cooler comes off and goes back on with fresh thermal paste, the front panel and USB connections are wired up, the cables are tidied, and the PC is stress tested with the temperatures checked before you collect it. Your old case comes back with you, and the work has a 30-day warranty.

It is $129 with an air cooler, or $169 with an AIO liquid cooler, since the radiator and pump have to be moved and mounted too. Send us the case model and your parts list first and we confirm everything fits, from graphics card length to cooler height and radiator mounts, before you book. Full pro cable management can be added for a show-build finish.

A new graphics card seated in the slot, power connected, old drivers fully removed, and the latest Nvidia or AMD drivers installed and verified stable. We check your power supply can handle the new card before fitting it, since that is the most common reason a new card crashes.

An aftermarket air cooler or AIO fitted with premium paste and the temperatures verified afterwards, and extra case fans mounted and routed for clean airflow. Better cooling means higher sustained boost clocks and a quieter PC.

Most gaming PCs leave performance on the table. We set PBO, XMP or EXPO and the BIOS power limits properly, which typically gives 10 to 15 percent more processor performance. For more, a safe, stability-tested overclock with the temperature and voltage limits set correctly. A full benchmark report with logged temperatures shows exactly what changed.

A basic tidy bundles and routes the cables, or a full pro job routes everything behind the tray for a show-build finish and better airflow. RGB setup gets iCUE, Armoury Crate, Mystic Light and ARGB working together, so the lighting syncs across every part without software fighting itself.

OBS configured, capture cards set up, and dual-PC streaming rigs configured and tested, so you can go live without dropped frames.

Router quality-of-service tuned so games get priority, for lower ping and a stable connection during online play, even with the rest of the house streaming.

HDMI ports, disc drives, overheating and fan noise on PS5 and Xbox consoles diagnosed and repaired. We confirm the fault and the price before starting.
