Desktop won't turn on, shuts off by itself, or shows nothing on the screen? I come to your home or office, find the actual fault, and fix it at your desk. Towers, all-in-ones, office PCs and gaming rigs. One bilingual, CompTIA A+ certified technician, usually the same day.
If those don't solve it, the problem is inside the case, which is where I come in.
Desktops are built from standard parts. A power supply, drive, RAM stick, fan or graphics card can be swapped individually, so one failed part rarely means a new computer. You keep your files, your programs and your setup exactly as they were.
Replacement makes more sense when several parts are failing at once, or when an older PC can't run Windows 11 and Windows 10 no longer gets security updates. I'll tell you honestly which side of that line your computer is on. More on that decision: reinstall Windows or buy a new computer?
Crashes in games, graphics glitches, a PC that won't POST after a new part, a power supply too small for a new graphics card, or temperatures climbing under load: I diagnose gaming and custom-built PCs at your desk, component by component. Planning an upgrade or a new build instead? See gaming PC repair and upgrades and custom PC builds.
No fix, no fee. Your files stay on your computer, in your home.
Dell OptiPlex, Inspiron and XPS towers, HP Pavilion, EliteDesk and ProDesk, Lenovo ThinkCentre and IdeaCentre, Acer and ASUS desktops, small-form-factor office PCs, custom and gaming towers, and all-in-ones from HP, Dell, Lenovo and Apple. All-in-ones are built more like laptops, so some repairs take longer; I'll tell you up front.

“Stephane went above and beyond during my service call. Diagnosed the issue and had parts to make the repair on the spot. His computer knowledge exceeds what you typically encounter from competitors.”
“I’m happy to give Stephane the highest marks – five. When my old desktop computer finally gave up the ghost he was quick to respond when I called for help.”
“Amazing service from Stephane pc was broken less then 24 hour turn around time!”
“I built my first custom PC and it wouldn't POST after assembly. I called Hardwired IT and Stephane walked me through diagnosing two separate issues.”
Most desktop repairs happen at your home or office, at your desk: diagnosis, part replacement, cleaning and testing. If a specific part has to be ordered, you get a firm price first and I come back to install it.
Usually, if one or two parts have failed: power supplies, drives, RAM and fans are standard and swappable. It makes less sense if several parts are failing or the PC can't run Windows 11, since Windows 10 no longer gets security updates. I'll tell you honestly which applies.
Check that the monitor is on the right input and plugged into the graphics card if you have one. If that's fine, the usual causes are a loose or failed RAM stick, a graphics card fault or a motherboard problem, which I can test on site.
Hardware repairs like a power supply, fan or RAM don't touch your files. If the drive itself is failing, I copy your files off first, before anything else.
Yes. Crashes in games, graphics problems, overheating, undersized power supplies and builds that won't POST are all diagnosed component by component at your desk.
