Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about gaming pc repair in Galashiels, Scottish Borders.
Every gaming PC job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your gaming PC. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most gaming pc repair jobs in Galashiels are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in TD1 — High Street, Channel Street, Bank Street — and keep you updated by message until the gaming PC is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full TD1 postcode area. That includes High Street, Channel Street, Bank Street, the Town Centre, Tweedbank border, the Station side, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We work with every major brand and configuration in Galashiels. Whether your gaming PC is consumer, business-grade, or a custom build, send us the model details and we'll let you know what's involved.
Most game-crash callouts in Galashiels come down to one of: overheating (GPU or CPU thermal throttle), unstable memory (XMP-related), PSU not delivering enough power under load, or a corrupt graphics driver. We test methodically — temp logs under load, RAM stability test, PSU calibration check, fresh driver install. Once we've identified the cause, the fix is typically quick: paste, fan clean, RAM tuning, or a PSU swap.
Yes — possibly. Artifacting is symptomatic, not always terminal. For Galashiels customers we test under load, watch temps, and check if the artifacts move with heat (suggests a thermal/solder issue) or are consistent (suggests dead VRAM). Cooler refresh + thermal pad replacement fixes a meaningful share. Component-level repair (BGA reflow, VRAM swap) is possible for high-end cards where it's worth the labour. We always quote vs. replacement value first.
Yes — and we'll plan it properly rather than just upselling parts. For Galashiels gamers, the highest-impact upgrades depend on your bottleneck: GPU for higher resolutions or framerates, CPU for sim/strategy games, RAM if you're streaming, NVMe SSD for load times. We always check PSU headroom, motherboard CPU support, and case GPU clearance before recommending anything. Compatibility check is free.
