Every gaming PC job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts.

No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most gaming pc repair jobs in Penicuik 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 EH26 — High Street, Bog Road, Carlops Road — and keep you updated by message until the gaming PC is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH26 postcode area. That includes High Street, Bog Road, Carlops Road, Mauricewood, Cuiken, Pomathorn, 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 Penicuik. 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.
Common causes for Penicuik gamers: GPU thermal throttling (dust + dried paste), unstable RAM (XMP profile issues), failing PSU under load, or driver corruption. We diagnose by stress-testing components individually — Furmark for the GPU, MemTest86 for RAM, Prime95 for CPU stability — and watching temps and clocks. Most game-only crashes are GPU heat or PSU related. Honest initial diagnostic; we'll quote for the actual fix once we know which component is at fault.
Yes — sometimes. Artifacts (random pixels, lines, strange colours, texture corruption) are usually one of: VRAM failure on the card, GPU core failure, overheating, or a failing power circuit. For Penicuik customers we diagnose with stress tools and a thermal camera. Reflow or repaste fixes some cases (especially older cards with thermal pad issues); VRAM-level failures sometimes need component-level repair. We'll tell you upfront whether it's worth fixing or replacing.
Yes — gaming PC upgrades are a regular Penicuik job. Common upgrades: GPU swap (the biggest single performance bump), CPU upgrade (within the existing socket), RAM increase, NVMe SSD for faster game loads, AIO cooler replacement for high-TDP chips. We'll check your motherboard, PSU, and case clearance before recommending anything — no point upgrading the GPU if your PSU can't feed it.
