PC repair in Wolverhampton — the hardware faults we fix
No power or no display
A dead power button, fans that spin with a black screen, or a PC that starts and stops. Several parts can cause the same symptom, so we test the power supply, memory and graphics before blaming the motherboard. One-year warranty.
Motherboard faults
Dead USB ports, memory that isn’t detected, constant instability or no POST can all point to the board — but only once the other suspects have been ruled out. If a new board is needed, we source a compatible one and tell you whether it is worth doing. One-year warranty.
Power supply replacement
An ageing PSU causes shutdowns under load, random restarts or a PC that won’t switch on, and a failing one can damage other parts. We swap in a properly rated unit that won’t be working at its limit. One-year warranty.
RAM replacement and testing
Blue screens, freezes and crashes when lots of programs are open are often down to a single faulty memory stick. We test each module on its own, replace the bad one and can add capacity where the board allows. One-year warranty.
Graphics card problems
Flickering, strange coloured blocks, games crashing or no video signal at all. We rule out drivers and cables first, then clean and re-paste the card or supply and install a suitable new one. One-year warranty.
Processor faults
Less common, but a processor that has run hot for years can crash under load or stop the PC booting. We confirm the fault, renew the thermal paste and fit a compatible CPU where it makes financial sense. One-year warranty.
Hard drive and SSD failure
Clicking noises, very slow start-ups, disk errors or a drive that disappears. We replace failing HDDs and SSDs and copy your files across wherever the old drive can still be read. One-year warranty.
Overheating and noisy fans
Dust builds up around the CPU cooler, graphics card and case fans while old thermal paste dries out. A proper internal clean and fresh paste bring temperatures and noise back down. One-year warranty.
USB, audio and port faults
Dead front USB ports, crackling headphone sockets or a display output that no longer works. We find out whether the fault is on the motherboard, an expansion card or the case wiring, then repair it. One-year warranty.
Virus removal Wolverhampton and other software fixes
Virus and malware removal
Pop-ups, a browser that has been taken over, or a PC that suddenly runs slowly can mean an infection. We remove the malware, set up reputable antivirus protection and explain how to stay safe. If system files are badly damaged, we will tell you if a fresh install is the better option.
Windows reinstall
When a PC is clogged with years of software, damaged by a failed update or still unstable after an infection, starting again with a fresh Windows 10 or 11 installation is often the answer. We install the drivers and settings for you, and talk through backing up your files first.
Software diagnostics
Corrupted system files, driver conflicts and bad settings can look exactly like hardware failure. Tracking down the real cause regularly saves customers from paying for parts they didn’t need.
Driver updates and tune-ups
Out-of-date or clashing drivers make many desktops unstable. We check what is installed, update it and tidy up the system where the existing installation is worth keeping.
Data recovery from failed desktop drives
Family photos, business records and years of saved work can all be stuck on a drive that has stopped working or a PC that won’t boot. We can often retrieve files from desktops whose storage is failing or has died, and from deleted partitions and corrupted file systems.
How much can be saved depends on the damage: a drive that still partly reads has far better prospects than one with physical damage. We assess it first, tell you honestly what is likely to be recoverable and what it will cost, and never charge for an unsuccessful attempt without discussing it with you beforehand.
PC upgrades that give an older desktop a new lease of life
Often the right upgrade is far cheaper than a new computer:
SSD upgrade
Swapping a mechanical hard drive for an NVMe or SATA SSD is the biggest speed boost most older PCs can get, with your files moved across for you.
More RAM
Extra memory makes multitasking, browsing with lots of tabs and heavier software much smoother.
Graphics card upgrade
A stronger card for gaming, photo and video editing, or running several monitors.
Processor upgrade
A quicker processor, if your motherboard can take one.
Extra storage
Add another drive for files, photos and games.
Better cooling
An improved CPU cooler or extra case fans to keep the PC cooler and quieter.
We only recommend upgrades that are worth the money for how you use the PC, and all upgrades carry the one-year warranty. Want a brand-new machine instead? See our custom gaming PC build Wolverhampton page.

Diagnosed properly — not a pop-up job
Plenty of people come to us after paying elsewhere for parts that didn’t fix the problem. We work the other way round: find the cause, then quote, then repair. A PC that won’t boot may need a new motherboard, or it may just need one inexpensive memory stick; a random shutdown could be a failing PSU or simply a clogged fan. Only careful testing tells you which.
The Wolverhampton shop is one of ten CrC Repair® branches in an award-winning network, all working to the same standard. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
How we work is explained on our high-quality repairs page, or see the national computer repair UK page for every branch.

Dropping your computer off in Wolverhampton
Our shop is at 54-55 Dudley Street, WV1 3ER, set into the front of the Mander Centre. Look for Starbucks and Metro Bank opposite — we sit between McDonald’s and Greggs, a short walk from the city-centre banks. Monday to Saturday we’re open 10am–6pm; Sundays we’re closed.
Parking with a PC tower
Towers are awkward to carry, so park at the Mander Centre if you can — it’s the closest. NCP Pipers Row and the Wulfrun Centre car park are the alternatives.
Public transport
The bus station and Wolverhampton train station are both a few minutes’ walk from the shop.
