Desktop problems people bring to us every week
Most desktop owners put up with a fault for longer than they should — either because they are not sure whether it is worth fixing, or they are not sure who to trust with a tower full of components.
These are the desktop faults we see constantly at our Carrum Downs workshop. If yours matches, you are in the right place.

Why choose Macrotech
Advanced diagnostics. Honest advice. No guesswork.
Desktop repairs done properly start with diagnostics — not assumptions. We test the actual components before we recommend anything, so you know exactly what the problem is and what fixing it will cost.
We have been repairing computers since 2013 — originally in Frankston, now from our Carrum Downs workshop. We work on home desktops, gaming rigs, business towers and professional workstations.
We identify the actual fault before quoting. No part swaps on assumption.
We tell you honestly if the repair cost outweighs the value of the machine.
Full load testing, POST diagnostics and component-level checks in our workshop.
We consider your data before any repair, reinstall or storage work begins.

Desktop repair FAQ
Common questions about desktop computer repairs
Why won't my desktop turn on?
The most common cause is a failed power supply unit. Other causes include a shorted motherboard, a faulty power button, a failed GPU preventing POST, or a damaged internal component. We run systematic power and component tests to find the exact cause before recommending any parts.
Is a desktop repair worth it?
It depends on the age of the machine, the cost of the repair and what you use it for. A $120 PSU replacement on a five-year-old desktop that still runs well is almost always worth it. A motherboard fault on a ten-year-old entry-level machine may not be. We compare the numbers honestly before you commit to anything.
Can you fix a gaming PC that keeps crashing?
Yes. Gaming PC crashes are commonly caused by GPU instability, a PSU that cannot sustain load, overheating under sustained load, unstable RAM, driver conflicts or a failing storage drive. We run load testing and diagnostics to identify which component is at fault rather than replacing parts on assumption.
Can you recover data from a desktop that will not boot?
In many cases, yes. If the storage drive itself is intact, data can often be recovered even if Windows will not start. We assess the drive health before doing any repair work that could put your files at risk. For more complex cases, we can discuss data recovery options separately.
Can you upgrade an old desktop with an SSD and more RAM?
Yes. An SSD upgrade is one of the most cost-effective improvements for an older desktop and can make a significant difference to everyday speed. We check compatibility, carry out the upgrade and migrate your Windows installation so you do not lose anything.
Do you repair custom-built PCs?
Yes. Custom builds can have issues that off-the-shelf machines do not — bad cable connections, incompatible parts, incorrect BIOS settings or unstable overclocking. We diagnose custom PCs with the same systematic approach, including component-level testing under load.
Do you repair business desktops and workstations?
Yes. We service business desktops, office towers and professional workstations used for CAD, engineering, video editing and general business computing. If you have multiple machines or a small office setup, call us to discuss the best approach.
Do I need to book before bringing in a desktop computer?
Bookings are recommended — especially for large tower cases or same-day turnaround requests — as they allow us to plan workshop time and prepare. Walk-ins are welcome during business hours. Call 03 8759 1801 or book online before you come in.
