๐Ÿฉบ PC Diagnostic & Rebuild Report โ€“ When Things Go Wrong ๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ’ปโš ๏ธ

This time I had a quite unusual case ๐Ÿ˜…

The PC was handed over to me by another computer service company during their busy period. The system itself was originally built by a different shop in Milton Keynes around 2 years ago.

The issue reported:
โžก๏ธ PC was restarting every ~5 minutes ๐Ÿ”„โš ๏ธ

Initial Diagnosis:

First suspicion โ€” power supply ๐Ÿ”Œ

After full testing, this was confirmed:

PG value: 120ms (very close to lower limit of 100ms โŒ)

So yes โ€” PSU was already a problem โšก

Further Inspection Findings:

During diagnostics, I discovered several serious issues with the build:

โŒ Incorrect motherboard choice
CPU: i7-14700KF โšก
Motherboard: B760 chipset
โ†’ Not suitable for this CPU due to power delivery limitations
โš ๏ธ Power supply (850W GameMax)
On paper: enough
Reality: budget PSU not ideal for high-end CPU
โš ๏ธ Damaged front panel I/O connector (see photo)
Recommended Solution:

I advised:
โœ”๏ธ Replace motherboard
โœ”๏ธ Replace power supply

After approval from the owner (via the company), I proceeded with the repair ๐Ÿ”ง

Work Performed:
Full internal cleaning ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’จ (fans, GPU, case)
Replaced motherboard & PSU
Rebuilt system properly

๐Ÿ’ก During reassembly, another issue appeared:

โžก๏ธ AIO cooler didnโ€™t fit anymore ๐Ÿ˜…

Reason:

Previous build used 280mm radiator
Old motherboard: mATX
New motherboard: ATX โ†’ less space

โœ”๏ธ Solution: Replaced with correct 240mm Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro ๐Ÿ’งโ„๏ธ

Additional Fixes & Improvements:
Added GPU support bracket ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช (was included in the box but never installed โŒ)
Improved cable management ๐Ÿ”Œโœจ (limited by case space)

Build Issues Found (Summary):
Mixed fan brands (Arctic / Antec / Thermalright) ๐ŸŽจโŒ
Missing anti-vibration fan rubbers โš ๏ธ
No GPU support bracket โŒ
Non-original fan hub installed โš ๏ธ
Poor cable management ๐Ÿ”Œ
Incorrect component pairing โŒ

New Parts Installed:
Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR5 ๐Ÿง 
PSU: Lian Li SX Platinum 1000W ATX 3.1 โšก

Now the system is properly matched to the i7 14th Gen CPU and ready for stable performance ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ป

Final Result:
Stable system โœ…
Proper power delivery โšก
Improved airflow & structure ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ
Ready for future use ๐Ÿ”ง

Final Note ๐Ÿ’ก

Not all shops care about quality
Donโ€™t trust flashy ratings blindly โญ
Always double-check who you let touch your PC

Some PCs arenโ€™t broken by bad luck โ€” theyโ€™re broken by poor choices and lazy builds ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿฉบ PC Rebuild Report โ€“ From Diesel Engine to RGB Beast ๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ”ฅ

Patient: Custom PC
Symptoms:

CPU fan sounding like a diesel engine ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ˜…
Case fans with โ€œmysterious coloursโ€ ๐ŸŽจโš ๏ธ

Customer contacted me with a video, and from what I saw โ€” diagnosis was already forming ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ก
After a quick discussion, the PC was delivered for a full checkup ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Diagnosis:
Faulty CPU fan bearing โŒ (the โ€œdiesel modeโ€ confirmed ๐Ÿ˜†)
Case fans were standard LED, not RGB/ARGB โ€” so colours were doing whatever they wanted ๐Ÿคฃ
Procedure performed:
Full internal cleaning ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’จ before transplant
Transferred all components (motherboard, GPU, drives, PSU) to a new case ๐Ÿ โœจ
Upgraded cooling from air to AIO water cooling ๐Ÿ’งโ„๏ธ (future-proof ๐Ÿ’ช)
Installed proper ARGB fans ๐ŸŒˆโœจ

๐Ÿ’ก During checkup, I also found:

RAM heatsinks were loose/misaligned โš ๏ธ
โ†’ carefully corrected using a hot air gun ๐Ÿ”ฅ (donโ€™t try this at home ๐Ÿ˜…)
Upgrades & extras:
Added 2 more RAM sticks โ†’ now 32GB DDR4 ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’จ
Installed GPU support bracket ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช (small bonus from me ๐Ÿ˜‰)
Final setup:
Case: AeroCool Skribble ๐Ÿฐ
Fans: 4ร— AeroCool Duo 12 ARGB ๐ŸŒˆ
CPU Cooling: AeroCool Oasis L240 ARGB ๐Ÿ’งโ„๏ธ

Post-op results:
No more diesel sounds ๐ŸšœโŒ
Proper airflow ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ
Full RGB control ๐ŸŒˆ
Clean, powerful, and ready for future upgrades โšก๐Ÿ’ป

๐Ÿ“ธ One of the photos shows what this PC looked like before cleaningโ€ฆ letโ€™s just say it felt like a real boss fight ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’จ

๐ŸŽฎ Dust defeated. System upgraded. Mission complete. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Customer was very impressed with this โ€œnew-oldโ€ PC ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐Ÿฉบ Laptop Surgery Report โ€“ Asus R556LB ๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ’ป

Patient: Slow and tired Asus R556LB ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ’ค
Symptoms: Lagging, sluggish performance, originally running Windows 10 โš ๏ธ

Procedure:

Full internal cleaning ๐Ÿงนโœจ (dust removed, fans & radiators cleared) ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ
CPU thermal paste replaced with Thermal Grizzly โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ
RAM upgrade: added 8GB to reach 12GB max supported ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’ช
HDD replaced with SSD ๐Ÿ’พโšก
System upgraded from Windows 10 โ†’ Windows 11, including all driver updates ๐Ÿ’ปโœ…

Special notes: During inspection, I discovered that one of the RAM sticks was faulty ๐Ÿ˜ฑ โ€” luckily the laptop also has soldered RAM on the motherboard, so the user didnโ€™t notice the problem. Without this fix, Windows 11 would have run unstable or refused to boot properly. Now everything is fully functional โœ…

Outcome: Smooth, fast, healthy laptop, ready for more years of service ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’จ
Customer: Extremely happy ๐Ÿ˜„๐ŸŽ‰

That wasnโ€™t long to wait since I built this PC in November last year, and the first upgrade is already done! ๐Ÿ˜„โœจ Another 16GB of RAM has been added to the empty slots, so now the PC rocks a total of 32GB DDR5 โ€” more than enough for smooth gaming on new titles ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’ป

Happy customer again, and Iโ€™m sure theyโ€™ll be back for more upgrades soon ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ”ง๐Ÿ’ฅ

Lenovo T480 & MacBook Pro A2289 โ€“ Double Device Checkup ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ

I love it when one customer brings multiple devices ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ผ โ€” double the work, double the fun ๐Ÿ˜…

Both the Lenovo T480 and MacBook Pro A2289 were getting hot ๐Ÿ”ฅโš ๏ธ during use, so it was time for a proper checkup ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿ’ป

Operations performed:
