Xbox One getting loud and running hot?

This original Xbox One had dust packed between the heatsink fins, a clogged fan grille and thermal paste on the processor that had dried out and cracked.

The fix: a full strip-down clean and fresh thermal paste. Then several hours of Gears of War, Forza and EA Sports FC 27, noticeably quieter and no longer getting hot.

Recovery screen, no boot, and Windows setup couldn’t even see the drive.

This MSI laptop came in with a startup issue and needed a bit more than a standard reinstall. After diagnosing the fault and loading the correct storage driver, the drive became visible again and Windows was installed successfully.
Now it’s back up and running.

Is your PS5 louder than your game?

If so, the screen in this picture is just a matter of time. When you see "Temperature Alert", your console is entering an emergency shutdown before something physically breaks. Don't ignore it.

Bring it to me at PC Fixit. I'll do a full teardown, a professional clean, and apply fresh liquid metal. It's a simple, effective way to get your hardware ready for GTA VI.

Give me a call now or send a message before your console gives up for good.

All-in-One computers are a great, minimalist desk solution, but their tight chassis behind the screen allows them to gather dust incredibly fast. 🛠️ This patient landed on my operating table with a clogged cooling system and heavy lagging when juggling multiple browser tabs.

Upgrading from 8GB to 16GB of RAM is a must-have nowadays. Look at the first photos – the copper cooling system was crying for help. After thoroughly cleaning the heatsink and installing the new Lexar memory, I put the hardware through rigorous testing. The result is a flawless "PASS".

Murphy's Law in action! 💥 A brand-new tablet hit the floor literally moments before its protective case arrived in the mail. You can see the result in the pictures – a smashed corner and cracks across the display.

The mission was simple: restore it to factory condition. The screen replacement was a complete success! 😎 The device has regained its shine and is finally united with its cover.

Just blowing out the dust isn't enough to restore a laptop to its full glory!
This case proves exactly that.

From the outside, the device was just "running loud". Inside, it was battling blocked airflow and completely degraded thermal paste. On top of the physical SPA, I optimized the background processes and disabled junk startup apps. The numbers don't lie: after boot, RAM usage dropped from a heavy 9.8 GB to a healthy 4 GB. The 16 GB of memory finally has room to breathe, and the cooling is virtually silent again.

At PCFIXIT, there are no shortcuts. Comprehensive diagnostics, cleaning, and optimization. 🔧

That red bar on the C drive is a nightmare for all of us. Take a look at the second photo – in this case, the cause of the failure and massive lag was just one single system file that grew to 70 GB! 🤯

I found it, eliminated the cause, and the computer came back to life in minutes.

Having a similar issue? Drive always full and you have nothing left to delete? Instead of struggling with a slow maching drop me a message!

Before you throw your slow computer out the window... send me a message! 🛑

This PC just got a second lease on life. Instead of spending hundreds of pounds on a brand-new machine, the client opted for a service. Clearing out the dust and upgrading from a failing 4GB to a solid 16GB of RAM completely solved the freezing and blue screen issues.

A loud fan and a hot case are signs your laptop is crying out for help. I serviced a unit that was cutting out under load. I cleaned the cooling system and doubled the memory to 16GB.

Every module was verified with Memtest, so the client knows it won’t crash mid-task. If your PC is getting loud or slow, get in touch and I’ll get it sorted.
