Cory's Computer Repair

Cory's Computer Repair About Me:
Hi, I’m Cory, owner of Cory’s Computer Repair here in Turlock. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and keep things honest, simple, and upfront.

No surprises. 200+ five-star Google reviews back that up. Since the early '90s, I've been the go-to for fixing computer issues among family and friends. In 2013, I had enough of hearing stories about people getting taken advantage of and ripped off. That's when I decided to open Cory's Computer Repair, a no-nonsense place where honesty, transparency, and making a genuine first impression with a firm handshake to customers are my top priorities. I wanted customers to step in, look me in the eyes, and feel confident they'd get quality work at a fair price.

iBUYPOWER Prebuilt ➜ Full Custom Migration & Rebuild 🔧🖥️

This system started as an iBUYPOWER prebuilt, but the core hardware was still extremely capable. Instead of replacing everything, I kept the components that made sense and rebuilt the entire system around them.

The original PC was completely torn down, backed up, migrated, rewired, reconfigured, and rebuilt inside a much more capable full-tower platform with upgraded storage, power delivery, cooling, airflow, RGB, and cable management.

Final System Specs:

• Case: Phanteks NV9 MKII Full-Tower
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
• GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16GB
• Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-VC WIFI
• Memory: 32GB Apacer NOX RGB DDR5-5200
• Storage: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe
• PSU: NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W
• CPU Cooling: NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB AIO
• Case Cooling: 2x NZXT F420 RGB Core + 1x NZXT F240 RGB Core
• Fan/RGB Control: NZXT Control Hub + NZXT CAM
• Motherboard Strimer: Lian Li Strimer Wireless 24-pin
• GPU Strimer: Lian Li Strimer Wireless 12V-2x6
• Strimer Control: Lian Li L-Wireless Controller + L-Connect 3

The original ADATA boot drive was backed up and migrated to the Samsung 990 PRO, preserving the existing Windows installation and data. The motherboard BIOS was updated, cooling and fan behavior were configured, and the completed system was fully stress tested and thermally verified.

Thermal Results:
• Ryzen 9 7900X: 78-81°C in Cinebench
AMD max operating temperature: 95°C
• RTX 5080: 72°C in FurMark at ~360W
NVIDIA max GPU temperature: 88°C
• RTX 5080 VRAM: 64°C

So both the CPU and GPU stayed comfortably below their maximum operating temperatures under heavy stress testing.

This is why a migration is much more than just moving parts between cases. Research, compatibility, teardown, rebuilding, wiring, software configuration, data migration, cooling setup, and final testing all have to come together correctly.

Same core performance hardware. Completely different machine. 🔥

Migration / Hybrid Gaming PC Build Coming Up 🔧🖥️

This iBUYPOWER prebuilt gaming PC already has some seriously capable hardware:

Ryzen 9 7900X CPU
MSI RTX 5080 16GB GPU
MSI PRO B650-VC WIFI Motherboard
32GB DDR5 RAM
ADATA LEGEND 860 2TB NVMe Drive

With hardware like that, it makes no sense to replace everything. I’ll be reusing the CPU, motherboard, RAM, and GPU, migrating them into a Phanteks NV9 MKII while replacing components I do not want to carry over.

The first thing I check in a prebuilt is the storage drive. Over the years, I’ve had many systems come into my shop freezing, failing to boot, or showing “No Boot Device Found.” In my experience, a very large percentage of those failed SSDs have been ADATA 2.5-inch or M.2 drives from prebuilts. Many were completely unreadable, even through USB adapters.

Knowing this customer has his Windows installation and personal data on an ADATA drive, I’m not willing to take that risk. I’ll be backing up and migrating everything to a Samsung 990 PRO 2TB.

Next is the cooling and fan setup. Prebuilts often use cheaper fans connected directly to power, leaving little or no fan-curve control, and this system is no exception.

It’s getting an NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB AIO and NZXT’s RGB Core fan series, including two F360s and one F240. The RGB Core fans will connect to an NZXT controller, while the Kraken has its own controller. Both will connect through an NZXT Internal USB Hub to the motherboard’s internal USB 2.0 header, providing centralized USB connectivity for the cooling system.

The third area is the power supply. Prebuilts advertise wattage but rarely highlight the brand or model. They often use lower-tier units that I would not choose for long-term reliability. The existing High Power PSU is being replaced with an NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1.

The build will also feature Lian Li Strimer RGB cables, full cable management, configuration, testing, and optimization.

Keep the expensive hardware that still makes sense. Replace the weak points for a reason. Build something better around what the customer already owns.

Custom Gaming PC Troubleshooting & Repair 🔧🎮

Remember the custom gaming PC that wouldn’t shut down or restart? It’s fixed and running like it should again!

After extensive troubleshooting, I tracked this one down to two separate hardware problems. The power supply was intermittently failing under real-world use, causing power-on issues and freezing, while the motherboard itself was causing the PC to hang during shutdowns and restarts.

New motherboard installed ✅
New 850W power supply installed ✅
BIOS configured and cooling optimized ✅
Shutdown and restart issues resolved ✅
System tested and ready to go ✅

If your custom gaming PC is crashing, freezing, overheating, not powering on, or just doing something it shouldn’t, I can troubleshoot it, find the cause, and get it repaired.

Customer brought an HP laptop with a cracked screen. I was able to find the proper replace it swap out the good for the bad and get the Customer back up and running within a couple days!

The original Samsung SSD had completely failed and wasn’t communicating with the system at all. While replacing it, I also found the drive connected through an aging front hot-swap system, so I bypassed that hardware and connected the replacement 500GB SSD directly to the motherboard.

While I had it apart, I noticed the two front intake fans were mounted to empty drive cages that weren’t even being used. I removed the unnecessary cages, mounted both fans directly to the front of the case, and discovered the case fans were only running around 500 RPM. After correcting the fan profiles, they’re now running around 1,200 RPM with significantly better airflow.

I also updated the Gigabyte motherboard BIOS from F5 to F10, performed a clean Windows 11 installation, installed the required drivers and updates, activated Windows, and fully tested the system.

One failed SSD brought it in. A whole list of improvements went home with it.

Having computer problems? Before replacing it, let me take a look.
