Our team of expert technicians is here to provide quick, effective, and affordable solutions to get your computer running silently again.
Computer fans and power supply units (PSUs) are the most common sources of noise in a computer. Over time, these components can accumulate dust or wear out, causing unusual sounds. The noise may indicate a deeper issue that requires immediate attention. Here are some potential causes for a noisy computer:
Computers generate heat during operation and fans help cool the internal components. Over time, dust can build up, causing the fan to work harder and produce noise. A malfunctioning or loose fan can also lead to grinding or buzzing sounds.
If you hear clicking or grinding noises, it’s likely coming from your hard disk drive (HDD). A failing hard drive may make these sounds before completely breaking down, risking data loss.
A buzzing or whining noise from the PSU could signal that it’s malfunctioning. If your computer’s power supply is struggling, it could cause electrical issues and potentially damage other components.
Sometimes, cables within your computer can become loose and vibrate, generating unwanted sounds. These noises may seem minor but can affect your computer’s performance over time.
EXCELLENT Based on 34 reviews Posted on Google Ronny LavieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My laptop stopped booting for no reason. I had really important, irreplaceable documents on it. Mike got them back for me, then also managed to fix my laptop without wiping the drive, which I didn't think was possible.Posted on Google Rob ShortmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had tried to install some new RAM on my machine - which worked, but when I screwed the base back on it had completely died. Mike slogged his way through the heat to fix it in no time - and I am so very grateful!Posted on Google Keith TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Perfect and professional service No time wasting and straight to the point Guided me through the whole processPosted on Google Patrick MarreroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired this company to fix my computer, they did come to collect and work on it. However we had a verbal agreement that they would accept payment when the job was done. I tursted them and paid them early as the issue seemed simple by their explination. In the end they had to contaxt the manufacture to use the warrenty, which i could do myself. I arranged the warrenty meaning Thor Computer LTD did not finish the job, and when I asked for a partial return of my money they said no. If you hire them please have in writing any payment agreement and do not give them money until your work is done.Posted on Google mark caswellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
