When a computer has a hardware problem, sometimes it needs a repair. Other times, an upgrade can make an older computer faster, more reliable, and more useful. At San Marcos Computers, we repair and upgrade computer hardware for desktops, laptops, Macs, custom-built computers, and gaming PCs.
Whether your computer won't turn on, is running slowly, overheating, running out of storage, or needs a replacement component, we can diagnose the problem and help you determine the most practical solution.
Computer hardware problems can range from a failed hard drive to a broken laptop screen or a computer that suddenly won't power on. Our technicians can diagnose hardware problems and recommend the appropriate repair or replacement.
We work with a wide range of computer hardware, including components found in desktop computers, laptops, Macs, custom-built PCs, and gaming computers.
If your computer struggles when running multiple programs, frequently slows down, or has difficulty handling modern applications, adding RAM may help.
We can determine how much memory your computer supports and whether a memory upgrade makes sense for your particular system.
RAM upgrades can be especially useful for computers used for multitasking, business applications, photo and video work, and gaming.
Replacing an older mechanical hard drive with a solid-state drive (SSD) can significantly improve the responsiveness of a compatible computer.
We can help with:
If your existing drive contains important files, we can discuss your data and backup options before replacing the drive.
A cracked, damaged, flickering, dim, or otherwise defective laptop display can make an otherwise functional computer difficult or impossible to use.
We provide laptop screen replacement services for many makes and models. We'll help determine whether the problem is the screen itself or another component in the display system.
If your laptop only charges when the power cord is held at a certain angle, won't charge at all, or repeatedly loses power, the charging system may need attention.
Power-related problems can involve the charging jack, power adapter, battery, internal power circuitry, or another hardware component. Proper diagnosis is important before replacing parts.
A failing desktop power supply can cause a variety of symptoms, including unexpected shutdowns, failure to start, intermittent operation, or other power-related problems.
We can diagnose desktop power problems and determine whether the power supply or another component is responsible.
When replacement is necessary, we can help determine the appropriate power supply for the computer and its hardware.
Excessive heat can cause a computer to slow down, shut down unexpectedly, become unstable, or potentially damage hardware over time.
We can diagnose common cooling and overheating problems, including issues involving fans, airflow, dust buildup, and other cooling-related hardware.
If your computer is unusually hot, its fans are constantly running, or it shuts down during demanding tasks, a hardware diagnostic can help identify the cause.
For compatible desktop and gaming computers, upgrading the graphics card can improve performance in games and other graphics-intensive applications.
Before installing a new graphics card, we can evaluate compatibility with the computer's power supply, motherboard, case, and other hardware.
Gaming PCs often benefit from targeted hardware upgrades rather than replacing the entire computer.
Depending on the system, upgrades may include:
We can evaluate your existing gaming computer and help determine which upgrades are compatible with the system.
Not every computer needs to be replaced when something goes wrong. In many cases, repairing or upgrading an existing computer can be a practical alternative to purchasing a completely new system.
We'll look at the condition, age, specifications, and intended use of your computer and explain your available options.
Depending on the situation, the choices may include:
Our goal is to help you understand the options before you spend money on parts or a replacement computer.
Hardware problems aren't limited to desktop PCs. We work with a variety of computer systems, including:
For system-specific services, see our Desktop Computer Repair, Laptop Repair, and Mac Repair pages.
If you're not sure which component is causing the problem, don't guess. Our Free Computer Diagnostics service can help identify the problem before you decide what to repair or replace.
