Desktop and Laptop Repair in Boise
Idaho PC Solutions diagnoses and repairs desktop computers, laptops, gaming systems, and business workstations from many major manufacturers. We service many Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Microsoft, and custom-built Windows computers.
Common computer problems include:
-
Computer will not turn on
-
Laptop powers on but has no picture
-
Windows will not start
-
Computer freezes or restarts
-
Blue-screen errors
-
Broken laptop screen
-
Laptop battery will not charge
-
Damaged charging port
-
Computer runs unusually hot
-
Cooling fan is loud
-
Hard drive or SSD has failed
-
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth does not work
-
USB ports are not detected
-
Computer was dropped or damaged
-
Gaming PC will not boot
-
Programs repeatedly crash
A computer that will not start does not automatically have a failed motherboard. The problem might be caused by the power supply, memory, battery, storage drive, charging port, operating system, or another component.
We test the system before recommending parts or major repairs. Accurate diagnosis saves time and reduces the chance of paying for a component that was not causing the problem.
Slow Computer Repair and Computer Tune-Ups
A slow computer can make even simple tasks frustrating. Long startup times, freezing programs, browser delays, and constant loading screens may be caused by hardware, software, or a combination of both.
Common causes include:
-
An older mechanical hard drive
-
Too many startup applications
-
Insufficient memory
-
Malware or unwanted software
-
Corrupted Windows files
-
Failed or incomplete updates
-
Overheating
-
A nearly full storage drive
-
Background programs consuming resources
-
A storage drive beginning to fail
Idaho PC Solutions can evaluate the computer and determine what is limiting its performance. Depending on the results, we may recommend software cleanup, Windows repair, additional memory, cooling maintenance, or a solid-state drive upgrade.
We will also tell you when an aging computer is no longer worth upgrading.
SSD Upgrades in Boise
Installing a solid-state drive is often one of the most effective ways to improve an older computer. Compared with a traditional mechanical hard drive, an SSD can substantially improve startup time, application loading, file access, and overall responsiveness.
Our SSD upgrade service can include:
-
Checking the computer for compatible upgrades
-
Installing an appropriate SSD
-
Transferring the existing Windows installation when possible
-
Performing a clean Windows installation when necessary
-
Installing Windows updates and drivers
-
Transferring personal files
-
Testing the completed system
Before performing an upgrade, we consider the computer’s age, condition, processor, memory, and overall value. Our goal is to recommend an upgrade only when it provides a meaningful benefit.
Virus and Malware Removal in Boise
Malware can do more than slow down a computer. It can redirect searches, display fake warnings, steal personal information, install unauthorized programs, or give a scammer remote access to the system.
Warning signs include:
-
Unexpected pop-ups
-
Fake virus warnings
-
Browser redirects
-
A homepage that changed without permission
-
Unknown software or browser extensions
-
Antivirus protection being disabled
-
Unusual account activity
-
Remote-access programs you did not install
-
Sudden performance problems
-
Messages demanding payment
-
Someone claiming to be Microsoft requesting access
Idaho PC Solutions can inspect the computer, remove malicious and unwanted software, repair affected Windows settings, install available updates, and recommend steps to improve security.
If an unknown person has remotely accessed your computer, disconnect it from the internet. Do not send money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, or additional personal information.
Change exposed passwords from a separate trusted device and contact your bank or credit-card company if financial information may have been compromised.
Data Recovery in Boise
When a computer fails, the most valuable part is often not the hardware—it is the information stored inside it.
Idaho PC Solutions provides logical data recovery and file-transfer services for many computers and storage devices. Depending on the failure, we may be able to recover documents, photographs, financial records, schoolwork, videos, and business files from:
-
Computers that will not start
-
Failed Windows installations
-
Corrupted user profiles
-
Failing hard drives
-
External storage drives
-
USB flash drives
-
Malware-damaged systems
-
Old computers being replaced
-
Accidentally reformatted storage
No legitimate computer company can guarantee that every file will be recoverable. Recovery depends on the type of failure, the physical condition of the drive, and whether the original information has been overwritten.
If a storage drive clicks, grinds, repeatedly disconnects, or disappears from the computer, stop using it. Continued operation can make the damage worse.
Windows Repair and Windows 11 Support
Windows problems can prevent a functional computer from starting or operating correctly. Idaho PC Solutions troubleshoots Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems for Boise residents and businesses.
Windows services include:
-
Startup and boot repair
-
Blue-screen diagnosis
-
Windows update repair
-
Driver installation
-
Corrupted system-file repair
-

-
Windows 11 upgrades
-
Clean Windows installation
-
User-profile problems
-
Software troubleshooting
-
New-computer setup
-
Data backup before reinstalling Windows
Before reinstalling Windows, we determine whether important files need to be backed up. Reinstallation can erase applications, settings, and personal information if the correct precautions are not taken.
Gaming PC Repair in Boise
Gaming PCs use high-performance components that create more heat and demand more power than typical home computers. Proper troubleshooting may require testing the graphics card, memory, processor, power supply, motherboard, storage, and cooling system.
We diagnose gaming computers that:
-
Turn on but display no picture
-
Have lights and fans but do not boot
-
Shut down or restart while gaming
-
Overheat under load
-
Freeze during games
-
Display graphics artifacts

Experience unusually low frame rates

Stop working after an upgrade
-
Fail memory or graphics tests

Produce motherboard warning lights
-
Crash during demanding applications
Idaho PC Solutions can also help install compatible SSDs, memory, graphics cards, power supplies, cooling components, and other gaming PC upgrades.
Mac and Apple Computer Assistance
Idaho PC Solutions may be able to help with common Mac and Apple computer needs, including data transfer, storage problems, email setup, software troubleshooting, network connections, printer configuration, and general diagnostics.
Repair availability depends on the specific Apple model and problem. Contact us with the model and symptoms so we can determine whether the service can be completed in-house or whether specialized Apple repair is required.
Wi-Fi, Network, and Printer Support
