Your Gigabyte tower won't POST? Crashing under load? We've seen it all — motherboard failures, GPU issues, PSU burnouts, bad RAM, BIOS corruption. Drop it off at our Somerville shop and we'll tell you exactly what's wrong and what it'll cost before we touch a thing.
From AORUS gaming rigs to workstation towers, we fix the stuff that actually breaks — not just the easy stuff.
System dead on arrival or won't reach BIOS? We trace the failure to the source — PSU, motherboard, RAM, or GPU — and give you a straight repair quote.
$75 (credited to repair)Gigabyte boards fail at VRM clusters, PCIe slots, and BIOS chips. We diagnose board-level failures and source compatible replacements when needed.
Quote After DiagnosticBlack screens, driver crashes, artifacting, or no display output — we test GPU health, reseat, and diagnose whether the card, slot, or PSU rail is the culprit.
Quote After DiagnosticA bad PSU will take other components with it. We test under load, identify rail failures, and replace with a properly-rated unit for your build.
Quote After DiagnosticBSODs, random reboots, and POST beep codes often trace back to bad or incompatible RAM. We test every slot, confirm compatibility, and install upgrades.

We don't ship your computer to a warehouse. We don't put you on hold with an 800 number. You deal with us directly — and that's what customers notice.
"My AORUS gaming PC wouldn't POST after a power surge. Dave's diagnosed it same day, found a dead PSU and a scorched VRM on the board. They sourced a compatible replacement and had it running in four days. Honest, no drama, no upselling."
"I was told by another shop it was a dead motherboard — $400 to replace. Dave's ran the diagnostic and found it was just a bad RAM stick. $75 diagnostic, $30 RAM module. Saved me hundreds. That's the kind of shop this is."
"Brought in my Gigabyte tower that kept shutting down under load. Turned out to be dried-out thermal paste and a clogged heatsink. Clean, repaste, back to normal temps. These guys actually explain what they found — really refreshing."
One shop, drop-off only — and we're centrally located in Somerville so most of Somerset, Hunterdon, and Mercer counties are an easy drive.
If you've been searching for Gigabyte desktop repair near me from somewhere in central Jersey, there's a good chance Dave's is your closest independent option. We've been at the same Somerville address since 2011 — walk-ins welcome, no appointment needed, and your machine never leaves our hands.
We serve customers from across Somerset, Hunterdon, Mercer, and Middlesex counties. Most repairs are diagnosed within one business day and completed within 3–5 business days depending on parts.
The difference isn't just price — it's accountability.
Over 15 years of repairs, patterns emerge. Here's what actually fails on Gigabyte systems — and what to watch for.
Entry-level Gigabyte boards (B-series non-Pro) have thinner VRM configurations that struggle under high-TDP processors. We often see overheating VRMs on systems where users paired a budget board with a high-wattage CPU. Symptoms include throttling under load, instability, and eventual board failure.
NJ power infrastructure sees its share of brownouts and surge events — especially during summer. A PSU that fails under load can send voltage spikes to the motherboard and GPU. If your Gigabyte system went dark after a storm or power event, the PSU is the first thing we check, but it's rarely the only victim.
AORUS motherboards have excellent BIOS update tools, but a failed update — whether from power loss or an interrupted flash — can brick the board. Gigabyte's DualBIOS feature saves many of these, but not all. We've recovered boards that appeared completely dead using the backup BIOS chip.
Gigabyte BRIX mini PCs are capable machines, but their compact chassis means thermal headroom is tight. After 2–3 years, thermal compound dries out and airflow paths clog. A BRIX that throttles or shuts off unexpectedly is almost always a thermal maintenance problem — not a failing component.
Independent, accountable, and genuinely invested in getting it right the first time.
We never do guesswork repairs. Every desktop gets a thorough diagnostic first. If you proceed, the $75 comes right off your final bill.
We don't subcontract, we don't ship to warehouses, we don't hand your hardware to strangers. One shop, one team, total accountability.
You'll know the cost before we pick up a screwdriver. If the repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you — and you'll only owe the diagnostic fee.
15 years at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville. We're not going anywhere. If something needs a follow-up, we're here.
Your drives, your files, your business data — all handled in-house, never sent to an off-site lab without your explicit sign-off.
No appointment required. Drop off Monday–Friday 10am–5pm or Saturday 9am–2pm. We'll get you a diagnostic turnaround estimate on the spot.
Questions we hear every week — answered straight.
Every job starts with a $75 diagnostic that gets credited toward your repair if you proceed. Labor and parts vary by the issue — we give you a written quote before anything starts. For context: virus removal starts at $149 and data recovery starts at $199. Component replacements (PSU, RAM, storage) are quoted after we identify the problem.
Not necessarily. A no-POST condition has four primary suspects: dead PSU, failed RAM, bad GPU, or motherboard failure. We work through them systematically. It's often the PSU or RAM — cheaper and faster to fix than a board replacement. We'll know after the diagnostic.
Yes — AORUS systems are some of the most common Gigabyte machines we see. High-end gaming builds push hardware hard, which means we regularly handle GPU failures, VRM issues, thermal problems, and BIOS-related instability on AORUS platforms. Bring it in.
No. We're a drop-off shop only, located at 75 N Bridge St in Somerville, NJ. All diagnostics and repairs happen here. Your desktop doesn't leave our hands — and we don't do on-site visits. If you need help getting it here, curbside drop-off is available.
Diagnostic turnaround is typically one business day. Once you approve the repair quote, most jobs complete within 3–5 business days. Parts availability can extend that — we'll give you a realistic timeline when you drop off, and we'll communicate if anything changes.
Usually it's thermal maintenance — dried-out paste, a clogged heatsink, or blocked case airflow. In some cases it's a failing fan or a VRM running hot. The $75 diagnostic covers temperature testing under load. Most thermal jobs are a straightforward clean-and-repaste.
In most cases, yes. If the drive itself is healthy, we can pull your data even if the system won't POST or power on. Data recovery starts at $199. We always assess drive health first and give you a realistic recovery prognosis before proceeding.
That's us. Your machine goes from your car to our bench and back. We never ship to a warehouse or third-party lab. Everything is handled by our team at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville — the same address we've operated from since 2011.
Yes. Failed BIOS flashes are recoverable on most Gigabyte boards, particularly AORUS models with DualBIOS. Even boards that appear completely dead after a bad update can often be brought back. This falls under the standard $75 diagnostic.
We do. BRIX systems most commonly come in for thermal maintenance, storage upgrades, and RAM additions. Some BRIX units have soldered RAM — we'll confirm upgrade feasibility before you commit to anything.
Absolutely. RAM and SSD upgrades are straightforward on most Gigabyte tower builds. We verify compatibility with your specific motherboard before ordering parts, and we clone your existing drive so nothing is lost in the transition. Visit us for a free estimate on upgrades.
We'll tell you. If the cost to repair exceeds what makes sense for the age and value of the machine, we say so upfront. You'll only owe the $75 diagnostic fee. We can also advise on replacement options and — if you want — help you move data to a new system.
