ORIGIN PC builds high-end custom desktops from enthusiast-grade parts, often with custom water cooling and the fastest graphics cards available at the time. Because the parts are largely standard, most faults can be diagnosed and repaired here without waiting for the original builder, which is especially useful if your system was imported or bought second-hand.
Common faults we fix
- No POST – fans spin but there is no display or the board shows an error code. We isolate memory, CPU, graphics and power one at a time.
- Custom loop leaks and pump failure – coolant on components, air bubbles, a failed pump or blocked waterblocks.
- Power supply failure – shutting down in games, clicking, or a burning smell.
- Graphics card faults – artefacts, crashes, and damaged or melted power connectors on high-end cards.
- Overheating – clogged radiators, degraded coolant or a dried-out CPU cooler.
- Storage failure – NVMe drives disappearing, slow boots or corrupted Windows installations.
- Instability – crashes from aggressive overclocks, memory profiles or BIOS updates.

Since each ORIGIN system is built to order, the exact parts vary. Tell us what you know about your build, or send the original order spec if you have it, and we will check compatibility before ordering anything.
Custom water cooling
Many ORIGIN desktops were sold with hardline custom loops, and those need maintenance that an all-in-one cooler does not. Over time the coolant breaks down, colours fade, growth can appear in the tubes and blocks gum up. If temperatures creep up or you see residue at the fittings, it is time for a service. We drain, flush and refill loops, replace failed pumps and fittings, and leak-test before powering anything on.
If a leak has already happened, switch the PC off at the wall straight away and do not try it again until it has been checked. Coolant on a powered board or graphics card can cause damage that is far worse than the leak itself.
High-end graphics power connectors
Recent top-tier graphics cards use a compact 16-pin power connector, and if it is not fully seated it can overheat and melt. Look for a discoloured plug, a burnt smell or sudden shutdowns. We inspect the card and cable, replace damaged leads and check whether the card itself needs repair.
FAQs
Will repairing my ORIGIN PC affect its warranty?
If your system is still under the builder’s warranty, check with them first. For out-of-warranty systems, we give you a fixed quote before starting.
Can you upgrade my system at the same time?
Yes. Graphics, storage, memory and cooling upgrades are all possible while the PC is in the workshop.
Do you repair ORIGIN laptops?
Yes. See ORIGIN PC laptop repair, our gaming PC page or the PC repair hub. For lost data, see SSD data recovery.
