    Corrupted system files

    We run system file checks, repair corrupted components, and restore system integrity.

    Clean OS installation

    When repair isn't enough, we perform a fresh install while backing up and restoring your data.

    Black screens, missing OS errors, and boot device issues — we diagnose and resolve them all.

    Windows & macOS support

    We work on all versions of Windows and macOS, including older systems that still need to run.

    Driver conflicts

    New updates can break drivers. We identify conflicts and install the right versions.

    Mount Vernon Computers is my go to computer repair shop every time I have a problem or need help with my computer. Daryl is so nice and professional that you're not scared to ask a question. He has helped me get a computer with motherboard problems repaired and another computer with GPU problems fixed. I got a new computer and needed help so I called them and Daryl was kind enough to do a video call and walked me through my problem and eventually solved it! 10/10 Highly recommend!
