AI-Powered Intermittent PC Issue Diagnostic SaaS for Non-Technical Users

The Reddit post highlights a common and frustrating PC problem: intermittent monitor blackouts where the computer is still running. Users often resort to manual checks (like temperature as shown in comments) or forum queries because diagnosing such issues is complex, involving multiple potential culprits (GPU, PSU, drivers, cables, software conflicts, motherboard). This creates a niche for a SaaS solution that simplifies and automates this diagnostic process for non-technical users.

Product Form: A desktop application with a cloud-based AI backend. The application would run comprehensive, non-intrusive diagnostics, gather system logs, real-time sensor data (CPU/GPU temps, voltages, fan speeds), driver versions, and event viewer data. The AI backend would then analyze this aggregated data, correlate patterns (e.g., specific event log entries correlating with blackouts, unusual power draw, driver crashes), and provide a plain-language explanation of the most probable cause(s) and actionable, step-by-step solutions or recommendations (e.g., 'Update GPU drivers,' 'Check PSU connections,' 'Run a memory test,' 'Consider replacing GPU').

Niche Focus: While general PC diagnostic tools exist, this SaaS would specifically target intermittent, hard-to-diagnose hardware-related issues that leave users baffled, rather than simple 'PC optimization' or 'driver update' tools. Its core value proposition is intelligent interpretation and actionable insights, not just raw data.

Expected Revenue:

• Freemium Model: Offer basic system checks and a limited report for free. Premium features (in-depth AI analysis, historical tracking, personalized step-by-step troubleshooting guides, priority support, component recommendation engine with affiliate links) would be subscription-based.
• Subscription Tiers: A 'Pro' tier for $7-$15/month or $70-$120/year. Given the vast number of PC users globally who experience such issues and are willing to pay to avoid costly IT support or hours of frustrating self-diagnostics, even a small market penetration could yield substantial revenue. For example, if 0.05% of casual PC users convert to a $10/month plan, with an addressable market of hundreds of millions, annual recurring revenue (ARR) could quickly reach millions of dollars. Partnerships with hardware manufacturers or repair shops could also be a revenue stream.
