I found a spare hard drive laying around and I wanted to connect it to my computer. I initially used the quick hard drive insert thing on my Inwin case which allows me to just put the hard drive in but the problem with this is that it always boots onto that hard drive by default no matter what I...

My audio has gotten a little weird recently and I was thinking it may be a driver issue but I don't know what the audio card that was provided by PcSpecialist is. On my quote it's says ONBOARD 8 CHANNEL (7.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD) so anyone have an actual name with a brand for this thing...

It's been about a month since I got my PC and I'm happy with it but I can't seem to boot from my CD. I have tried changing the boot priority in the BIOS but it seems to go straight onto Windows. I know the CD works because it boots from my laptops but I can't seem to get it to boot with this PC...

I'm curious to know if this may be a mis reading or not. I got my new PC today! I am running it on idle with fans on silent settings and I checked my hwmonitor to find one of the temp readings over 100C. I'm hoping this is an error or is insgnificant. Here's a screenshot, look at TMPIN2

I've never had any problem with any other electrical appliances and since it's the UK the electricity's pretty reliable so I'm wandering is it really needed or is it just a precaution people take?

I will keep this brief. 1. Does the motherboard Asus M5A78L come with a wireless network card? 2. Is the network card that is offered as standard on all pc's wireless? Also what are your thoughts on the 6 pound wireless card. I only have ~10MBps dl speed so I dont need the 300mbps one.

Hey, First of all I want to say it's a great service you're providing and everyone on the forums is doing a great job helping but I do have a suggestion for the main website. First suggestion is that all items should have a price stated next to the name (if that isn't possible it should say how...

I'm building a budget gaming PC and I'm going for the Alpha Trion case for £39 but I'm considering using the Cooler master case for £35 instead. Which case is better? I know Cooler Master cases have a good reputation so can I get a reply with anyone who has these cases and what they think of...

I'm building a system on PC specialist and I'm going to get a Radeon HD 7870 card and I was wandering if I will get free games with the card because if you buy the card elsewhere separately you can get free games with it. Has anyone here ordered a 7870 and if so did it come with any games/codes...
