    Is that power lead connected properly at the bottom? Looks like it needs pushing in further. Have you tried re-seating both RAM modules too?

    PCSPECIALIST RAM Upgrade

    You need 2 x 16GB modules as RAM uses dual channel memory and should always be used in pairs. What options do you have on the upgrades page on your PCS account?

    PCSPECIALIST No audio after reinstalling Windows

    I thought that too. After the install I ran Windows Update until no updates were found and also installed all optional updates too. I repeated running Windows Update a few times, but nothing was ever found. I also restarted my PC more than once yesterday evening, more in the hope that it would...

    PCSPECIALIST No audio after reinstalling Windows

    Turned my PC on this morning and I have audio so this can be regarded as a giant waste of time and won't be helpful to anyone in the future!

    PCSPECIALIST Steam Replay

    "Touch grass bro" as the kids would say. I'm not a kid though so I'm seriously impressed - 473 games is ridiculous.

    CPU and RAM. You're on DDR4, we're already on DDR5 and that was released 4 and a half years ago. DDR4 was released in 2014. I get it, you were probably working to a budget, and had to fit in what you could. I don't mean to poo poo on your chips here, I'm just letting you know - the advice...

    There is little alternative than replacing the GPU. Just feels like a terrible waste of money. It's a shame you didn't get advice before buying. If you wanted to run games on high settings, as you mention above, that setup is woefully under-powered and was an unrealistic expectation from the start.

    Indiana Jones is a massive resource hog. The recommended spec is 12GB, which is the bare minimum I would be looking at these days, and indeed the minimum for low settings. Games are becoming more and more resource hungry and 8GB just won't cut it, even at 1080p.
