    PCSPECIALIST What are you driving at the moment?

    My work toy. DAF XF 530, 6 x 2 mid lift, twin steer. My car is a bog standard Audi A4 TDI 144 bhp 14 plate. My bike is a Honda CB900F, 81 plate, 90bhp ish. My other bike is an '81 BMW R 65 with an R 80 motor in it and a Siderider Saluki sidecar. At best, bhp is about 30. I put 160,000 miles on...

    PCSPECIALIST New to PC gaming

    Yeah. Intel were the best and, as they had that reputation, quite a few people hang on to their belief that "Intel are the best". At present, wrong!

    PCSPECIALIST How to spot a millennial

    I was a little confused by that, then translated the appropriate p's to d's :unsure: 😊

    PCSPECIALIST New NVidia control panel!!!!

    None that I'm aware of. Nvidia seems to release a Game Ready driver update every couple of weeks. It isn't unusual for a driver update to cause some problems with Days Gone, usually fairly minor but occasionally quite major. I expect that other games are affected too. The next update usually...

    PCSPECIALIST New NVidia control panel!!!!

    I uninstalled all my Nvidea software when I got an RX 7900XT 😊 Fully Team Red now.

    PCSPECIALIST One-liners

    Me too. But, as a truck driver, that sort of thing is severely frowned on. Cars and vans scattered all over the motorways of UK and Europe wouldn't go down that well. Driving standards might improve though :ROFLMAO:

    PCSPECIALIST Well this is annoying :(

    I've done a Malwerbytes scan, which reported 0 problems. I scanned it several days ago, but as "There was something 'not right' about my computer", I thought it won't do any harm to check again. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean 'they aren't out to get you'. 😀

    PCSPECIALIST PC to return into Gaming

    The small 512Gb is your OS drive. There should be next to nothing else on it. It's small and fast, to load your OS on bootup and have your opening screen up in under a minute. The 2TB drive is for other programmes, particularly games and anything else that need fast loading. I have also...

    PCSPECIALIST Well this is annoying :(

    Ah, OK, thanks people 🙂 I've already got that manual somewhere on my computer FigmentOfYourImagination, but I couldn't access it until I got a working screen. As that was fairly late in the evening, I left it until today. That photo was a great help though, thanks 🙂 I'd forgotten that, about...

    PCSPECIALIST Well this is annoying :(

    Aha! Yes, of course. That'll be tomorrows job. We have to plug in a usb cable to access the OSD if I remember correctly. I know I did to check/update the firmware when I got it. And I think I wanted to check something on the OSD some time ago, but didn't bother because of this. But everything...

    PCSPECIALIST Well this is annoying :(

    This morning, when I woke up my computer, there was something 'not right', nothing I could put my finger on though, just 'not right'. I decided that turning it off and back on again was the right thing to do, so that's what I did. A restart. My computer rebooted fine, going by the post beep and...

    PCSPECIALIST X870/X870E Motherboard Lineup

    USB 4 looks the same as USB 3, I take it you can plug in either way round too? But these USB 3 or 4 only boards wouldn't be much good to me. Most of my peripherals are USB 2, or even 1st gen. All my dongles are definitely USB 2. Mind you, I'll still be using this computer for another 8 to 10...
