My budget is between £80-£100. I play games like The Witcher franchise, Elder Scrolls, some Battlefield 3 and 4, etc. If I was to buy a separate keyboard and mouse, which brand(s) and model(s) should I take into consideration?

Hi, I am thinking of upgrading my keyboard and mouse. Currently I have a normal keyboard and mouse and this will be my first gaming type keyboard and mouse. I have been looking at a few available from PCS for some suggestions. So I far I have looked the following three bundles. ASUS TUF K1...

Hi, When I experienced the AMI bios 1 long + 3 short beeps, I have decided to run Memtest86. I downloaded it from the official website Memtest86.com and created a bootable USB stick. I ran Memtest86 without changing any config options, I just clicked on Start Test. I have not touched the RAM...

I have also noticed sometimes that after I have used my PC for a while, it takes a few minutes to actually shutdown. During the Windows 10 shutdown process the monitor displays the "no signal detected" message on-screen and then shutdown about a minute later. Additionally, the monitor going...

I have tried this already by moving the mouse and even pressing different keys on my keyboard when I turn the monitor back on and it does not do anything.

Unfortunately, I don't have another monitor with the same connection type, e.g. DP as my graphics card. Currently I only have this one DP cable, which came with the monitor as part of my PC order from PCS as I have included in my opening post above.

Hi I have noticed that when I turn the monitor off using the monitor's power button and then turn it back on again, there is a "no signal detected" message displayed. This has happened when I was running Macrium Reflect free Rescue Media to restore a backup image of my M.2 SSD. I turned the...

Thank you for the clarification @ubuysa 👍😎😊

Hi, The Gigabyte model of GPU that PCS sent me as a replacement is GV-N207SWF3OC-8GD. I was told at the time both during my phone call with PCS and in a confirmation email that I asked to be sent after I had finished speaking to PCS on the telephone: that my replacement GPU may not be the same...

Hi, Sorry for not giving an update sooner. On Monday I sent an email to PCS: explaining the problem, pointed them to this forum thread, and asked them if a replacement graphics card could be sent to me and If I could send my one back in advance before I rang them. When I rang them later the...

Hi, Earlier today I rang PCS and was on hold for about 10 minutes and still number 20 in the queue. I will ring them again tomorrow. I know that they are closed on Sunday. I checked the cables: mains power from monitor to wall socket, the DP cable at both ends; between the monitor and...

Hi, I used the Windows 10 media creation tool to download and make a bootable USB stick of Windows 10. I made a full backup using Macrium Reflect free first before I ran the Window 10 setup and deleted the existing partition(s) on my M.2 Corsair MP600 SSD. When I ran the setup from the USB...

Hi, I have the following partitions listed on the Windows 10 installation setup screen on my m.2 SSD drive. Windows System Reserved Should I delete all of these so my m.2 SSD is blank when I do a clean install of Windows 10? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated, please. Thank you.

Hi, Once Windows 10 has been done as a clean install - should I download any motherboard drivers for audio, etc? Thank you.

Hi, Before the look at the graphics card. I have also had a problem when I update the graphics card drivers. I normally install the latest one without uninstalling the old one first. Once the new drivers have been installed the Windows 10 Start menu doesn't respond. To get this back to...

Yes, I did.

Hi, A quick update. I have checked the on-board Q LEDs when I last booted the PC. All of the Q LEDs light up and go out one after the other. The one that stays on is the white one. Should I check anything else other than the graphics card itself? Any advice or suggestions would be...

Hi, Sorry for not giving an earlier update, but I haven't managed to look at my PC yet. The ESD wrist strap only arrived today. I ordered it 7 days ago from Amazon. I have an AMI BIOS and I also have occasionally heard 1 long + 3 short beeps before the PCS logo is displayed and then PC...

Hi, I have been looking on Amazon at differnt ESD wrist straps and I am thinking of buying these, which are a 2 pack. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aituo-Economic-Anti-Static-Disposable-Grounder/dp/B01CZQDDPA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Would these be okay or are there better ones to buy...

Hi, The room my PC is in is carpeted and the computer is placed on the carpeted floor. What would be okay in this instance? Thank you.
