Hi all, I bought my desktop PC from PC Specialist back in 2021 https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/new-pc-spec-feedback-welcome.82092/post-626243 It has been working fantastically. It came with Windows 10, which I like, but recently I have been considering changing to Windows 11 given...

[Forum moderators, please feel free to move this to a different forum area if this thread is not in the right place] Thought that I would share something that happened to me recently so that other might learn from it. I bought Microsoft Office 2019 (standalone onetime purchase) when I ordered...

Hello again. I bought my PC from PCS half-way through last year, and figured that it was about time for a clean install of Windows 10. (I am not interested in 'upgrading to Windows 11' at this time!). This was my build...

When I ordered my PC, I had assumed that my AIO cooler (Corsair H150i ELITE CAPELLIX) could be mounted on the top of the case. I hadn't appreciated the sizes properly, nor the position and size of the RAM. Consequently, it wouldn't fit there. The PCS team mounted it in the only position that it...

I have had my computer a few months now and it has been working well, but occasionally I am getting issues with it locking up. It tends to happen when I have been playing a game for a while, but it is not specific to any particular game. It has also happened during a long Zoom call. The image...

I have had my PC Specialist computer for a couple of months now. It's great (spec below). I have been gaming on it with my ASUS monitor: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/gaming/pc-gaming/gaming-monitors/asus-tuf-vg27aq1a-quad-hd-27-ips-lcd-gaming-monitor-black-10220251-pdt.html This has a maximum...

I recently received my new computer from PC Specialist and it’s been great, and seems to be functioning perfectly. My build includes the Zotac 3070 TI. It is running games very well, but I noticed a couple of cosmetic issues with the hardware. The first photo shows the top of the card is bent...

My computer has arrived and seems to be working very well :D. One minor issue is that the centre case fan does not seem to work for RGB. It appears to be spinning but no RGB. It might just be spinning passively from the air being drawn in by the AIO. The likelihood is probably quite high as in...

It's often recommended to do the occasional clean install of Windows (once or twice per year). For this, Microsoft recommends a USB flash drive of at least 8GB. I have never had too much trouble with flash drives, but I wanted to get a good one for keeping my PCS desktop (when I get it) up to...

Does anyone have some advice for selecting storage for a new PC build? Obviously it is down to how you use your computer, number of files etc, but I am thinking primarily about managing Windows installs/updates. I saw the good advice about doing clean installs of Windows on a regular basis...

Hi, I'm an electronic engineer but completely new to the world of spec'ing a PC, so I would welcome any feedback from those with experience. I have done some research so hopefully I'm not wildly off the mark. This PC is intended mostly for gaming, but I also do some photo and video editing...
