    PCSPECIALIST New PSVR 2 appears to leave PC VR in the dust

    I've managed to find a few listings, £50. This could be a HUGE move for Sony. https://unboundxr.co.uk/playstation-vr2-pc-adapter

    PCSPECIALIST New PSVR 2 appears to leave PC VR in the dust

    Pretty sure it's sold out just about everywhere but I may just have found my next VR headset: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DC7TJCDH?ref=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_H1Z4GS6SCKSK5WMVB2H0&ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_H1Z4GS6SCKSK5WMVB2H0&social_share=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_H1Z4GS6SCKSK5WMVB2H0&starsLeft=1

    PCSPECIALIST My laptop keeps freezing

    RAM would be next. If there are 2 modules, try running with 1 at a time. If you have an alternative you could try it would be handy. If it's still dying all that's left is the HDD/M2/SSD or etc. Either reduce to a single drive (if there are multiple) or replace the primary for a Windows install...

    PCSPECIALIST Windows not activating

    It should have been entered during the setup process. It was perhaps missed. I don't think PCS systems will bake into the BIOS, I think that's OEM only, but if registered it should have certainly given your system a unique ID on their servers so that it will automatically activate in future...

    PCSPECIALIST My laptop keeps freezing

    If you have success with the above I would look to replace the paste with a Kryosheet. You can see the positive experience I had, along with @SpyderTracks above. There are other members such as @Martinr36 as well. We have all spoken quite highly. It's expensive to get just now for this trial...

    PCSPECIALIST My laptop keeps freezing

    I would try re-pasting the CPU. Once done, leave the cover off and boot the system, being careful not to impact the fans or heatsinks etc. Just to make sure they are all working and operational. While doing the re-paste be sure to give the heatsinks a good clean of dust. I would also take out...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9000 officially announced for July 31st Release

    Any reason why they're not available yet? Have I missed something with the release? Edit: Just checked Scan and they're saying 13th August.

    PCSPECIALIST iCue error messages on boot

    I found this where someone else had crashing: https://forum.corsair.com/forums/topic/182827-icue-crashing/ It states all the DLLs in there. Unsure how related that is, possibly down to iCue version. When I was googling around apparently there have been conflicts in the past with the latest...

    PCSPECIALIST Brand New PC Specialist PC Crashing

    If you are confident the GPU was physically removed and re-seated, and not just pushed/prodded/wiggled around for a solidity check then I would think the last thing that could be done is a removal and re-installation of the drivers. To remove the drivers use DDU to uninstall them fully. Install...

    PCSPECIALIST New machine

    You're definitely not managing something right in that case. A typical software install is around 1-10GB. You would need to have a closer to 100 programs installed (large applications) to be hitting those numbers. I think you may be misunderstanding an installation and storing the work product...

    PCSPECIALIST Brand New PC Specialist PC Crashing

    I can't see properly from the image but it looks like a screw-less design backplate? The GPU is fixed at the rear, external to the case, internally via the bracket you ordered and also internally via the PCIe socket itself. The back plate needs released to allow the card freedom from the case...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9000 officially announced for July 31st Release

    This is the thing for me. I think they have an easy win if they can simply have the X3D not limited in frequency. Just having the same range and options as the 9700X would raise a few eyebrows I think. We know what the chip does when limited and how well it reacts to PBO etc already. A higher...

    PCSPECIALIST PC upgrade advice

    For a speed bump without having to factor in a GPU, the only option is the 5800X3D (or the 5700X3D to save a few bob). This won't make for ground breaking increases, but you should get a reasonable gain. A free upgrade would be a fresh install of Windows as a guess. Ensure that you're only...

    PCSPECIALIST Ryzen 9000 officially announced for July 31st Release

    Good video that and made some cracking points. The earlier video showing the improvements from a proper deep dive into PBO, Curve tuning and memory tuning shows the potential of the chip. No way that level of understanding or overclocking should be put onto the consumer though. As stated, a 105...

    PCSPECIALIST New machine

    Crucial for sure, 1tb offering of it is as good as you can get for the OS & Programs. 250GB should be more than enough actual storage for Windows & Programs, with the other drives being used for storage/games/etc. 1TB isn't really required, you only need 500GB to get the headroom, but the proper...
