    PCSPECIALIST Random frame drops & crashing?

    I'm not too familiar with AMD hardware, so I don't know how common these types of issues are. However, dropping to 1 FPS and crashing would possibly indicate the problem being GPU related. I would personally try doing the following (in no particular order): For RAM: Run MemTest86 and Windows...

    PCSPECIALIST Anti Virus advice/Help

    I generally stick with Windows Defender and MalwareBytes (disabled at startup and only use it every couple of weeks). I've never had an issue with viruses from using those two.

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop CPU Temperatures and Throttling

    Just a few questions (I assume you've already done some of this): Which thermal paste have you used? Some thermal pastes which are excellent in desktops are known to have issues in laptops (Thermal Grizzly Kyronaut has pump out issues at 80c, which laptop CPU's easily exceed) Is your GPU also...

    PCSPECIALIST PC not displaying

    Is this a PCSpecialist machine? If so, could you post your full system specs? A few more questions while I'm here: How old is the PC? What BIOS version are you currently on? Did you update your BIOS before installing the new CPU?

    PCSPECIALIST White flickering while playing games

    Does it only happen during gaming? Also, you could check for a few things: Use a Display Port cable to connect your GPU to your monitor (if your monitor supports it): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Matters-Certified-Braided-DisplayPort-Black/dp/B0856Q7P5F Make sure your monitor is set up...

    PCSPECIALIST 4k buyers remorse / performance issues

    After reading through all of these posts, I'm inclined to agree with ubuysa with the issue likely being a faulty GPU. You've already done what I would consider thorough troubleshooting, and a clean install of Windows 11 + newest driver updates would usually rule out software/OS issues. You...

    PCSPECIALIST Octane Series: 17.3" (2019) Windows 11 Upgrade

    Hi all, I've owned this laptop for approximately 4 years now and I was contemplating updating to Windows 11 for future-proofing with updates etc. Unfortunately, my PCSpecialist account shows that there are no downloads available for Windows 11 or from the Clevo support/drivers website...

    PCSPECIALIST High powered laptop completely unusable

    It's potentially a tedious suggestion, but I'd personally suggest the following: Download and install Windows Media Creation tool (USB) Install a clean version of Windows 10 or 11 (whichever you're using) Let Windows install the updates for you Do NOT install the Control Centre Go through the...

    PCSPECIALIST Valeon Extremely Slow - Potentially Not Leaving Office Mode

    After reading through the thread and coming up with a few ideas: Looking at your benchmarking temperatures, it doesn't look like your laptop is using the NVIDIA GPU. I'd imagine the temperatures would be in the 70-80c range if it was being benchmarked/stress tested. You'd either have to...

    PCSPECIALIST Monitor loses signal ONLY when gaming

    I would personally suggest contacting PCSpecialist and issuing an RMA to explain what you've been experiencing. I had a similar problem with an EVGA RTX 3080 Ti. The PC ran light/older games just fine, but any newer game or stress test and it would either lose signal, artifact, flicker, or...

    PCSPECIALIST New PC feels like the GPU is overheating

    As far as I'm aware, most (if not all) GPU's have a standard thermal threshold of 83c. If you're currently below that without 100% fan usage, I'd say the GPU is performing reasonably well. However, if you're as concerned about temperatures as I am, you could set yourself a fairly aggressive...

    PCSPECIALIST Control Center Install not working + Speakers very weak

    Apologies for the confusion there! I did a few Google searches for this laptop and most results came up with Clevo. I'm unfortunately not used to Tongfang laptop's so hopefully the original poster gets the correct software through the PCSpecialist page (as SpyderTracks mentioned).

    PCSPECIALIST Laptop Issue with performance while playing Elden Ring (+ likely more)

    Would it be possible to have a video of this choppy screen? I'm having a hard time envisioning what it looks like unfortunately. As for the rest of the post, my personal guess would be a choppy/inconsistent display + beeping issue could indicate issues with how the laptop is receiving power. If...

    PCSPECIALIST New laptop display glitching

    It's a shame to hear that. PCSpecialist are usually pretty thorough with RMA's but it seems like you've had terrible luck with this process. It's crucially important to get this correct or else you end up with a hugely dissatisfied customer such as yourself. I imagine they'll try to encourage...

    PCSPECIALIST Regular BSOD Problems with Ionico Laptop

    From what I've read, this BSOD could be anything related to a bad CPU, RAM issues, or a Windows update causing system issues. Looking at your specs, you have a few options. 1) You could attempt to a fresh install of Windows from a USB. This will ensure you get a clean install of Windows, but...

    PCSPECIALIST Pc Crashing.

    Typically, if you're playing a game and the screen goes black but you still hear audio, it's indicative of a GPU which could simply be a driver issue or a hardware issue (I had this happen on Overwatch). However, to rule out other potential issues you could back up your files to an external...
