    PCSPECIALIST Virus Found.

    No, they need to learn how to properly use the equipment that they have - especially if they have gone to the trouble and expense of specing up a custom build. They also need to follow a few simple rules... If you don't know what you're doing then leave things alone. Windows works just fine out...

    PCSPECIALIST Virus Found.

    Wintoy is NOT a Microsoft app, it's author is someone called Bogdan Pătrăucean - whoever he is. It's yet another 'magic bullet' that claims to make your PC faster/safer/cleaner and which is just more unnecessary snake oil. It has no place on a properly managed Windows system IMO. PC Manager is...

    PCSPECIALIST Possible RAM issue?

    If that CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD happened after you did the clean install then upload the file C:\Windows\Memory.dmp to the cloud with a link to it here.

    Found on Facebook.... Michael O'Leary, the managing director of Ryanair, arrives in Dublin. He enters a pub and orders a pint of draft Guinness. The bartender nods and says, "That'll be one euro, sir." Surprised, O'Leary replies, "Wow, that's cheap!" and hands over the euro. The bartender...

    PCSPECIALIST Recent Windows 11 Update damages audio - Low volumes

    Why do you think the audio drivers are 'damaged'? Does this low volume problem happen with all apps (and Windows) or only one? Have you checked both the Windows sound settings and the Realtek audio settings? I think it would be wise to step back and look at the bigger picture because I suspect...

    PCSPECIALIST Crash after loading up Stalker 2

    If you're at all concerned about your mains supply then get a UPS. The mains supply here in Crete can be flaky at times and I run my whole rig (PC, monitor, router, backup drives) from a UPS. That way I never have to worry. If you do get a UPS then overspec it. Letting the batteries get hot...

    PCSPECIALIST Possible RAM issue?

    Windows didn't get it wrong. You messed up selecting the drive/partition at install time. It's easily done if you're not used to clean installing in a UEFI environment. You need to format ALL those drives to ensure that the next install is properly clean.

    PCSPECIALIST Possible RAM issue?

    As above, that is a total mess. When you reinstalled Windows you got it horribly wrong and you've completely fouled up your whole disk setup. I'd advise the following.... Backup all your user data to one (or both) of those external drives. Then disconnect these drives from the PC. Boot the...
