    PCSPECIALIST Sound issue

    Is there anything else going awry soundwise? ie) if you watch a youtube video is it working fine or does it also cut out in weird ways? Is your son using the PC above or a different PC?

    PCSPECIALIST Can't boot up laptop

    Doesn't look like there's a boot drive listed there, if you're confident you could try to open the laptop up and see if there appears to be anything awry with the storage drive (m.2/ssd) - if you're not feeling overly confident I'd recommend giving PCS support a call as they can talk you through...

    PCSPECIALIST Accidentally overclocked my GPU, desperate to reset - help!

    The image in this post seems to indicate the fans are now spinning.... Slow down a second and take stock of what is happening. I'd suggest starting from the beginning with a detailed account of what you think you changed, what happened, what you've done since then and what is currently...

    Try clicking apply see if that helps? If you put it onto manual do the fans spin up as expected?

    PCSPECIALIST Can't boot up laptop

    Check in 'boot manager' to see what options you have and try each of them to see if you can get through into windows. Failing that, unless someone else has a better plan I'd move onto trying to reinstall windows (you'll need another device and a USB stick to do this...

    PCSPECIALIST Can't boot up laptop

    Can you access the bios when the laptop is booting? To see if there's another boot device you can select? Looks to me that it could be the windows install has corrupted. I'd also consider prepping a USB with a fresh windows installation on so you can go down that route easier if its neccessary.

    PCSPECIALIST Got dispatch same day

    Given this message says "due for" and not "guaranteed to be" I think you know the answer :), until its in your hands, nothing is definite. But if you check your order page it'll tell you the current status of your order (it should say 'awaiting dispatch' or 'dispatched' if its going to be...

    PCSPECIALIST Do dual monitors with different refresh rates cause system "problems"?

    I've not had any issues and my monitors have different refresh rates. If you are 'extending your display' (ie PC is treating them like two separate displays) and not trying to game across both of them for example I don't think you'll have any issues.

    PCSPECIALIST Building my first PC - could I get some feedback on my proposed build?

    I don't know the answer to your question in the OP, I think its likely based on the current price PCS are buying them for plus some markup (perhaps not, its likely much more complicated than that)... but I don't know. I'd imagine the cost of one component isn't strictly related to the consumer...

    PCSPECIALIST PC wont start properly??

    Rather than changing power socket, just try and turn off the button on the PSU see if the PC exhibits the same behavior. If it does, it sounds to me like the power button is goosed or there's something amiss with the front I/O connection on the motherboard... although I'm sure it could be lots...

    PCSPECIALIST PC wont start properly??

    Well that cable should be connected to a bundle of cables one of which will go to the power button. Out of interest how are you starting the PC if the power button doesn't work?

    PCSPECIALIST PC wont start properly??

    1 short beep is a 'all good' post tone - would you say the beep was short or is it a 'long' beep (might seem weird, like how would you know, but you'd know if it was long. Definitely more of a beeeeeeeep than a beep). If the power button just isn't working you can check the cable. I believe...

    PCSPECIALIST Prebuilt PC question

    Is there any specific reason you're looking at a Curry's for the pre-built PCS system? You might be able to get a better overall performing system buying direct from PCS? Ultimately, the PC will be built by PCS to their usual high standard though so in that regard I wouldn't have an issue. I...
