Hey, I been having a few problems lately with my computer. Everytime I play a song on Spotify the sound starts to sort of glitch out every few seconds, and the mouse acts funny. It's like the computer freezes and then starts again, this happens again and again and again. Even when I'm doing...

Hey there, so I thought all was going well, but now having major problems. I could just casually be on the internet or playing a game when the screen freezes. The screen sort of turns into a chequerboard and the alternate squares turn to a pinky redy purple colour and jump up and down. Im not...

Ok, so I recently brought a new PC from PC Specialist and on the whole its been great. I have had a few problems though. The first thing I noticed was that there are 29 drivers out of date. Most of which being PCI to PCI, and stuff like that which I am clueless about, and I don't know where to...
