I bought a 15.6" Defiance II from PCS during summer 2015, and only ordered it with one hard drive, I did note that the fact that the laptop has support for 2 hard drives (Excluding M.2) Now as we are getting towards Christmas I want to purchase an SSD for my laptop without removing the original...

So, where to begin. This problem started a few weeks ago, I found my PC was crashing (no BSOD, just auto-reboots after the crash). This happened mostly in 3D games but also when I was on the desktop. Asuming this was a software problem I formated the PC and re-installed windows, my necesery...

I often find myself getting pulled away from the PC to deal with other matters only to return and find that someone else has logged on when I "win+L" my PC (or even worse they finished using it and shut down the system whilst blindly ignoring the "other users are logged on message"). I ran a...

So, it's finally happened. Windows has decided that for what ever reason, it will stop working at random times. Here's all I know: At random intervals my PC has frozen up. This is getting more frequently, now on a daily basis. And by freezing up I mean completely dead, the mouse will not move...

Intel 4th gen intel & AMD APU processors in laptops? When will PCS start selling 4th generation intel processors in their laptops? And also I found out that you can buy APU powered laptops from amazon. Will it ever be the case that we can buy an APU powered laptop from PCS, Those things are...

Can't help but notice that in the PCS configurators you have the ability to add a RAID card but cannot choose which drives you want to be RAIDed. For example. I want (one day) to buy a PC with a primary SSD (not raided) and have my 2ndary disk where I store all my files to be in RAID 1 (for data...

I was just throwing ideas around when I thaught about the possibility of buying some specific GPUs seeing as you can't choose the brand in PCS's configurator and installing them after I got the PC. Eg if I wanted my GPU to be a "<nsurt brand name here> superclocked" rather than the stock or...

I have been tasked with ordering the PC for my family (who are not the most technically minded when it comes to PCs). I have most of the PC specification planned out but one family member wants to be able to run games on decent settings. I am dithering between relying on the integrated graphics...

I recently re-installed my entire system. After I reinstalled windows, I inserted the ASUS motherboard driver disk (that came with my PC from PCS) and from there installed the "asmedia ASM104x USB 3.0 Host Controller driver" (the very same one that was on my system the last time). The problem is...

I was on the internet the other night and found a video of someone who found a new use for floppy disks. The best way for you to understand is to simply watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk_XaJ7gE4Q (please note - I am not being paid to promote this video or anything. I simply...

I have a GTX 560 2GB (non ti) from palit and I wish to try overclocking it. I just want to know if anyone of the forums is able to tell me what speeds they found to be stable on this or a similar card to give me an idea of what I should do with it. Please note that I am not over-volting I am...

Annoyingly I am to young to have been there in the old days of the PC (I am referring to the time when all PC cases were that plasticity cream colour and speed was measured in MHz). So the reason I am making this post is because I am wanting to see what it was like to run the old operating...

As a total n00b (n00b means new to the area and knows virtually nothing) to overclocking I do not know where to begin with overclocking a graphics card. I have a GTX 560 2GB (non Ti) in my new PCSpecialist gaming PC and wish to try overclocking it safely (however from what I have gathered there...

I have read quite a lot of "firm" views against EA and how they are drowning out competition by engulfing them as sub companies then making them conform to EAs money grabbing tactics. is anyone able to tell me how much of this is true and how much is hyped up rumor? I have to admin I am not a...

After buying a kick ass gaming machine from PCSpecialist about 2 weeks ago I have been able to do many more things than I previously could with my old Laptop (£400, 1.8GH processor, 256MB video RAM). It can handle Source games & Minecraft on full settings with 100+ FPS which is great. But...
