    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Voltage Warnings

    Thanks, I'll try resetting the CMOS and see where we go. I'll also uninstall AI Suite!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Voltage Warnings

    Hi folks, I installed a new PSU over the weekend - Corsair RM850i. The TX650 had developed really bad coil whine (it's 8 years old so not surprising). I've installed the 850 with a view to moving it to my new build in the future. Anyway, since I installed it, AI Suite II has been reporting...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Signal loss

    First step should be to swap out the cable and monitor, one at a time, to see if either of those are the fault.

    Have you switched on the PSU at the back?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Under desk PC mount?

    Hi folks, Does anyone do this already? I would like to make room on my desk. I've been looking on Amazon and there are a variety of types. The cheapest seems to be a strap-type mount - but it seems that there isn't much room for adjustment if the width of the case changes in future - which it...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New PC Spec to handle high res video editing

    If it helps, my current rig, also in my signature, was purchased in 2012. I have edited 4k files on it (admittedly I had to proxy them), but it is still a very capable system. It is starting to show its age, the PSU has developed a horrendous coil whine and it can now only play modern intensive...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Turning Itself Off :(

    Ah yes, I forgot about the heatsink clamp. Sounds like that's the problem. Good luck!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Help upgrading my pc

    You could upgrade either CPU or GPU, I would probably go for the CPU first, something like the i7 7700. 16GB of RAM is plenty. You could also try just generally refreshing your PC, refreshing Windows etc... quite often that can speed a few things up and it won't cost you a penny.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Turning Itself Off :(

    Can you elaborate? What CPU cooler are you using? There is a lever that clamps the CPU down to the motherboard, beneath the heat sink. It's unlikely you would be able to lift this without removing the cooler though. Although I've heard weirder things!

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Turning Itself Off :(

    It could be a coincidence, but doesn't sound like it. I would re-seat things one at a time to see if that resolves it. Also re-check all your connections. A test with a known working PSU would be a good shout, but definitely just check all the seating, cables and connections again.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Stuck between cases for build any help?

    Both great brands. Personally I prefer the Coolermaster.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New PC Spec to handle high res video editing

    Just chiming in on Spyder's excellent comments. I'm starting to research my own editing build too. A couple of things you may wish to consider that I am also thinking of: - I would definitely go for an AMD build (you are already and I can't believe I'm saying that as I wouldn't have looked...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Randomly Shuts down then won't turn back on

    Hi all, hope you are well! My PC has randomly started shutting down with no warning, no blue screen, just complete loss of power. Then when I press the power button it won't turn back on. If I turn off the PSU at the rear switch and then back on again, it powers back on. Sometimes just for a...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Anyone posted a PC before?!

    Hi all, I'm upping sticks and moving to Australia in September. I'd like to take my PC with me if I could as I use it for video editing although not sure how to go about it - has anyone had experience with this? Would it be better to dismantle it and package the components individually? or...
