    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Lines across screen issue

    I'll leave it to better trouble-shooters to help with the issue but I would remove the build info as it has your Windows key on it and that could be stolen. View here on how to show your build info but make sure that Windows Key isn't on it.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST SOLVED. New build won't turn on - fresh out of box

    The cable to the right doesn't seem to be fully seated from that picture so if you can, re-seating it would be advisable. Also assume the power button at the back of the PC for the PSU is definitely on?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC beeps then fails to start up.

    If it runs fine and is only when the monitor is off it is likely a 'false positive' in my experience, effectively it is just a warning to state no connection detected from the GPU to monitor (because it is off).

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Start up issue

    Is your monitor turned on before you boot the PC? If not turn the monitor on first, boot the PC and see if the beeps are still there. These beeps, if everything performs as normal once it is booted up, may be a false positive just notifying you that the PC can't detect a monitor connection.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cleaning my laptop's fans

    Are you sure it was just 2 screws? Searching through the forum posts I have seen another post that indicates 3 screws under the battery for that series of laptop (although it was the smaller version screen). Might be good idea making sure definitely got all the screws out. Other than that you...

    Not sure this will be helpful as I don't have that laptop or experience of it but make sure you have checked that there are no screws under the battery that you need to remove before you can open the casing. I know some laptops have a couple in these places which are easy to miss.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST my pc beeps 4 times when switching on

    If your PC works fine when booted and boots as normal likely to be a 'false positive'. Turn your monitor on first then boot the PC, if the beeps do not occur then it's fine and all it is stating is that when it first boots it can't detect any monitor.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Wifi connectivity issues

    I would wait until someone more knowledgeable replies but just in case they don't my next thoughts would be: Re-seat Wi-Fi card (especially if the PC has been moved since the last time you used it). I personally would go into 'Device Manager' right click on my wireless card and 'uninstall...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Wifi connectivity issues

    I may have reached my basic troubleshooting limit then! Other than reseating the Wi-fi card and maybe also rebooting the Router(although if all other devices are fine guess it won't make a difference) my 'knowledge' in these areas may have run its course. I'm sure someone else who is much more...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Wifi connectivity issues

    I can't believe it would be PSU related as if so your whole system would be unstable. If you felt confident you could reseat the Wi-Fi card just to rule that out. I have seen issues with Windows Updates botching Wi-Fi drivers. Where did you get your driver from? Is it the same driver as per...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Wifi connectivity issues

    You probably already have but make sure all Windows Updates including optional ones have been installed and it has been restarted (especially if you have come back after a couple of months to it). Other quick thing to do is unscrew and re-screw antennas just to rule that out.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Checking for windows 11 update - Compatible TPM cannot be found

    Ah right sorry, I looked high and low for my BIOS setting for my MOBO and they all had different headings to what matched mine even though it said it was specifically for my MOBO. Eventually I found one that exactly matched my settings and I enabled it fine.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Checking for windows 11 update - Compatible TPM cannot be found

    No different PC so would it be a different setting in the BIOS? All I know is that all the guides I viewed didn't have the same exact wording as my BIOS and the above worked for mine. Obviously if OP BIOS is different or setting not the same then might not be the same process.
