My old LG has recently died, or was on the verge. Went with a http://www.ebuyer.com/638933-hanns-g-hl226hpb-21-5-hdmi-monitor-with-speakers-hl226hpb but it came with what I can only assume is some extreme backlight bleeding. Half the screen is drastically lighter than the other. So I'm sending...

Hello! Firstly just to say I turn my computer off at night via hibernation. Yesterday when I started it up the screen would remain black but every two seconds it would flash and the live contents could be seen. For example the bio, the windows loading screen, the logon screen etc. I could still...

I have been experiencing stuttering both audio and video. This occurs after the computer has been running for two days (hibernating at night). For the first day it works perfectly, youtube, MPC, etc work flawlessly. Then towards the end of the second day, stuttering, with no apparent cause in...

Thinking about upgrading my rig, currently I am without an SSD. I understand these are a godsend to some. What exactly do they do and what are the best options? I'd be obviously going through PCS.

Currently my screen is constantly flickering/flashing,, it is not flickering to black but going lighter and darker rapidly, on a white screen its barely noticeable, only when you add colour do you see it, its very distracting. it started by doing what can be seen (http://puu.sh/7PeIc.jpg) there...

Hello, I ordered a network adapter (WIRELESS 802.11N 300Mbps PCI CARD) january of this year, could you tell me what model number it is that you were using around that time? I'm disabled so I cant get to the back to look and I'd like to know asap. Thanks

So ordered a new computer the other month, it came with a broken PCI slot. Sent it back got it fixed then I got constant screen flickerings, static, horizontal lines on startup with other weird shapes and poor GPU performance, was told it was a faulty graphics card by those who built it due to...

Bought a computer from PCS a month ago which has had numerous issues and is being collected tomorrow for fixing (free of charge as this is their third attempt). Do you think its possible to get a teeny upgrade (network adapter) while they've got it there fixing the current issues? Or is that...

Just received my desktop back from an RMA where a PCI slot needed replacing. Now I'm getting intermittent screen fliickering, it seems to happen mostly on firefox or switching to other windows. I'm not getting any error messages or anything but this is very disconcerting. When starting up before...

Nowhere on my new rig is the installed Radeon 7870 showing up, the built in Intel(R) however is hence me being able to use it to a degree. Its not in device manager, doesn't appear in dxiag and even selecting PCIE over auto in the BIOS results in no change, upon saving and exiting it just...
