    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Network adaptor

    I have always believed in helping people first and then pointing out where they could find the answers themselves. I never found taking a 'superior' attitude productive when doing this. Yes I have a little experience with PC's but I have never had any formal training and clearly have a large...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Network adaptor

    Oh dear - no drivers relating to my order PCS say they should have already been installed. Well maybe they were but I had to do a clean install because a cd they provided for the motherboard corrupted windows. If I have to contact them I could be waiting some time, is there really no other way?

    Spydertracks you have been very helpful and I am sorry if I appear at all frustrating I certainly do not mean to. You clearly have far more experience of these newer operating systems and machines than I do (I still have the 3.5 disks for Dos). I appreciate that to be able to select the media...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Problem

    I think I may have understated my abilities. I have had many pc's since the late 80's and clean installed many many versions of windows over the years. Installing drivers has never been an issue but in all my time I have never had a new pc that power cycled for an hour before booting. Every...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Problem

    This will be the first PC that I have bought that has behaved this way from the start but I am no expert. I only know that after installing the hardware successfully yesterday and checking it all worked the PC power cycled again this morning. If a clean install would do the trick can you help...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Problem

    There was never any mention of it being a test windows 10; it let me do all the windows updates and confirmed activation. Even if this was a test windows how would that explain the power cycling or resolve the bios problem?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Problem

    When the pc booted properly the first time it booted into a windows 10 setup. I had not asked for an operating system as I have a retail copy of windows 10 and did not need it. However I followed the widows set up procedure but entered the product key of my windows retail version to activate it...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST PC Problem

    I had PCS pc delivered yesterday but have had problems. When the pc has been left any time it power cycles for a long time when turned on before eventually booting into windows (it can take over an hour and many attempts). When I eventually got windows working all was going well until I tried to...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    All other components were standard and no other element was pre-order. Since posting last message the pc has gone into build. Pleased matter has at last progressed but it has come at a cost. Still cannot see why I did not get a 3080 earlier.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I ordered on the 5th of October and only the 3080 GPU was pre-order. Yesterday (20th Jan) I got an e-mail from PCS suggesting I may have to wait until "March or beyond" for my pc as PCS had only received 205 units since December and had 1560 orders awaiting 3080 cards. Upon receipt of that...
