    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Occasional freezing of graphical output

    Damn, spoke to soon, just happened again (Outlook, Edge and Paint Shop Pro open). I've not been using the PC since my last post, so it might be when coming out of sleep; thinking back on the others, that may well be the case.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Occasional freezing of graphical output

    Might as well join in. I have the same MB/CPU combo as the OP and it's happened to me about half a dozen times since I got the PC a couple of months ago - once when only Edge and Outlook were open (I don't game). Following advice in another thread, I updated the chipset drivers a few days ago...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST H115i Elite Capellix problem

    Cheers @AleTax , glad to hear it's nothing to worry about. I doubt I'll go as far as a reinstall, I'm sure I can put up with the wee tune every now and then. Thanks again

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST H115i Elite Capellix problem

    Hi all, before I describe what’s wrong, there’s a post with a similar problem here, New PC | Ryzen 5900. To save the hassle of answering twice, I had considered adding this to that post but decided against it as my problem is slightly different (it only happens at switch on/wake). No doubt a mod...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Long bootup time

    My time to the login screen is 14 seconds which I though was excellent (my previous PC could take up to two minutes). I also remember a post where someone had a 5-second start-up but thought nothing of it until I saw this post. I did some experimenting: With five peripherals connected (wireless...

    That's it ordered. Thanks for your help @Scott. All I have to do now is stay away from the Amend button!

    Thanks @Scott, for your offer of help on case selection. Despite the selection of the iCUE 220T in my original build, I’d prefer a plain case; I’m not bothered about RGB and I’m not a fan of the sticky-out/funny-shaped mesh front panel. I like the “box” look of the Corsair and Fractal cases. I...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Sanity check required

    Thanks @Scott. When I revisited my build yesterday, the price had dropped by 53 quid and I had earmarked the saving to up the M2 to 500 GB but with your suggestion of the 5800x, you’ve given me something else to think about, especially pairing it with the Strix B550. To be honest, audio work is...

    Hi folks, I’ve been following the forum for a couple of weeks and hope that I have learned a few things; so, here’s my attempt. Pre-empting the usual questions, my monitor is a Samsung LU28R55 (Resolution 3,840 x 2,160; Refresh rate, 60 Hz). Budget is £1,300 to £1,400. In addition to the...
