Hi, I've had some big PC problems over the last week. My computer somehow got into a state where it wouldn't boot up, I was talking to the PC Specialist tech support people several times and we worked out what to do... sort of. They recommended reinstalling Windows on the C drive, because the...

So yesterday and today my PC has crashed four separate times. Each time the system just froze and then Windows put up a message saying that a problem has been encountered and it needs to restart. It gives the causes as "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION". I don't know what this is exactly, tried Googling...

So, I'm thinking of getting a new PC like this... Main uses would be gaming, large image processing, general work and internet, etc. Case CORSAIR OBSIDIAN SERIES 500D SE CASE Processor (CPU) Intel Core i7 Eight Core Processor i7-11700K (3.6GHz) 16MB Cache Motherboard ASUS TUF GAMING Z590-PLUS...

Ok, I get that there is a massive shortage of Graphics cards at the moment, but I would like to order a new PC from PCS. Is it possible for them to build me a PC without a graphics card, but then send me the graphics card when it is available? Because I have a functional, but old, GPU in my...

Ok, so I bought a PC Specialist desktop back in December 2012. First of all, here's my specs: Case: COOLERMASTER HAF 922 MID TOWER GAMING CASE Overclocked CPU: Overclocked Intel® Core™i7-3770k Quad Core (3.50GHz @ max 4.60GHz) Motherboard: ASUS® P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT Memory (RAM): 16GB...

So I have two long running problems with the sleep mode on my PC. First of all, sometimes when I put it into sleep, it will spontaneously reactivate itself for no apparent reason (without anything being touched). This is really random and unpredictable, most of the time it doesn't happen, but...

Ok, I have a PC Specialist desktop PC that I bought about 2 years ago. I have had a few minor problems with it this year (see these threads I made: Getting error message after power outage, Getting "Blue screen of Death"), but those mostly just went away by themselves and haven't been much of an...

Hi, I posted a more than a week ago about a problem I had with my PC Specialist computer (see the post here with all the details). Basically I had a power outage and this seems to have caused some sort of on going problem(s) with the PC. I'm now getting a "Blue screen of Death" every so often...

Hi, I bought my PC from PC specialist last year (no problems in all that time), but I've run into an issue today. There was a power cut to our area this afternoon and the computer was on at the time, I plugged it out and waited for the electricity to come back. So then, the after about an hour...

Ok, so I'm considering buying this PC, hopefully for top-end gaming, image editing and video playback, etc. I know it's pretty expensive and some people have already told me elsewhere that it's too much, but I really just want to get the best I can, because it probably won't be replaced again...
