As per the title. A few months ago, I updated my GPU to an ASUS AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. As I have my computer spec' in my sig', I tried to update it to reflect the upgrade. I've tried several times since. Every time I try, on clicking 'save', I get this message > Oops! We ran into some problems...

When I bought my PCS build, about a year ago, I installed a 2070 Super. The plan always being to upgrade that in the 'near' future. Well I think this is the future point I had in mind. I've got a Gigabyte M34WQ monitor, 144Hz, 3440 x 1440p superwide, which is great and probably won't be...

This is about my old computer, not a PCS build. I apologise if this is too naughty, just tell me I'll delete it. Old computer specs in my sig. I gave my daughter and family my old computer, the complete set-up including monitor. It worked fine for a couple of months, then developed a problem...

I bought the whole franchise of Assassinss Creed games off Steam recently, and found that my Games Drive wasn't big enough 😲 So I bought another drive, double the size, from 1TB to a 2TB NVMe. Hoping to save time, I copied my game drive onto another drive, took out the small one, fitted the...

Well, after quite a wait, due to being mucked around by a couple of companies I tried first, I've at last got myself a new computer desk. This is to replace the old Argos self assembly desk I bought at least 25 years ago. There's nothing wrong with it, but there just isn't enough space in and on...

Many years ago I bought a 'Smart' surge protection multi-socket. The 'Smart' bit is, it has a master socket. When whatever is plugged into the master socket is switched off, it cuts the power to all the peripheral sockets. In my case, the computer is plugged into the master socket. All the...

So here's what I've come up with. A bit over my intended budget, but it's still within my max, including a monitor :D What do you think? Anything glaringly out of place? Case CORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Eight Core CPU (4.5GHz-5.4GHz/40MB...

In replying to a comment in the Incoming thread, I inadvertently started dragging it off topic. So I've opened this one. What has been involved in your computing journey?? I'll start by re-posting my original:- The computer I'm using now, I built it originally and upgraded it. The one before...

I had a basic idea of what I was after with the outgoing gen'. Ryzen 7 (air cooled), RTX 3070, 2x 8G DDR4 (with an eye on another 2 matching sticks in the future), etc. Mr Wilson suggested a great system for me, but along with many others, advised me to wait for this new gen...

I'm looking for a 27", 1440p, 144+fps monitor, at around the £500 mark, or less. This is to be matched with a brand new, close to £1500 computer from PCSpecialist. Total budget, around 2k, so the less spent on the monitor, the more available for the computer. Hoping it'll all be good for about...

Hiya. I just found this forum and realised what a great resource it is, especially for someone like me. I'm an old man, well 63, which doesn't seem that old to me, but may well do to most of you. My first computer was a C=ommodore 64; with tape drive, I've been mucking about with computers ever...
