Been a while since I was here as after a rocky start my PC has been awesome for over 2 years now. However it does seem that a fault has developed. When gaming, specifically when playing WoW, after about 20 minutes or so the monitor loses signal, sometimes audio carries on, other times not. I...

Hi, not been on these forums for a while, but I have an annoying problem that I'd like to get fixed. I have a PC Specialist desktop I bought last August. Sound wise I have an iTube valve amp and speakers. Basically when I run any game I get buzzing through the speakers. There is no buzzing...

well, the title explains it. I have noticed this happening over the last couple of weeks. It happens consistently when I open Spotify and iTunes. Other programs open fine. After a freeze of 5 seconds or so the program opens normally and the mouse unsticks. My specs: Case AeroCool DS Cube...

I apologise in advance if this is a really noob question, lol. But I've never actually used windows' built in backup tool before. I bought an external drive to back up my new PC and installed it today. I set up Windows to back up once a week and backed it up for the first time. However, I have...

Who's getting one? Yeah, I am a bit of an apple fangirl but I am counting down the days. I tried Android last upgrade and didn't really like it.

Hi all, I am having a problem installing a windows update - kb 2972211. It downloads to 11% and then fails without getting to the installation phase. The updater gives out error code 80073712 "unknown error". All the other updates installed with no problem. I've been on microsoft site and...

Not a huge problem, but something I have noticed with my new PCS desktop. I have my power options set to never switch off the display, but if I am afk for a while when I come back the monitor will be completely off - not in standby (orange light) but completely black. Moving the mouse does not...

Not that I could play it anyway because my computer is broken, but I just wondered, when I ordered my PC there was an offer for a free copy of watch dogs, which I never received, the rest of my order arrived on 13/08...

The good news is is PC arrived today from being "repaired" The bad news is it's in the same state I sent it back in! My PC stopped sending a display to the monitor after having it for 2 days. I sent it back, they said the motherboard was faulty and was replaced. It came back today, plugged...

Hi, My desktop has been in for RMA and today the fault report was put on the system which states that the motherboard was found to be faulty and was replaced. Now since I assume they replaced it with the same model, will PCS reinstall windows on my pc? Doesn't matter really if they do, as I...

Hi, I am trying to re-package my PC to return it to PCS and having trouble getting it back in the box correctly :stuart: So I wonder if anyone can give me any advice on the way it is supposed to go. I received it originally a week ago and from memory it went in right way up with the polystyrene...

When you request an RMA, do they approve it before or after collection? And do you get a time slot for collection or re-delivery? Thanks

:( My new PCS machine arrived on 13/8, just got everything running how I wanted it and now... It won't boot :( I had some problems with a windows update, it came up with a "failure configuring updates... Resetting changes" error and hung there for a while. I rang pcs and the guy said turn it...

Wow, well, that seemed like the longest wait EVER... But I have to say that the end result is worth it, now that my new gaming rig has finally arrived and is now up and running! The spec: Case AeroCool DS Cube White Edition Window Mini-ITX Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor...

I ordered my PC on 16/07. At the time of purchase the estimated lead time was 7-9 working days. My order went into pre-production on 22/7 and has stayed there ever since. I rang up on -I think - Monday this week for an update and was told that my order would be built "within the next 3 days". I...

Just curious as I am in my 3rd working day of processing, but 6th calendar day. I paid by debit card, and the money has already gone out of my account... I'm just excited for my order to progress but this stage is taking it's time :sleep1:

Hi, I'm after a small but powerful gaming pc, capable of running Wildstar at high settings. Hoping this is it... Any thoughts? Case COOLERMASTER 120 ADVANCED CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-4790 (3.6GHz) 8MB Cache Motherboard ASUS® H81I-PLUS: Mini-ITX, LG1150, USB...
