Hi All, So my motherboard is now pretty much dead. Apparently it transmits too much energy to the CPU and/or GPU making them overheat and shut down in about 30 seconds of starting the pc. This laptop is out of warranty from PCSpecialist now. My question is.. what can I do now? The CPU and GPU...

Hey guys. Since last night my defiance laptop will not boot anymore. It boots for a few seconds after which the fans go full speed and the motherboard makes laud noise. After a few more seconds the system shuts itself off. Have I fried my chips? Or the thermal paste needs replacing? I just...

Heyas! Whenever I unplug my laptop (Defiance) to take it to bed (no what you think) I get a BSOD with driver_power_state_failure error. I really think the unplugging is what causes is because it's the only time it occurs, it's not instant - the BSOD comes up 1-2 minutes after unplugging. I...

Hi All, Tried using the search function for this but was not able to find info on this. Basically you all know by now that you can get windows 10 free if you have windows 8. For some reason I'm not able to make the taskbar button appear. This is required for registering and upgrading (it's...

Defiance 15'6 i7 quad core 2,5Ghz gtx 970m 8 gb RAM I've had the machine for a month. My pc started restarting on it's own ever since I've installed the witcher 3 and upgraded the nvidia driver. Basically any game I try to play now gives me a blue screen and restarts my pc. I tried reverting to...

After a lot of thinking and researching I have finally bought myself a decent gaming laptop. To start with, I had no idea what a GPU was and what was the difference between a CPU, etc. My idea of power in a computer simply resided in the amount of RAM it had - for some reason. After trying to...

Just got a Defiance today. First off I hate win 8.1 Don't know if I am doing something wrong or not but if when browsing through my files if I right click on any folder for options the window shuts itself down. I can't right click anything without the window closing down! I've had this laptop...

Hi all, I was wondering - do you get an windows installed on your laptop even if you don't but a DVD+ License? If yes, how long does this installation last before it expires? The reason why I am asking this is because I find this expensive and would rather buy windows 10 directly. I know...

I think it was confirmed by a buyer that the refresh rate of the 4k screen on defiance is actually set to 48Hz. On the website it shows 60Hz. ..which is it?

This? Not sure what it actually means tbh. :>

What's up with this screen? It costs £79 more than the normal one and has the same 1080p resolution. What is so special about it?

Recently PCS has added the Defiance laptop which looks absolutely great and it boasts 3k and 4k displays! My question is: is 4k or 3k resolution on a laptop noticeable to the human eye in the case of a 15'6 display? I have never seen such resolutions with my own eyes so I'm hoping some of you...

Guys, this is a really important step for me. I am upgrading from my Toshiba Satellite (over 4 years old now) i3, 6gb Ram, 512 mb video card. I want a powerful yet portable laptop that looks quirky too! My budget is around £1250. Here's what I am thinking of getting: Vortex IV 15'6 CPU: i7...

Hey guys, I am wondering: Does the 15'6 Vortex allow for two hard drives? As in 1x HDD and 1x SSD or mSATA? Or only one? Thanks.

Guys, windows is better for a gaming laptop? Win 7 or 8.1? I have been using Win 7 for a long time now and I am very pleased with it. Will I hate 8.1 if I get it? Does it pose more trouble with older games? Where do babies really come from? Thanks =) *also, do I basically need to purchase a...
