So I've only managed to set my new PC up and there's a couple of things that concern me: 1. Temperatures - Is this normal? I would expect a brand new rig would be a lot cooler. That being said, it is the summer and the sun shines in my office for most of the afternoon but still.... 2. GPU...

Hey everyone, I'm looking into getting a new pc as my current rig is about 9 years old now and I'm starting to feel the effects of it being that old. I work as a video games artist so I'd be using a whole range of graphics software like UE4/5 Maya, Max, Substance etc and obviously would like to...

Hey guys, so I'm giving my old tower to my parents as their current pc is ancient but I'm having some problems installing Windows 10 on a new HDD. I boot the machine up and and it gives me the message "Reboot And Select Proper Boot Device" I've changed the boot order in the bios in as many...

Hey guys! So for my mum's Christmas present me and my brother chipped in to buy Windows 10 and a WD 1TB HDD and was planning to recycle my old gaming tower (specs below). After connecting everything up, nothing comes up on the monitor. Everything turns on, fans are spinning, HDD is working...

Hey guys, long story short - I bought some KRK Rokit 5 speakers with a Scarlett 2i2 (transmits audio through USB) and for some reason they hiss every time I move the mouse, scroll a website, watch a gif, anything to do with something moving on the screen. I've made sure both speakers are powered...

Hey guys, this is probably a very silly and obvious question but I'd like to ask just to put my mind at ease. I'm wanting to do a fresh install of Windows and I have 1 ssd (where windows is kept) and 2 hdd's. If I reformat my Windows ssd, nothing will happen to my secondary drives right? Unless...

Hey guys, I've ordered Windows 7 on CD but thinking of upgrading to 10. I could just get Windows 10 but I'm thinking if I don't like it, I can just go back to Windows 7. But... If I activate the keys on Windows 10 when I upgrade.. will that deactivate them to use with Windows 7? Thanks in...

Was literally just about to press "Order" when I thought "Let's have a quick look at the reviews of the chasis." Some one said that there's no disk drive... Is this true? How are you meant to install stuff like Windows and drivers? I know you can by an external drive but it sort of takes away...

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting a laptop for working/gaming when I'm away from my computer for extended amounts of time and need it to be (roughly) the same as my PC. So I was wondering if I could get some feedback on what I've chosen so far. I've only loosely based it on the PC specs so I'm...

Hey guys, I've just plugged in a hdd from my old computer, everything seems to work fine but on startup I get this - EDIT: I should point out that I did format the drive and it does load up windows from my SSD after the message disappears. Is there something that I need to do in Windows...

hi guys... Got another a couple more for you.. After installing my graphics card (EVGA NVidia GTX 970 SC) I'm getting green and red flickering pixels on my secondary monitor. Is this a known issue with this card/drivers? If so, is there a fix? Also, after installing updates (all 71 of them!)...

hey guys, I'm trying to format my old hdd that has windows on it to use as a secondary storage hdd in my new computer. Would it be wise to format first and then plug it in to the new or the other way round? The only reason why I ask is that i think it has a real nasty bit of malware on it and I...

Hey guys, I got my pc through yesterday and I just wanted to run a few things past you as I'm not 100% sure about some stuff. I've attached some images to help with my questions :) (Would have put the embedded the images into the post but they are way oversized and don't know how to change the...

Hey guys, I think it's time I got myself a new PC but I'm thinking of salvaging some of my current hardware to put into my new PC. Also, what do you guys think of the specs? Current Case PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i7 Six Core Processor i7-970 (3.20GHz)...

Hey guys, I need a bit of advice on upgrading my pc. I don't know a great deal about what the good and reliable brands of hardware and if they'll work with my machine so I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction :) I'm looking to double my RAM and possibly upgrade my...

I've got the case 'PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE' and had the system for just under a year, the top front USB ports have been very weak for a while now, they still work but the black plastic bit that sits inside the port has come loose in both of the ports, as a result.. anything that I...

Hey, for some reason everytime I shut my computer down it seems to boot back up after a couple of seconds, I've had this problem before on my old computer (i think) but can't remember how I solved the problem. Mobo: ASUS® P6X58D-E: DDR3, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, 3-Way SLI CPU: Intel® Core™i7 Six...

I had an e-mail from here yesterday saying it was dispatched using 'DHL Next Day Delivery'. So it should come today right? Just checked the tracking info and it says this: On the tracking form it says the following: Re-routed to another courier 06/04/11 LICHFIELD SERVICE...
