Hi all, So before my Recoil II, I had a Defiance II which had a similar large powerful charger. I noticed that when flying (which I do quite a bit of, long-haul), the plane's power sockets wouldn't charge my laptop or even register it as plugged in (I assume they don't give enough power). On...

Hi all, Not sure if that's the correct forum. If it isn't, could a mod kindly move it to the correct one? So, I've been looking at how well my Recoil II's chips work together using this website called Thebottlenecker.com. It showed me that my GPU was too weak for my CPU (8750H + GTX 1060), and...

Hi, so here are the SPD details for each piece of RAM. RAM C1 is the original 4GB 2133MHz Corsair that came with the Recoil. H1 and H2 are the two 8GB 2400MHz Kingston HyperX that I imported from my old Defiance. Right now, I'm running on H1 with no issues (yet). H2 blue-screened almost...

Hi all, My old laptop (15.6 Defiance II) has recently said its goodbyes with some nasty fireworks, and so I'm looking to purchase a 15.6 Recoil II to replace it. I chose the Recoil II mainly because it is compact, good value for money and has a mechanical keyboard (I hated the DII's keyboard...

Hi, so I'm considering a new laptop to succeed my potentially-dead 15.6 Defiance II laptop. I have narrowed down my options to either the Vyper, Recoil II (as they both have mechanical keyboards - I've had awful issues with ghosting with my Defiance II), or the Proteus VI. One thing I've...

Hi, so I've been having various issues with my Intel HD GPU for a while now. Constant crashes, blue screens, flashing display upon wakeup, etc, and I've just about had it. I tried updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling, but to no avail, so I just want to disable it completely. The...

Hi, So I've recently been having these issues with my Defiance II machine. It's basically a graphics issue of some sort. I get a lot of blue screens with the "VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR", almost once every two days or even more frequently, and 1 out of 5 times I get a flashing white screen...

Not sure where to post this, but here's my issue. A short while ago my computer started displaying what appears to be a RAM leak issue. Basically, whenever I launch a resource-intensive game (examples include Mass Effect 3, Batman: Arkham Asylum/City), my laptop would handle this okay at first...

I thought this was supposed to be a gaming laptop? Am I missing something here? I've got a Defiance II 15.6" laptop. Thanks for the help. EDIT: I've been doing some tests and it seems that this isn't just those three keys, but actually the wiring of the keyboard as a whole is pretty cheap. My...

Hi everyone, I recently bought a 15.6" Defiance II laptop and noticed that the speakers do not reproduce sound very well. For starters, the volume is really low and it misses quite a significant amount of sound, particularly ambient sounds, while playing games. Is this a software or a hardware...

Just got my new laptop from PC Specialist! Just kidding no I didn't. Instead I had to travel for miles to go pick it up myself. Why? Because some wise guy at PC Specialist thought it was a good idea to disallow ANYONE EVER from accepting your order except for YOU and AT YOUR HOUSE. No, your...

Hi everyone, I'm considering getting a new gaming laptop as my current (2.5 year-old) one is taking its final breaths. My current laptop is by no means a gaming machine, it's a Dell Inspiron 15r model with a 2nd Gen Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 2GB AMD Radeon GPU. It played all games no...

I'm looking to configure one of these for myself. However, my budget is a little limited and so I'm looking to ease off a little on the specs. I know it's fairly easy to upgrade RAM as that's straightforward, but what about upgrading the GPU, say, from the 965M to the 980M somewhere down the...

Is it just me or is the Live Chat feature just never manned? I've been trying to get in contact with PC Specialist for a few questions but no luck so far, neither by Live Chat nor by phone. Any suggestions? Cheers.
