Would appreciate any suggestions regarding this spec. Apart from normal day to day usage, it would be used for moderate gaming. Thanks. Case CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 200R COMPACT GAMING CASE Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 4500 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.1GHz/11MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard GIGABYTE B550...

Extremely pleased with my laptop, it was a pre built well priced and very close to my chosen configuration meaning I received it the day after ordering. It is the Optimus model so I have named it after the Transformers character 'Optimus Prime'. This is my 3rd machine from PCS so that in itself...

Looking to replace my ancient laptop with something up to date. As I have a PCS desktop, it would only receive moderate use with normal everyday tasks plus some moderate if not too serious gaming. Some degree of portability is required so I thought 15.6" a decent compromise not wanting to go too...

The clock on my Win 7 PC remains at whatever time it was showing when shut down or put to sleep - i.e. if it was showing say 12.00 on shutdown it will still show that time when restarted regardless of how long. If I go to Services then Windows Time, that only offers " start service" and if I do...

http://www.mitac.com/Business/Maestro_770.html Interesting Intel assembly guide video.

Have now decided to replace my old 17" Laptop with a Maestro 11 AIO and although the spec. is fairly straightforward, unfortunately it can only accept one hard drive. Although 500GB should suffice, I'm torn between the £46 upgrade 1TB Seagate XT Hybrid or the more expensive but tempting £281...

Can anyone provide the overall dimensions of the Maestro 11 AIO 21.5" version regarding width, height including the stand and depth. Many thanks in advance - hopefully!

SWMBO's in the market for a new entertainment type laptop, apart from normal day to day use and some non too serious gaming (the Frogwares Sherlock Holmes series) is about as taxing as it gets A 17" screen and most important, operating quietness, are the vitals. This one is OK budget-wise at...

If you had a budget of 1.2K to 1.5K and required a PC for serious but not hard core gaming with great graphics, quiet running and a SSD drive mainly only for faster boot ups, I'd be pleased to hear your suggested specs. The only restriction is the case size which needs to be no larger than 550 H...

My 2 year old system will probably be going back to check out a PSU noise and while it's in for that I thought I would gather any sensible upgrade potentials for it. Apart from general use I do a fair bit of gaming appreciating the stunning graphics on such games as Crysis 3 etc. My current spec...

Requiring a second/reserve laptop 14/15" screen mainly for email/web browsing, non too serious photo editing, light gaming (SWMBO loves her adventure type games, Sherlock Holmes etc.) and possibly some movie streaming. Since this is a second laptop the budget would be in the £400 to £600 region...

Having bought a USB 3.0 WD External Hard Drive, this is the first time I have attempted to use my PC's USB 3.0 ports ( 2 rears & 2 fronts). Plugging my device into the front ones, the device does not even power up. On using the the rear ones, the device power indicator lights up OK but the...

Any advice please as to the best 3D capable monitor 23" to 27" mainly for gaming which is compatible with AMD's Radeon 6900. At the moment the LG DM2350D is top of my list or can I do better ? Opinions appreciated and no particular set budget. Thanks.

My Netgear DGN2000 has failed and needs replacing and the router/ modem market is an absolute minefield. So which one to replace it for best performance and reliability? - suggestions please

I have two DVD drives and whichever one is in use occasionally dissapears from 'Devices With Removable Storage' under 'Computer' as well as in 'Device Manager'. Normally there is a game loaded and if I click on the desktop's game shortcut it will start OK although that drive remains not listed...

Went to open the tray on one of my two DVD drives but it would not open ( the other one did.) The one not functioning was also not showing under "computer' So I did a restart and was presented on the first start up screen with the message "press 4 to unlock Asus core" and no further start up...

None of my old adapters are compatible, any suggestions for one which works with Win 7 64bit? Required for file transfer between PC and phone.

All my pdf files have the IE icon instead of the usual Adobe icon. The files all open and work OK plus downloading pdf's from the web is all OK. The only foible is with email pdf attachments which also only show the IE icon instead of the Adobe one. These attachments will not open directly but...

If you are unfortunate enough to suffer from lock ups or feezes and have to reboot, do you use the power button or reset button?
