Hi all, Wondering if anyone can offer any sort of advice. One of our PCs is struggling with connecting to the Internet. It's connecting to the network but the internet keeps dropping out (Windows shows "No Internet" in the tray). It has been plugged in via Ethernet since we bought it late...

Hi all. I've come across a weird problem recently. I have my desktop connected to my Dell monitor via DisplayPort and my Sony TV via HDMI. I have 3 sets of audio devices. A set of Logitech speakers connected via a 3.5mm port, a wireless headset connected via the Optical port and a Sony Soundbar...

I've recently replaced the stock fan on my i5-2400 with the Corsair H110 and put it all inside a new, much larger case. However since the install I've noticed a drop in PC performance. Chrome is disgustingly slow. Pages take ages to load. And opening the Start Menu on Windows 10 is laggy too...

I have a pair of Turtle Beach PX51 headphones that I use for multiplayer gaming. They're wireless, the sound is transmitted via WiFi from a receiver and the microphone connects via bluetooth to the PC. My mates tell me though that the sound quality from the microphone is horrendous, almost...

Extremely happy with my Ultranote II. One thing I'm worried about is the temps of the hardware. Every so often the fans will go on full blast for a minute or so. Are these safe? I read that they're safe up to 90-100 degrees but I'm not too sure.

Hey all, just ordered this laptop. I'll be using it at University because the desktops there aren't the best. I study Software Engineering so I'll be using it to run programs such as Visual Studio. I won't be using it as much at home as I have my desktop (see sig). Would like to know people's...

The little clip that holds the cable in the back of the PC/Router on the RJ45 broke. I tried to repair this by buying some new ones but I can't seem to get it to work. I've done at at Uni before but I always struggled getting the wires in the correct order. I've tried looking at guides online...

Hey all. I have my PC connected to a 32" TV that I use a monitor. It is connected using a DVI-HDMI cable that plugs into my GTX670 in my PC. I came across a spare HDMI cable so I decided that I'd plug the PC into my 46" TV so I could play games on my main TV. Here lies the problem. If I...

Hey guys. I bought my PC from here around 18 months ago and it has served me very well. I had a very tight budget at the time so I picked a cheap motherboard, the basic case, only 4GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD, a basic 450w PSU and an average GPU. In fact, the only decent thing I put in it was an i5...

Hey guys. Currently looking at getting a laptop for when I go to University in September. I'm studying Software Engineering so I'd like a laptop then I can take with me to University and to my girlfriend's house if need be. It doesn't need to be light or easy to carry. I don't live too far...

I recently added an extra 2GB of RAM to my machine to take it to 6GB in total. When I bought my PC from here it came with 4GB (Samsung 4GB 1333MHz 2x2GB). I originally wanted 8GB but couldn't afford it. Anyway, the RAM I added was this one...

Ok I know this isn't a PCS laptop problem but I don't know where else to ask. My mum has a Samsung laptop that is described on their website as a gaming laptop. Inside it has an Nvidia GT650M (it shows up in Device Manager along with Intel HD Graphics 4000). When I go to run games on this...

After taking advantage of the Steam summer sale, I have started playing games more on my PC. However, I have a problem with my keyboard. Say I am pressing W to walk forward. I then tap A to take a step left whilst still walking forward. I want to carry on walking forward, but I stop. I have to...

Anyone got one of these? I'm think about getting one to replace my current Logitech mouse. They're only £30 at Amazon? I'm going to pop to my local PC World to see if they have any in stock that I can try out. My only worry is that they don't look very comfortable in your hand. Some of the...

Hey, I bought my PC from here a few months ago. Very happy with it so far but I'm looking at installing some more RAM. Here are my specs. Case STYLISH PIANO BLACK ENIGMA MICRO-ATX CASE + 2 FRONT USB Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i5-2400 Quad Core (3.10GHz, 6MB Cache) + HD Graphics Motherboard...

I got my free 4GB Pen Drive from PCS for submitting a review today. I transferred some college work to it, and now it won't work. When I plug it into the PC, it takes a second to appear, and when it does, clicking on it causes the PC to crash. I've tried it in two PCs and the same happens. I...

Hey, I've got an old Logitech Keyboard that I use with my new PC. It's like 10 years old but I cleaned it and it works perfectly. The model number is Y-RQ57. It has hotkeys dotted around the edge of the keys. These are BACK, HOME, VOL UP/DOWN/MUTE, EMAIL and CALC. They used to work perfectly in...

My PC has finally arrived! It's up and running and I'm currently transferring data from my old PC! :) My Specs are: Case STYLISH PIANO BLACK ENIGMA MICRO-ATX CASE + 2 FRONT USB Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™i5-2400 Quad Core (3.10GHz, 6MB Cache) + HD Graphics Motherboard ASUS® P8H67-M: M-ATX...

I've ordered a PC from here and I'm giving my old laptop to my sister. It runs an old AMD Athlon 2.2Ghz processor and only has 1GB of RAM. I'm going to put Windows XP back on it with the hope that it will run faster. Will this work? It came with XP when I bought it. I currently run Windows 7 on...

Right, my PC is still in pre-production, so at the moment, I'd fiddling around with the specs to see what I can get for around the same budget. I'll be using my PC for college work. So I'll be using programs like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express and Adobe Photoshop (only...
