Maybe that is where I am going wrong. I measure my walks in terms of slices of banana bread :unsure:

I'm sure that within the depths of the Imperial system, amongst the hundredweights, drams, grains, scruples, quarts, gills, pecks and furlongs, that there exists a banana related measure. And if not, there is always: http://bananaforscale.info/#!/

Aye, it would appear so: The model number is: RX-68XTACBD9 I guess PCS is literally finding any card it can from suppliers.

Have you tried holding down the power button for 10 seconds? That is often a means for a hard power off when a laptop has issues shutting down.

Mine arrived yesterday. Was going to give it a go last night after shutting down, but that plan lasted barely 3 seconds after turning it on after midnight - had no idea something so small could sound so loud (certainly comparable to a small vacuum cleaner). That said, it really does generate a...

If you are fairly sure it is coming from the PSU, might be worth shining a torch into the rear PSU grill to see if you can see anything moving in sync with the knocking noise. Of course, keep a distance from the PSU.

Happy New Year fellow PCS customers!! It's past 11pm. We're out of the EU. 🙁 Whatever your politics, let's pull together! All the very best for 2021! 🙂

Out of interest, with the room darkened, if you look into the rear of the PSU (obviously not too close) do you see any arcing or sparking when the knocking is happening?

To be fair, you're right - they're not cheap. Still on honeymoon with my PC (Gertrude, because a computer has to have a name) so buckled and bought one. Mentally justified it by listing all the devices I could use it on (mechanical keyboards, laptop, consoles etc). As to whether I actually...

Several people, who also have the Tenda W322e wifi card and couldn't enable WiFi either, managed to resolve the issue by downloading the drivers for a Lenovo wifi card, which happens to use the same chipset as the Tenda wifi card. The driver is here...

Hi Elaine. With this being a Tenda wifi card, is there a Tenda software application that you can download with the driver? The application may be able to communicate with the card and present you with options to enable the wifi on the card, or to change settings which may kick the wifi card...

Do you have a backup of your data (i.e. a backup that is not on your computer)? If so, best thing to try is to do a clean installation of Windows, and delete all existing partitions and let the installation process recreate them. This will remove any boot issues from previous Windows...

You probably have done this already during previous driver uninstallation attempts, but when uninstalling the driver, can you tick the box labelled Delete the driver software for this device That will permanently remove the driver files and all its registry settings - that should enable a...

I can trade it for a copy of Windows for Workgroups 3.11? 😄

One thing we can try before that. In Device Manager, find the WiFi adapter, right click and select Properties. In the window that pops up, is there a power management tab? If so, can you deselect the option to allow Windows to turn off the device?
