    Title changed, however I hadn't realised you'd also messaged here.

    PCSPECIALIST HDD no longer initialising

    Hey, Depending on the age of the machine PCS could probably help with an RMA if you're not confident in rooting about inside yourself. Do you have the specs from your order page (on main PCS site)? Most desktops now are very easy to access via the side panels etc. Push come to shove though if...

    PCSPECIALIST Happy N7 Day!!!

    Looks like a dressing gown... the red is a bit garish in my opinion albeit perhaps muted when the coat's closed but each to their own!

    PCSPECIALIST Would anyone like a discounted Frostflow 240?

    Its not permitted to buy/sell here. You can maybe try eBay/FB Marketplace etc. I'm going to lock this post.

    PCSPECIALIST The New Outlook app that replaces windows mail and calendar

    I've only tried it a few times at work and I don't like it currently, there are a few QOL things I would like implemented before I try and get too far into it (really basic stuff that doesn't really affect anything but .. its how I like things). Most of the issues I have with it from a user POV...

    PCSPECIALIST Alien: Isolation 2

    I need to find some big boy pants and go replay the original. It is still one of the scariest gaming experiences I've ever had.

    PCSPECIALIST Screen keeps going black after RMA

    Just FYI don't quote the post when reminding folk as your quote also contains the windows key and this wasn't edited out by whomever deleted it earlier this morning. Inadvertent of course but easy fix :)

    PCSPECIALIST No audio from internal speakers or output jack socket, only BT

    The original owner can transfer ownership of the laptop and any remaining warranty via PCS to you and you should absolutely request that they do this. It'll mean PCS will be able to help you now and in the future. Did you see (or hear I guess) it all working before you bought it?

    PCSPECIALIST One-liners

    @TonyCarter @Martinr36 I've deleted the short exchange between yourselves as it was politically leaning. I first sent a gentle reminder on this back in May https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/one-liners.71763/post-743315.

    PCSPECIALIST Vertical laptop stands.

    I didn't really realise they were a thing, I don't see many Apple laptops out in the wild! The company I work for uses Dell laptops and there's no vertical stands here. Seem daft to me, aesthetics over function.

    PCSPECIALIST Gaming Laptop

    I lightly edited your post to remove the unnecessary spacing, hope you don't mind. What is your budget for the laptop? I'd remove the Norton as its effectively useless, Windows Defender is perfectly fine for almost all home uses. I'd consider going for at least Silver warranty and adding the...

    PCSPECIALIST cpu error overheating

    Hi, Have you checked to see if your cooler is plugged into the mobo correctly both mechanically onto the cooling plate and also electronically for the fan control? Might need to be removed, cleaned and replaced if there's been some degradation of thermal paste for example. If you're not...

    PCSPECIALIST Second opinion is always appreciated :)

    @shaunpomfrett, the first thing you need to do is decide whether you are going to look at upgrading your existing PC (https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/upgrade-help.98322/#post-752460) or a buying a new PC (this thread). I'm happy leaving the threads seperate currently, but once a...
