I bought this PC a little over 2 years ago from PCS. In the past week, I've been regularly getting some artifacting (or whatever it is) on the screen when I'm in certain applications. It appears and disappears at various points, depending on where the mouse moves and which window I have open...

I bought a PC from PCS a couple of years ago and it came with a 450W unbranded PSU (on further inspection it appears to be a "FSP 450-60APN"). It's a fairly weak system, with just an AMD A4-3400 cpu in an Asus F1A55-m LE (also a Radeon 6850), however I'm now upgrading some parts. I'm getting an...

I just took a picture of my computer to illustrate how this works. I have the Maelstrom T900 case too, so this is what your case will look like: Behind each of the yellow things on the side is a 5.25" bay - a hard drive bay. You can see the pre-installed hard drive that came with the computer...

I bought my PC from here almost 2 years ago, and I'd like to upgrade it because it's a bit terrible. I therefore would appreciate some advice on upgrading. Here's my current PC specs: Case - PCS Maelstrom T900 CPU - AMD A4-3400 GPU - AMD Radeon HD 6850 RAM - 4GB Samsung Dual-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X...

Recently my computer (which I got about 14 months ago from here) has been acting peculiarly. I say peculiarly... what I mean is that my applications crash all the time; whether it's Steam, my browser, a word document or Windows Explorer. Even when I have the bare minimum of applications...

I've incorrectly installed my new hard drive, it seems. I placed the hard drive in its bay, connected the SATA cable to both the hard drive and the motherboard, and connected the power lead to it. But when I start up my computer, it doesn't seem to recognise it. When I go to Computer, it doesn't...

I plugged my computer back in after poking around inside of it earlier, and now it can't detect any audio devices for playback when I plug them in. Any advice on what to do? Thanks

I ordered a new hard drive last week and it arrived today. I've had to look up how to install it on the internet but I haven't fiddled with things inside a computer before, so I'm a bit new to this. I understand that I need some extra cables - what exactly do I need? I'm trying to install the...

Just wanting to upgrade a couple things of mine, so was wondering if you could pass on some advice I'm looking to get a second hard drive, and would like a nice big solid fast reliable hard drive. Would this one be optimal...

Hey, A couple months back I bought a computer from here (loving it, by the way) and I've just moved it to a location where it can't get wireless connection. I bought the PC with the wireless network card ("GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS 802.11N 300Mbps PCI CARD") not the standard wired. In the previous...

I bought my computer with the free trial of Office, but having now got the computer, Office isn't loaded on to it. Can't find it anywhere, nor can I find anything in the box. Any ideas? Thanks

(This review is very detailed, I'm hoping that people thinking about buying from PCS will find this helpful) On Thursday my new computer arrived, I would have written the review then but I've been extremely busy. I have taken pictures of the computer and me unboxing it, but I can't find my...

So, I just got my new PC :D but I'm only getting 2 bars internet signal. The attenae are plugged in at the back and no matter where I point them I'm only getting 2 bars signal. Any ideas?

Just wondering when exactly they email you to say what time your computer's arriving, or is this just a text? My computer got dispatched first thing yesterday morning at 7.30am, so it should come today, and I haven't had an email since the one saying it's been dispatched.

Simple question - what brand are the AMD GPUs? (I assume they are all the same, if not then specifically the 6850) cheers in advance
