    PCSPECIALIST OCZ Vertex 2 Died

    Turned my PC on today and it wouldn't boot. I had a feeling what it was but a call to PCS confirmed it, my Vertex 2 packed up in about 2 weeks of it being new. I read a fair few reviews of ten failing but most were older reviews so I assumed the issue would have been resolved with newer stock...

    PCSPECIALIST Mouse & Displays issues when booting up

    New PC is excellent, but I have noticed that occasionally when I boot up the PC the monitor won't pick up the display. If I unplug then plug in the cable it works fine. I have also found that every time I boot it up, the mouse turns on (lights in the mouse come on) but it doesn't do anything...

    PCSPECIALIST Final Fantasy XIV

    Does anyone play this game? I've always been a huge fan of the games, however they have gone a little stale since FFX (I loved that one anyway). I missed FFXI so haven't played a MMORPG version before. Is it worth a look at or is it a miss? It's been out a while now, so I wondered now that...

    PCSPECIALIST USB Ports Not Working

    So, my new PC arrived and it is time to give away my old PC. The problem is, over the last few months USB ports don't seem to work. If I plug in a mouse & keyboard nothing else will work, so basically no memory card readers will work or any other USB connections. There is also the issue that...

    PCSPECIALIST Game Downloader

    Has anyone used Game's digital downloader? I bought The Witcher 2 and I have downloaded the game before however now need to download it again. The first 13% ran at a nice and fast 1200kb/s then it drops down to 200kb/s which happened when I downloaded it first time too. Is this because of the...

    PCSPECIALIST Installing Windows 7...

    :D No, I'm not that dumb that I don't know how to put a disc in a machine but... My PCS machine went into quality control today, so I plan to give my old PC to my dad. The aim is format the hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 like as if it was a brand new PC. That's where the issue lies. I got...

    PCSPECIALIST General PC Gaming Questions & Answers

    As the title says. I've played games since I was a kid and been split between PC and console since I was 14 or so (more so PC these days). I've always been one to play with default controls and the like. Pretty much "plug & play" sort of thing and know the bare minimum when it comes down to the...

    PCSPECIALIST SSD & OS Question

    I've decided to add a SSD to my order, my question is though what size drive will I need? I aim to put the OS, a few programs I use a lot (AVG, iTunes etc) and maybe a couple of games on it at most. I've read around that a 60GB isn't enough and I hope a 80GB is more than enough. Thoughts?

    So I have the new mouse, keyboard here and the new PC on the way to replace my old set up which is 4 years old. My old Logitech 5.1 system is also dated and I've donated it to a family member to have. I've done some looking around but can't find anything special... Most PC sound systems I see...

    PCSPECIALIST GTX 570 or GTX 580

    I'm torn between which card to get. I will be playing games at 1920 x 1080 and play various types of games ranging in graphic intensity. I have done a bit of reading around and it's 50/50 on what I should do. Some say the 570 is more than enough for 1920 x 1080 gaming whilst others say the 580...

    Hello, first post and I've been out of the loop for a while now... My old gaming rig is starting to pack up now after 4 long and hard years of service. I built it myself and has served me well but I don't have the time to build one any more and this place seems to be to get the new PC...
