It was just something I was reading. One solution mentioned involved putting pressure on the effected pixels. There was no way I was going to be messing around doing that! The other involved software which apparently tries to bring the stuck pixels back to life by rapidly flashing each pixel...

I take it from that response that the software is unlikely to be particularly effective. I was steeling myself to the prospect of having to return it. Thanks for the reply. :)

I didn't buy the guarantee but I have messaged PCS. I wasn't particularly thrilled at the idea of having to send it back though, hence wondering, probably in vain, if there might be another solution.

I've noticed a broken line of stuck pixels on part of the screen of my new laptop. It's showing as blue against dark background and now that I've spotted them I can't unspot them. Has anyone had any luck using pixel fixing software?

Thanks. I had a shot at gaming on the battery and it didn't seem to last long. Glad that's normal! :) I've found HWMonitor to download at a place called CPUID. Is that the one?

My new laptop has arrived. I once again took advice from the forums before ordering And am appreciative of all help given Not having owned a laptop before I have a couple of questions. I have seen posts from people quoting specific temperatures. Early days and I don't have any concerns over...

I hope they are legit. He originally got them while at university but I didn't enquire. If not then he can't really complain if he has to start paying for new downloads :)

I'll have a check of what is on that drive. Thanks to both of you for your advice. As this has veered away from the original enquiry I'll probably ask for further advice on the Technical Support part of the forum as I need it.

He's actually still on Windows 7. I mentioned that on another thread and the response was one of absolute horror from all and sundry. I had talked to him about what was said about upgrading to Windows 10 but he had some concerns. 1. As I stated before he uses Adobe products which are old...

I was hoping nobody would say that. :)

Thanks. Once I've given it a good clean out we were going to start looking at the components. What would be the best way of testing the GPU?

The other day out of the blue when my son hovered over the timeline on the video he was editing it started moving forward on its own. When he gives over the video clip it moves backwards very slowly, stuttering as it does. Other random things, if he clicks on a drop down box on a site he...

I would have thought that was just a question of budget. :)

I realise that if he were to get a new PC on his current budget it would be a case of going backwards compared to what is available now. My preference would be to resolve the issues he is having right now with the existing pc then he could potentially hold off buying a new one until he is better...

He told me he was looking at between £600 to £700 which I had thought would be pushing it. I am certainly not looking at anything more than around £1k. This is his current PC. Case SHARKOON BD28 GAMING CASE (Green LED) Processor (CPU) Intel® Core™ i7 Quad Core Processor i7-4790 (3.6GHz) 8MB...

myself and my daughter have recently ordered new laptops via PCS and now it looks like my son may be getting in on the act, so I'm looking for a little advice. He currently has a desktop which is 6 years old. He doesn't do any gaming on it but he does use Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and...

Yes, I was thinking something like that. Hopefully not long to wait now!

Thanks again. I was just taking a look. My knowledge level is fairly low on these things. :) I'll assume there's a reason for the change following testing.

Thanks. So what is the difference between a M.2 and a PCI-e device in respect of Bluetooth and wireless?

I have a laptop in testing now. Checking my account I saw this change. GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (2.4 Gbps) + BT 5.0 Change to: GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (2.4 Gbps) + BT 5.0 I hadn't been notified. Is this normal and is this change in any way significant?
