Hi everyone, I'm putting my PC into storage for about 3 months and need to know if an SSD require power to retain data whilst in storage. If it does, could leaving it plugged it without powering it on solve that? The SSD in question is an Intel 530 series 120GB (my boot drive) Thanks!

Hi everyone, I received my PC about 3 weeks ago and ever since then I get the occasionally BSODs saying Kernel_inpage_error. I have checked online and found that the problem is a failing HDD. I'm pretty convinced it is as when I rebooted from a BSOD, it says "windows was temporarily unable to...

Hi everyone, Just wondering if it is possible to change the PCS boot logo on windows 8.1 which came with the PC to the normal "4 squares" default windows boot screen? I just like the obscurity of the PC, being unbranded and all. Thanks!

For the past month or 2, my laptop has been getting BSODs with the error VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (Nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding) when playing games. This happens on multiple games (BF4, CoD:ghosts, Dota 2) and randomly (I can not see a pattern, could be 30 mins after starting to play, hours, or...

I am considering an upgrade for my graphics card having PCS do it for me. Just wanted to find out how long it would take as I am leaving for my Christmas vacation in 2 weeks time and would like to find out if my laptop will be redelivered to me on time, or I would have to wait until I get back...

So I upgraded to windows 8 yesterday. After a few problems updating hotkey control center, it seems to be working great!! :D But, today I noticed that my Nvidia GPU is active at all times (fans running and the GPU icon showing its active) but no programs are running. Does this mean windows...

I'm trying to upgrade my existing Vortex III from a GTX 675M. But, in the upgrade page it says that there are no amendment options available for the GPU and the RAM as well. Anyone else getting this problem?

I was just wondering when the upgrade service and the 680M will be available as the card has been released and I am interested in upgrading my P170EM from my current 675M. Thanks!

So I received my laptop and found that the backlit keyboard and the O and P keys are physically the wrong way round. No problem, contacted PCS and they're sending me a replacement keyboard for me to install. Now, the problem here is that I know how to remove the keyboard from the chassis, but...

So my laptop arrived today!!! Loving it and will post soecs and review later when I have time. Had a few issues with it including the O and P keys being swapped around. LOL By the way, does anyone know how to get the backlit keyboard to work?? pandanasbearz

So they called me today regarding my order which is "in testing" and told me that my wireless card (intel ultimate) is no longer in stock and I had the option to switch to the advanced or killer. This DOES NOT make sense to me whatsoever. How can you have a computer in testing without the...

Ok, so I ordered a vortex 3 laptop and it is currently in building. I was wondering if I could take a 3D (120 Hz) monitor and hook it up through HDMI, using the Blu-ray playing on the laptop to read 3D blu-ray movies. I have the 4X Blu-Ray reader and the Nvidia GTX 675M if that helps. Could...

Ordered 3 days ago, and now in pre-production. What do you guys think of this spec, any suggestions as I can still change the order? Also, from this point, how long should it take to be dispatched? EXCITED!! :) Vortex Series: 17.3" Glossy Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Intel® Core™i7 Quad...
