    PCSPECIALIST Advice on my spec! With a budget of around £2,000...

    Video editing in premiere just got interesting as they have added more hardware encoding to things (using nvenc) so faster gpu helps, well technically more cuda cores helps, but you know what I mean. I've just replaced my editing laptop, gone for 2070super Memory, on amd fastest possible and...

    PCSPECIALIST Scientific research/data analysis laptop

    If size is the issue, look at not the screen size but the whole chassis, most 15's are now smaller overall than old school 14's, 17's are now 15' sizes. And ifnyour doing scientific style workloads, go AMD, you will thank yourself for it. Stocknto multi channel not single channel memory (so...

    PCSPECIALIST is it worth upgrading?

    9700k is a great overclocker and you can get binned ones as well. However,correct me if I'm wrong, 300mb dB is causing you issues? If it is it needs a rework as that shouldn't even challenge a raspberry pi let alone a core i7. 300 gig, yeah maybe, but that doesn't sound like a solution you...

    PCSPECIALIST Slow WiFi on new computer

    Might be worth doing a survey (https://www.acrylicwifi.com/en/wlan-software/wlan-scanner-acrylic-wifi-free/) and see if you have wireless clash/overlap/collision, or goto the driver settings and force 5ghz mode or 2.4ghz mode see which works best. Just because you get a strong signal doesn't...

    PCSPECIALIST Screen blackout issues

    Silly as it sounds, might be the PSU, perhaps too much draw on the circuit? Had stranger things happen with bad psu's in the past, my current rig (twin Xeon with pascal based quadro) and that needed a beast of a psu to stay stable, well over what you would think, 800s just didn't cut the mustard...

    PCSPECIALIST No WiFi on Recoil IV

    Worth remembering you can 'slipstream' drivers into the usb for builds (I have it for a bunch of my ancillary stuff) and as long as you update the core os regularly ish it makes for a much easier re install

    PCSPECIALIST No WiFi on Recoil IV

    You could have technically 'force loaded' one of the Intel standard drivers, that's all the killer cards are, Intel cards with special driver, so the Intel drivers do work, just none of the 'special' features will work, but would have been enough to get it working. Some of the Dell laptops with...

    PCSPECIALIST Need some Advice about a recent crash

    If it happens again have a look in the windows/system part of eventviewer (why no one nowadays knows it exists is beyond me 😊) That will show a warning (red) showing exactly what crashed on you, let us know and we can work it out, sounds like a kernel mode failure somewhere, most likely gpu...

    PCSPECIALIST Will the 2000 series cards go on sale- if so, when?

    If they go the same way that nvidia have done it in the last 3 generations, they announce the halo card (3080ti or rumoured 3090) and 'top' card (3080) then a month or 2 later they release the 'normal' card 3070, then the 'entry' card (3060), this usually takes a quarter as they don't want to...

    PCSPECIALIST No WiFi on Recoil IV

    Aah I (wrongly) assumed you had done all the updates via wire and still WiFi wasn't working. If you have an android phone, USB tether it and pull the WiFi drivers

    PCSPECIALIST Battery failure and care

    Hwmonitor has battery stats, if the sensors are available to it it will tell you temps. However if its completely dead I would sudgest removing it from the chassis if possible, lithium based batteries aren't the most forgiving things when they are unhealthy.

    PCSPECIALIST Vyper 17 - Thoughts after Two Weeks

    I'll be installing latest insider from day 0, so Windows will be up to date, I've got a build script that does everything for me as I refresh my os every six months or so, with all the dev tools I install over time it tends to get cluttered with junk pretty quick.

    PCSPECIALIST Vyper 17 GPU and temps

    If the ram is GDDR6 it's the refreshed part, the original rtx cards were GDDR5, so only refresh and super have GDDR6.

    Anytime :) Look for things like below and Should point you in the right direction, if it's GPU issues, should be an nvidia driver, if core CPU should be from the HAL (or kernel mode)
