    PCSPECIALIST PC Specialst & ASUS ROG £3,000 "Out Of This World" PC GIVEAWAY!

    I'm sure they will let us know when its drawn, but I suspect those who do the deed of drawing it and contacting the winner were asleep when you asked Its normally within a few days of the end date of the giveaway entries, but the winner does have 30 days to respond to any contact so it can take...

    PCSPECIALIST Login problem

    Note: a clean installation will wipe everything from that drive, and I mean everything. Admittedly you cant get to it anyway, but just so you know

    PCSPECIALIST "Special Offer"

    As I say IF its written as I said above (you didn't say if it was or not - what is the item?) I think its just marketing spiel for 'good price', it may be you got that before they changed the text on the item, though prices can change daily anyways so not sure how you'd tell. It may be worth...

    PCSPECIALIST "Special Offer"

    If its now a free game then its down to what the manufacturers state as their start and end dates - and you have to order in the relevant timespan, so if you order before the start date that PCS were allowed to offer it then PCS cant/shouldn't apply it to your build as its not upto them when its...

    PCSPECIALIST Upcoming Ryzen 7000 series desktop processors

    Dammit, I may finally have to change to AMD - I was about to start planning my 12th Gen Intel machine, but may have to wait now - grrrrr The (ancient) game I play really benefits from clock speed

    PCSPECIALIST Can't get access to my Sky account online.

    Access Denied normally means the password is wrong, or there is a problem with the account, or even that there are problems with the login process of Sky at the time. If changing the password doesn't help, or you're sure its correct, and the problem still persists after a day or so I'd give Sky...

    PCSPECIALIST Worldwide stock issues and reasons for it

    Do note this thread is now quite old (18 months give or take) so the shortages are not generally an issue now

    PCSPECIALIST Build time?

    I'd normally expect it to be in testing til at least tomorrow. And then (if nothing is found in testing obviously) hopefully its be dispatched later that day or the next (dependent on the amounts of others awaiting dispatch and how much space there is available in the DPD van(s) (its DPD if...

    PCSPECIALIST Build time?

    Once in building the process is normally pretty fast (unless they find something they need to sort out in testing), so you've got over the longest bit of the process :)

    PCSPECIALIST Zotac geforce rtx 3090 ti fan blades sheared off

    As Aza said they will want the old one back, so make sure its ready to hand over when the courier with your new one turns up, it may be different as you're in Jersey but normally in the mainland UK at least the courier hands you the new one and you hand the old one to take back at the same time

    PCSPECIALIST Losing Signals to Monitors

    Though given it also apparently happens when only a single word doc was open that surely wouldn't be caused by the PSU not being enough

    PCSPECIALIST Some help please

    Could you let us know what you'll be using it for and if gaming then examples of the games you play will help. IMO if its only for gaming then a 3090Ti is complete overkill and just not needed

    PCSPECIALIST Windows 10 OS Broken/Corrupted after BIOS Update - Unable to repair/reinstall windows

    And this is why PCS don't allow you to flash/update the BIOS whilst staying within the warranty I'm afraid, cos that can unfortunately happen if it all goes horribly wrong :( I'm glad you managed to find a replacement mobo and get it sorted though and glad that its all running again

    PCSPECIALIST RMA Wait time query

    I think you have to contact them and they will ask for proof of purchase - I don't think you can do it from the site Phone will be the quickest way to sort it out Though actually if they've already got it in RMA, it may be registered with them already, it may be registered against the email...

    PCSPECIALIST 1 Long Beep 3 short beeps.

    Yeah if it works fine when using the integrated graphics but wont even recognise the existence of the GPU I'd be thinking aa GPU issue - especially as it has been reseated already. Since it was from Currys then @WastingCache you will have to either go through Currrys or talk to PCS about...

    PCSPECIALIST Configuring a PC - error?

    Dependent on the case and the RAM chosen the AIO radiator is sometimes at the front of the case instead of up top, therefore this does affect how long the GPU can be for it to fit. Its possible the tech building it for you did have a right fight trying to get it to fit, or maybe you've ended up...

    PCSPECIALIST A Series of Questions

    Generally I've seen it to be 0.5-2 working days presuming they don't find anything that needs fixing If it takes longer than that it could be that they've found an issue - or there was a holdup in testing ahead of your build. If they find any issues then notes should be added to your order in...

    Presuming you're using a MIcrosoft account to log into your PC have you tried using the 'Forgot Password' option.

    PCSPECIALIST Just set up Desktop from PCS, then attempted to upgrade RAM. Need some help.

    For most motherboards one beep is the POST beep and if that's the only beep then it means everything is ok :)
