Hello, This is my first post, the issue isn't pressing as there is a temporary fix, but I'd still like to know what's going on and why I can't seem to fix it. At the beginning of the year I built a new PC, it's not ever 2 weeks old yet and I bought all components from Overclockers, however...

Hi, just wanted an option but do you think two 27" monitors stacked on a single monitor arm, with the top one being slightly tilted would look daft or OK? Thanks.

Last night I switched my PC off as usual. When i went to turn on it on after work the next day, the PC turned on but restarted after around 10 seconds. And since then, the PC has been turning on but there is no signal on my monitors. I have tried using a different monitor, a different HDMI...

Hi all! New here. :-) I'm looking to buy the Alienware Area 51M 17-inch laptop from the Dell site at some point today but I could do with some advice on the specs (I've customised a couple from the lowest base model). 11% off now on A/W on the Dell site so the config below comes to about...

Hi - I've been looking for a while on the internet for a pair of PC headphones that can function both wired and wireless as I'm trying to reduce the amount of cables trailing everywhere on my desk. Can someone suggest me a headset that is both wired (so it can be used while charging) and...

Hey, so as the title reads a friend and I both build new gaming PCs and choose pretty much the same parts bar the SSD, HDD and the Power supply. We both get micro stuttering in our games, the other friends do not. by the way just to clarify it isn't screen tearing it is like a stutter that...

Hi all. I recently upgraded my mobo ram and cpu. Since then I haven't been able to boot windows. It just goes into a loop. I can't even get it in safe mode. As a work around I was willing to install a fresh Windows. It gets to the first screen where you select region and keyboard style etc but I...

My computer has been constantly cutting out the image and then freezing, so I decided to check out the graphic cards inside (2 MSI GeForce GTX 970) and found fluid on the pci-express connector and a dried slight orange liquid on one of the memory chips on the back on the main graphics card...

Hi everyone, I am planning to build a PC for both gaming and work. I need a PC that can sustain 3-4 Hyper-V VMs open at all times doing some tasks (not extremely intensive), but in the same time do my day to day stuff, sometimes gaming (World of Warcraft for example, not 4k games). This is...

The system clock for an ASUS X553M keeps getting out of synch. It isn't the time settings in Windows, as this is set to update from Internet time. I've tried looking in the case for the CMOS battery to replace it, but can't locate it. Haven't found anything useful via search either. Has anyone...

Hi all, New here, looking to absorb as much information as possible. To cut a long story short, decided to build my own server from components as a bit of a project. I've been backwards and forwards between one of the major UK suppliers of hardware trying to find a heatsink + fan that will...

Hi, just a quick one. I've recently bought a PC from Overclockers and installed the OS (Windows 10 Home) on to the SSD for a quicker boot but was wondering would you suggest also installing software to it as well or just use the hard drive and keep everything separate? - 250GB SSD. - 1TB HDD...

Hi, let's start with a little back story. I have two monitors on my desk that I use for both my PC and PS4 via HDMI cable but if I want to switch between the two I have to keep unplugging either the monitor the cable to my PlayStation which I feel is faff. I've seen a few HDMI switches on...
