Hi all, thanks for the quick answers. In order... ---------- gooseqz: About speeds, I think I understand - have been getting 40+Mb down on my PC on very rare occasions, but I'm not expecting 40MB so don't worry! I do have the option to connect to both 2.4 and 5, and I've tried both. I get...

So recently I've been experiencing extremely low speeds on my PC. I don't get this on any other device and it's not affecting anyone else in my house. I'm on a fibre package with Virgin which should give me up to 50Mb down. On my phone, when I run a speedtest right by my PC, I pull up to around...

I've never had any issues with my hardware before, but I turned my PC on earlier today and I had no display. I had to plug my monitor into my mobo to use the onboard graphics, and I've since discovered that the GPU isn't recognized in the BIOS/device manager, etc. I've opened the PC up and...

I keep experiencing DNS issues, where I can continue communicating via VOIP, streaming a video, or playing an online game, but can't establish new connections to web pages. The only way I can fix this is to disable my network adapter and re-enable it, which fixes the problem instantly. I'm...

Normally I'd have thought that, but I actually reinstalled windows on Sunday morning, and I've only reinstalled what I need (A browser, AV, necessary drivers, etc). So there's very little running in the background, and I've run lots of scans (Full scans) which haven't uncovered anything.

Hi there. Recently been noticing some performance issues with my PC, namely, very slow response time and programs stopping responding, slower boot time, and very slow to shut down. Opened up the Resource Monitor, and noticed that my disk use was extremely high, with 100% highest active time...

Hi there. I recently reinstalled windows, and noticed that my D drive (Which previously didn't even show up under My Computer) is using 7.5 of it's 8GB space. This is almost entirely down to two files, SPL_WINDOWS.swm (4GB) and SPL_WINDOWS2.swm (3GB). I have no idea if this might be slowing...

I've been around all the threads I can find on this topic with no result. I recently replaced my 250w PSU with a Corsair CX500, and my Radeon HD 6670 with a Sapphire R9 270X. After installing both, the PC boots (All fans spinning, light, beep, etc) but I get the 'No signal detected' error on my...

Hey, thanks for your replies. I've been thinking about upgrading my PSU for a while as it's very low atm and I realise I'll need a better one to run a better graphics card. I wouldn't want to spend more than £150-170 on a graphics card. I've been running a 24 inch monitor on my 6670 for a...

Hi there. Recently noticed a drop in performance with my PC trying to play some newer games, and also older ones performing at a lower standard than before. I want to buy I new PC but won't be able to afford that for a while - in the meantime, what would be the best part of my PC to upgrade...

Running Windows 7 64bit. Desktop PC with 8gb of ram and a quad core Intel i5 processor with 3.00ghz. My boot time has been getting longer and longer recently, so I looked up how long it was actually taking, and got a bit of a surprise. http://puu.sh/bajTv/8b02ab5e03.png Literally my entire...
