Will get image asap but away from pc at the minute. Clean install of windows 11 on the new SSD (used as boot drive).

Hi all, I’ve just finished building a new pc and have installed my old HDD in addition to a new SSD. I’m hoping to access my files from my old drive and use it for general storage but it keeps asking for access authorisation and is taking forever for me to get into my old files (loads...

Ok will double check, thanks for the heads up.

Ok good thanks. Yea carrying the 1070 over from my previous build with the intention of upgrading to a 3060 asap.

Hi all, was just hoping someone could give the build I'm looking at a once over just to confirm it'd be alright. Not looking to haggle with small differences in hardware just want to get it nailed so I can order. Thanks! https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/47gyNc

It’s been slowing for a while but actually began to impact my work over the last week or so because it’s started freezing. I’ve run checks for malware multiple times and reinstalled the main programmes I use (the only ones I’d likely have updated in the last month). Can’t remember doing a recent...

Will do, thanks for the help!

Ok great, thanks again for all the help. I suspect I’ll be changing parts out more often in the future but pretty limited knowledge and compatibility issues scare the life out of me, are there any good resources to learn pc building or just pick stuff up as you go along?

Can back everything up if I need to. Yep got a multimeter so can give it a go. All cables original. Should have a couple of psu’s around but don’t know whether the power supply will be high enough, will have a look. Can psu’s be changed out without impacting the system (given that the power...

Was thinking about p Ok great that helps. Was thinking of upgrading to a 3060 asap. Assuming I get a new psu would a new graphics card be easy to drop into this build?

Thanks for the advice. Yea the PSU was refurbished on eBay but already disappeared so think someone got on it pretty quick.

Thanks for the advice. Would a Corsair RM650x (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply work? Because that’s what I’m running at the minute. I’m also cautious of mixing RAM but I’ve got 2 Vulcan 8GB-3600 DDRs too.

Hi all, I was recently recommended the below build: CPU Intel Core i5-13500 2.5 GHz 14-Core Processor £264.48 CPU Cooler Deepcool AK500 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler £56.04 Motherboard Gigabyte B660M AORUS Pro AX DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard £152.18...

Hi all, over the past week or so my PCs performance has taken a dive and I have no idea why. CPU consumption less than 15% and RAM use less than 50%. Freezes on everything on and off but recovers in a couple of minutes. Disk registering at 100% consistently even if no programs are running, I've...
