I tried a new RAM stick to see if faulty RAM was causing the issue. However, the problem persisted so I believe it was a motherboard fault. I was unable to get into the BIOS. I have now replaced the laptop, however, if there are solutions for getting my old one up and running again, I would...

Laptop will not turn on. Power button is lit up and green battery light is on. CPU fan starts for half a second and then nothing. I came home last night to find my laptop had gone to sleep. Nothing unusual there, but upon pressing the power button nothing happened. I thought it had powered off...

I am looking to improve my home workspace with a new monitor. Probably 27 inches. My issue is that i can't decide if i should go for a 4k screen or not. I have outlined my setup below and the specific questions that i have: Current setup: PC Specialist custom laptop 4k 15.6 inch screen (scaled...

Good thought! I replaced the Thermal paste and the 'CPU fan error' did not show on boot. However, when I got to the Windows 10 login i had about 3 seconds before it auto-shutdown again. The CPU fans were much quieter this time around though. Could it be that my heatsink is too tight and is...

Hi, Came back after a year away from home and booted my desktop. I got a CPU Fan Error message although the CPU fans are spinning. The computer then auto-shutdown. After some research i tried using a different, working, fan connected to the CPU header. Same problem. I also disabled CPU fan...

HI, sorry for the late reply, I'm using an XFX 750W PSU. I am already using A corsair H100i and i am overclocked to 4.6Ghz. CPU runs cool same as MSI GPU. I have checked my temps and nothing seams too high. Thanks for the link. I am running the latest version of Vectorworks 2017. Its fully...

Thanks for the advice. I have checked my temps and im not going above 32 degrees (C) yet. But i might replace the thermal paste anyway. My monitor is on 60Hz and i have set the disk write cache as in the links. I decided to have afterburner and a few other monitoring programs open whilst i...

Thanks, please could you elaborate on the GPU throttling? I dont suffer any drops in gaming or performance in other areas. The MSI version of the card i have is overclocked slightly and is meant to have pretty good cooling (the fans never make 100%). I will post the question on a 3D forum...

Hi, I was not sure exactly where this thread should be posted so apologies if its in the wrong place. I am finding that after 30mins of using Vectorworks or AutoCAD the redraw rate and the object info boxes flicker a bit and the programs become really slow. Changing between tools and moving...

So i reinstalled the USB 3 boost from under the Windows 7 64bit section of ASUS support in compatibility for Windows 7 and now it says 'USB device is not found'.

I have been looking for a sticky on how to post more detailed system specs but cant find one easily. Have you got a link? (maybe i just missed it) I will reinstall the Asus AI suite again in compatibility mode and see where that gets me. Thanks

Before i upgraded to windows 10, i was on windows 7 and i could use my external Seagate hard drives and Asus Ai Suite 2 with USB 3 Boost to get USAP on them which was fantastic. I then upgraded to Windows 10. I have the same drives plugged into my USB 3.0 ports with the same Asus Ai suite 2 &...

I'm looking to get a program for creating fast moving slide shows of images and some video. I would like the images to flash past every 0.3 of a second or so like you see in adverts sometimes. I'm happy to pay or use freeware I just have no idea what sort of thing to look for. Anyone got some...

I have stuck with Music Bee fo the time being, it does seem to be pretty good now that i have customised it to my liking :) thanks for the suggestion
