    Question Brand new PC hard crashes

    Question Brand new PC hard crashes

    Question New PC arrived today but doesnt work

    there was a hell of a lot of cushioning, pc came inside polyester molds and the outside was covered in bubble rap. but even if the gfx card was faulty, it wouldn't effect mouse + keyboard turning on and receiving power would it? i guess i'll just have to return it and wait another 10 days or...

    Question New PC arrived today but doesnt work

    i don't have a DP cable, but not sure if that would make a difference as no peripherals or anything are turning on either, mouse keyboard etc, it just seems everything thats plugged in just doesn't receive any power or connect properly

    Question Is it ok to use my PC without an exhaust fan?

    i'm unsure on what the make / model is, i'm able to take the side with the glass panel off no problems, it slides off like you say, but the other side where the wires are stored just won't budge at all, and obviously i don't want to rip it off if it's connected to something sensitive.
