    PCSPECIALIST Keyboard driver not working/corrupted/missing.

    If the keyboard doesn't work at all then how did you run SFC?? Since from this it seems you can run some command somehow, try running this one... dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Then run SFC again. Can you boot the Windows installation media? Does the keyboard wok in there? There...

    PCSPECIALIST App Made Too Many Attempts error?

    Interesting. Did you run Windows Update until no more updates were found? If you open Device Manager do any devices have a small yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark next to them? Can you try starting Windows in Safe Mode. In Safe Mode a stripped-down Windows system is loaded, with...

    PCSPECIALIST BSOD on new PC

    I would be extremely interested to hear whether PCS agree to RMA the CPU just because it won't support RAM over 5200MHz. That is the maximum transfer rate that AMD guarantee to support on that CPU...

    PCSPECIALIST App Made Too Many Attempts error?

    When you did the fresh install.... Was it a clean install from bootable media, deleting all existing UEFI partitions? Did you go on and reinstall all your third-party apps and devices before testing? If the answer to 1. is no, then you MUST do a fully clean reinstall from bootable media. If...

    PCSPECIALIST BSOD on new PC

    Sorry for the delay. The dumps are classic bad RAM. Three of them even say so in the dump triage... FAILURE_BUCKET_ID: MEMORY_CORRUPTION_ONE_BIT Your RAM is overclocked at 5600MHz, which of course is what it's designed to do... [Memory Device (Type 17) - Length 92 - Handle 001dh] Memory...

    PCSPECIALIST BSOD on new PC

    Do you mean DOCP? If the system is stable at Auto but not at 5600MHz then flaky RAM would be a reasonable assumption. Please make the Sysnative file public ('anyone with the link'). If this is a new PC and it BSODs configured in the way it was delivered then I would contact PCS ASAP.

    PCSPECIALIST BIOS updating

    Mate, you're so wrapped up in your "industry standards" that you keep missing the key point; an outdated BIOS is very rarely the cause of user problems. Telling someone to update the BIOS as a first step is as pointless and telling them to reinstall Windows (something I see way too often).

    PCSPECIALIST BIOS updating

    I want no part of any forum where guesswork or poke-and-hope becomes an acceptable part of troubleshooting, but that's what you're suggesting when you say "why not flash the BIOS first?". You might just as well pray to the PC fairy whilst you're at it.

    PCSPECIALIST BIOS updating

    But you're making my point in that latest post. In my experience, and not just from my helping but from posts on many fora solved by others, the percentage of problems we see that turn out to be fixed by a BIOS update are tiny - far less than 1% even. Given that, suggesting that the first thing...

    PCSPECIALIST BIOS updating

    Perhaps I'm old school, but I much prefer a logical and step-by-step approach to troubleshooting based on real data. This "just update the BIOS and hope for the best" doesn't wash with me and never will. If the data suggests a BIOS flash is wise then that's what I'll suggest, but in my...
