    PCSPECIALIST Unable to Reset PC

    Hopefully it's all good. Phoned Tech Support and spoke with Matthew, things have changed since I last done any of this over 10 years ago and I hadn't deleted all the partitions on the drive so Windows was getting itself confused and getting stuck in a loop, but got this sorted and at least I've...

    PCSPECIALIST Unable to Reset PC

    I’m trying to re-install a clean copy of Windows 11 as per my previous thread. I formatted the system installation drive and allowed Windows to boot from a USB and re-install Windows. I get past the boot screen to the PCS logo with a spinning circle. This then fades to another PCS logo with a...

    Windows XP / 7 reinstalls were easy I used to just boot to CD then re-format C and re-install but not having had to do it in a long time I wasn’t sure how much had changed

    PCSPECIALIST Unable to Reset PC

    Might be able to salvage it if anyone knows how I could maybe get in to MS Config to uncheck Safe Mode Boot. If I could even get into Safe Mode but the Hello Pin is what’s messing me up (cos I stupidly never thought to turn it off!!)

    PCSPECIALIST Unable to Reset PC

    I know the screen usually goes off and on during Nvidia updates but this time it just sat at a black screen which I've never had before. Usually when I've done a reset before it re-downloads Windows and re-installs but I recently bought a new PCS system and this is first time I've never been...

    PCSPECIALIST PC Not Booting

    I've done a reset and re-installation of the operating system and the system has come back up as normal.

    I've not tried this yet as I'm wanting to run my memory at 3600 as that's the reason I bought it rather than having to drop down to stock speed of 2400 but if there's any more information I'll be keeping an eye on this and contact PCS into the New Year. Hopefully this has sorted out the...
