    PCSPECIALIST PSA: Facebook will be spinning up "AI" ie fake accounts

    I don't think you're paranoid. In fact, after Trump was elected (again) I told a dear friend of mine in the US (who is a Democrat) about the parallels between Trump and Hitler.... Both came to power by promising the masses an easy way forward to a future of prosperity for all. Both blamed all...

    PCSPECIALIST High CPU usage on simple file zip

    The mistake you're making is in trying to second-guess Windows resource management. Usually it's RAM that gets people excited, especially when it's 95% used (or even more). Resource utilisation, including CPU, doesn't matter to you as long as the system is performing well. In essence what...

    PCSPECIALIST 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps

    I'm with @SpyderTracks, keep it simple, at least for testing. All graphics cards have HDMI out and all monitors and TVs (that I know of) have HDMI in. Fore testing then connect one monitor/TV via HDMI direct to the PC and see what happens then. You do know that DP-HDMI adapters are typically...
