I bought a PC from Overclockers last year (June-July time) to play Warzone and Black Ops only. If I try and play the game in any graphics configuration above minimum quality, the PC reboots without warning after a few minutes of playing, or even just sat on the menu screen. The reboot is...

Hello, This morning my computer wouldn't turn on, I tried unplugging everything, different power sockets but none of that worked. I then opened up my computer, I removed the RAM sticks and reseated them, as well as found a power cable on the motherboard that seemed slightly loose. The PC now...

Evening all! So I recently received a custom rig as a gift from my wife from Overclockers and it's honestly been fantastic, i could not fault it. However over the last couple of months it seems to have... slowed down/started to struggle. Occasionally I'll have graphical hiccups when i...

Hi Forum people I'm an old hand at building PCs, but I'm really out of touch with the latest stuff. Like I haven't opened a case in anger for maybe 5 years (except to replace my video card a short while ago). I'd like to upgrade my gaming/rendering machine without spending the Big Bucks. The...

Hello, I've got a problem as the motherboard I was going to use doesn't boot despite trying many different fixes. My only conclusion is that it's a faulty onboard graphics chip. My plan was to use the following hardware to run a VST for eDrums with Superior Drummer 3: Asus M3A78-CM Motherboard...

Hey guys, Got a new PC. The PC is great but the booting I find is a little strange. Its been sent back tested, but the same problem persist. At least i think its a problem. The PC booted up in around 20 odd seconds at first. Now its taking over double the time. It starts up makes a noise...

Hello, This is my first post, the issue isn't pressing as there is a temporary fix, but I'd still like to know what's going on and why I can't seem to fix it. At the beginning of the year I built a new PC, it's not ever 2 weeks old yet and I bought all components from Overclockers, however...
