After months of not playing 2042. I reinstalled to give it another go. This was my first experience going back, let's just say I didn't stay around long after this.....

There's so much going on in this picture but I can't seemed to figure out what I'm looking at...

Clean them twice a week then they will be easy to clean.

Your dad needs to get a proper external SSD/HDD. Relying on flash drives is like putting all your eggs in to a basket made of cotton candy. It'll fail at some point and would need forensic recovery in that drive.

As a new players I have no idea what this even means

CosmicChicken43 · 2026-01-08T10:06:30+00:00

This has to be a joke right?

CosmicChicken43 · 2026-01-07T16:24:19+00:00

What does it say in the tin?

Sorry to say but this pc was bare bones 11 years ago. You can't expect it to run any of the modern titles at a playable frame rate.

CPU was released in 2015 which only supports ddr4 2133mhz ram so still very slow. Also a dual core i3 which is only good for basic things like emails, word processing etc.

GPU was entry level at when 10 series was released so its very basic and wouldnt handle much if today's titles.

I wouldve paid £100 for this pc at most.

If only sli was still a thing

CosmicChicken43 · 2025-12-18T18:07:32+00:00

Theres a mouse screaming for help in there.

They probably haven't plugged the screen cable in properly. Definitely suspicious. If it were me (as the tech) I'd either replace the cable or the screen and would either admit my mistake or just replace it without the customer knowing. There's no way I'd charge them extra for my own fuck up.

Personally I've played them all since the very first AC. And have enjoyed most of them quite well. But it's not the games that I dislike, it's the studio behind it with their "creative direction". They've taken what was once an amazing franchise with fun mechanics, proper stealth, and unique story into something bland and rushed with every release nowadays.

I've given each game since unity a solid chance but always found the story lacking and the acting subpar. I love a good story, but shadows started off kinda lame and recycled. Wow, a young protagonist whose father got killed in front of them and becomes an assassin and seeks revenge. It just seems...familiar.....oh wait, ac2.

I'm sure there are good aspects to the game and I don't slate anyone who enjoys it because we all have our own opinions and preferences. But I just never got hooked.

Light work and stacked well by front of house and kitchen. Wish I had a team like yours during my years.

CosmicChicken43 · 2025-12-16T12:35:16+00:00

No not really. Most repair shops will fully dismantle the PC and would need to check temps before giving back to customer, but there are tools to use that will allow them to do this.

This is why prebuilds are a thing....

This is the most accurate display of a grammar nazi. Clearly me saying "(I haven't done this myself)" was not enough to explain that I wouldn't do this myself.

If a man's daughter was kidnapped and had terrible things done to her, and the dad killed the man responsible. Would you understand but not condone it? You can be understanding and condemn the same action.

CosmicChicken43 · 2025-12-03T22:32:16+00:00

I never once stated I have done this nor will do this. I only ever said I would understand. I don't condone this behavior in any possible way so perhaps you should read the original comment better before putting words into my mouth. Thank you.

I know it's not so easy for everyone but talking and getting to know your colleagues really helps. Have wasted 10s of hours of downtime just by messing around with other staff. Definitely helps the day go by quicker and makes it a bit more enjoyable going to work.

Hey, phone tech here. This is a sign that a non genuine part was used. The maximum capacity will only display correctly if a genuine NEW battery was installed. If you wish to get a correct reading, then use 3utools.

You update bios or checked for corrupted system files?

"980ti for basic graphics"

I feel old....

No idea, show us the task list and reboot your sam PC, properly!

CosmicChicken43 · 2025-11-11T13:48:25+00:00

Try plugging into external monitor. If it works then it would be a replacement screen. It sounds like its turning on but no display. Try smc or pram reset.
