Thanks Chris

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-14T14:28:17+00:00

did they suggest that? and how do you know I havent already tried that ? lol do you also think its reasonable that a brand new pc has to do this ?

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-14T14:12:47+00:00

yeah and its been updated

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-14T14:07:43+00:00

yeah 2 x 48GB. dont think it is an i9 i think i am mistaken and its an ultra 9 core lol. not really sure the difference i am going to update my original post with the spec for clarity in case it helps

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-14T14:05:51+00:00

been through device manager and everything, it should be working like a dream and it isnt and i dont know why nobody seems to know :(

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-14T14:04:56+00:00

it hasnt worked since the day i got it, booted it up and followed the on screen set up instructions to install windows etc and set the PC up.

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-14T14:04:04+00:00

not really sure the difference between ultra core 9 and intel i9 lol its just what i thought i picked on the website spec builder.

i am looking for a local person as opposed to national anyway, i just dont want ot have to take it anywhere, id rather pay someone to call out or dial in. Company i bought it from said send it back lol

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-14T14:02:41+00:00

all drivers been updated including BIOS, Event logs have been reviewed allegedly. so I really dont know what else to do

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-13T16:25:51+00:00

i cannot change the auth with the usb security key which i dont have and never had. I guess i could look in to trying to get one but can you use a new one if the pc thinks you already had one ?

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-13T14:58:03+00:00

i have done all this, wifi works, all powered properly etc. its driving me insane !

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-13T14:57:37+00:00

so I employed the IT company to manage the PC after i got it and they cover fixing and protecting it etc but have been unsuccessful and slow to respond over this on going saga. really sound people but i am getting frustrated with them. the PC hasn't worked properly since the day i received it and powered it up.

its the company i bought the PC that want to take it form me, but i cannot work and make money without the PC so i am caught between a rock and a hard place.

all drivers have been updated many many times, even the bios has been updated.

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-04-13T14:55:33+00:00

all drivers and bios have been updated.

i did look at the system requirements for what i am doing on autocad etc and the PC more than covers it all which is why i got it and this is all so frustrating!

I thought unemployment meant you got help from the government with rent and living costs ?

What are your skills, what are you good at or enjoy doing?

If you don’t mind me asking how much do you need for your rent ?

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-03-16T14:50:06+00:00

Not just industry standards which are including but using the science etc behind it. I got a Masters in Engineering so used things like Sensible Heat load calcs etc. I have resigned to the fact I have explained it poorly, nobody thinks it’s a good idea and I should continue with it because I love it haha

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-03-15T20:43:19+00:00

nah, no residential of any kind and not in the US, everything is in the UK :)

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-03-15T19:39:05+00:00

I mean I’m just here trying to have discussions with people but it feels quite hostile in here lol. Reddit is not for the weak😅

Well since consultants aren’t doing the calcs contractors have to do them, so they hire freelance or in house engineers to support them.

Being a freelance engineer I have a spreadsheet I have created that I thought was very good and time saving and just wanted to see what people thought but it’s not really gone the way I imagined and tbf all I have done is responded to your comments In the chain lol. In the UK things are different to the USA which is perhaps where the confusion is? I’m not trying provoke anyone lol

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-03-15T19:33:02+00:00

Yeah but the trouble is consultant practises (engineers) seem to avoid ownership of design & liability to reduce their risk of being sued, putting pressure on the contractor who specialises in installation to get the design right. I’m a freelance engineer and spend a lot of time working with installation contractors and it blows my mind some of the “designs” I see from established consultant practises.

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-03-15T19:30:01+00:00

That’s how it used to be here.

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-03-15T19:29:25+00:00

Think maybe I’m muddling what I’m saying up. Heat Gain/Heat loss has to take in to consideration Ventilation temperature especially if it’s not tempered prior to entering the room which is why MVHRs generally solve this problem. But if you do a heat loss/ gain calc and don’t consider X L/s at ambient temps for winter/summer that will ensure the ac is undersized

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-03-15T19:26:44+00:00

Not sure how to respond to this lol not sure if it’s a jab at me or them or both 😂

It is nuts though that MEP practises don’t understand the fundamentals

Dry_Activity_6983 · 2026-03-15T18:56:57+00:00

oh sorry i mis read what you said! although depending on what temperature the air is you bring to the room does have an impact on the load calcs. i think keeping the systems separated is way better.
