Any decent PC help shops?

    I built my PC there yesterday and I'm confident that I've done everything correctly, it boots up and stuff, but after I installed W10 on my SSD, it doesn't recognise my HDD and doesn't connect to the internet after I put my ethernet into the port.

    Also, my motherboard is giving my memory initialisation errors aswell which I can't figure out to correct which is why I'm looking for a decent place that will help me fix the issues and not **** up the computer that I built and spent quite an amount of money on.

    Any decent places around? Maybe even ones that may even take a look at it before charging money? One place I found is by the Travelodge near UL, but can't find anyone to vouch for it. I'm doing a Computer Science degree in UL aswell so I don't want to go to any inexperienced places.

    By the sounds of it you just need to install and/or update all your drivers.

    Go into device manager to check if you're missing any drivers to start with.

    As for the drive, you'll need format it in disk manager for it to be recognised.

    Thing is, how am I able to do that without getting online to update them if the Ethernet cable isn't getting picked up by the PC.

    Normally you need to download all the drivers from the net to a USB from a different PC/laptop then loan them up on the newly built PC and install them.

    Edit: *load (stupid auto-correct)

    If you don't sort out your PC then Express PC Repair by the Kilmurry roundabout opposite the Castletroy SC is another place close to you. Billy is a sound bloke and normally will look at it first before charging you and used to do discounts for students. It's been a few years since I've had any dealings with him so not sure if he still does stuff like that.
