I've had the same issue the last few weeks (probably since the last Origin client update on 20th October). I have resolved it today by adding modify/write permissions for the PCNAME\Users group to the Games folder. I run as an administrator, so it should not be an issue. My theory is that...

I gave in and bought an MSI Gaming X 3090 when it appeared at the end of January at another UK retailer, for £1800. I had to RMA the 3090 within a couple of weeks, due to a very noisy fan. It was collected by the retailer and a new replacement arrived within a week, this one has been fine. I...

My 5900x order went though at 2.05pm, and my estimate was 20th and there is no sign of anything shipping. OcUK kept hanging when adding it to the cart.

Just used to form to cancel my MSI Gaming. My order went though at 2:37 yesterday, so I guess it would be a while. With Gigabyte potentially listing 20GB versions, I'll just wait for Zen 3 before I start a new PC build. I can cope with my 1080 until I decide on a GPU. I had wanted something...

That's why it would be nice to have some sort of duty cycle for them. This is what was left of what I'm almost certain was the inrush thermistor.

It was a brand new warranty replacement for an older model HX850 which was no longer working properly. It started making the pop noise after I downsized a UPS and started turning it on and off at the wall with everything else (monitors etc). It gradually got louder and more frequent with the...

I've stopped turning mine off at the wall now that I'm on my third HX. The last one, the pop became louder, then there was a spark. Then the inrush thermistor exploded. I do wonder what the cycle count expected life of the thermistor is, but Corsair didn't comment when I asked on their forum...

That will be for plugging into the modem: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13744/~/can-i-use-any-hub-or-router-with-superfast-fibre%3F

It looks like the HomeHub 3 only has an ADSL modem, it only supports infinity via PPPoE to an external modem (like the older ECI/Huawei). I suspect that the infinity cabinet doesn't like the ADSL attempts.

As above, Corsair HX850i, and it broke in June. I got it new as a warranty replacement in Nov 16, so it wasn't all that old. Unfortunately it wasn't under warranty, as the HX850 it replaced was from 2010 when the warranty was only 7 years.

My HX850i made a popping noise for a while when tuning on the plug at the socket. Then it exploded. https://i.imgur.com/SdtWiMB.jpg I believe this was the inrush thermistor. It was a very loud bang, and then it was in lots of little pieces. Computer worked after PSU replacement. The main RCD...

From what I can see, the 2018 SPP is only for Gen9 and Gen10 servers, there is a Gen8 and Gen7 post production release that seem to be separate now.

Retrofit sleeving? £17 for 2m is on the rather steep side imo.

Watched it last week and enjoyed it very much, going to see it again on Tuesday. It certainly feels like a Blade Runner film. I am somewhat mystified about why it is expected to be a blockbuster though. While it's an excellent film, and the reviews are good, it's still only a sequel to Blade...

192.168.1.120 is also the default idrac/bmc ip, you can set it to static/dhcp or turn it off. If it is the full idrac enterprise rather than express/bmc then it can be very useful.

Seems that it's supplied by Plusnet, bet it's a "stuck" adsl profile, I've had the issue a few times as the system to manage the bt/plusnet profiles appears to be rubbish.

Profile creation will add some folders to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Doesn't seem to use any (https://homeservershow.com/forums/topic/15066-comparing-the-hpe-proliant-gen10-microserver-beta-to-previous-microservers/)

I see that chrome has some ad blocking plugins, which seems to be doing a proxy request (the err_proxy_connection_failed). It might be worth removing all the chrome plugins too, 32 seconds is an interesting load time, I suspect it's 30 seconds for a connection timeout and then 2 seconds to load...

I have seen this once before, if it is actually the regulator, do *NOT* put any other CPUs in it to test. If it does fail completely, do not move the cpu to anything else. I didn't get it fixed, as it would probably need board, cpu and psu replaced. I also ended up with another dead test board...
