    The Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Owners Thread.

    Thanks! I've posted the steps I followed here: https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/bsod-during-20-11-2-and-20-12-1-install-rx5500xt/m-p/431270/highlight/false#M135749, which also includes a link to someone else's much simpler solution that may also work. Might be useful in case you...

    The Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Owners Thread.

    Interestingly, I decided to install the latest optional driver for the 6800 just now and the install went fine. No sign of a BSOD of any kind. Yet, when I've tried installing it on a clean build with no previous AMD drivers installed, it was impossible to complete the install without a BSOD...

    The Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Owners Thread.

    I haven't seen other devices installing drivers following a reboot, only the attempt by windows to recover to a working state prior to the AMD driver installation. How do you notice this taking place? Are you jumping into device manager and seeing a long list of unknown PCI devices, followed...

    The Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Owners Thread.

    After battling with unrecoverable BSODs (WHEA Uncorrectable Errors) during driver installs and an inability to shutdown without pulling the power, I appear to have finally got my new 6800 behaving. It's taken about 15 hours of trial and error, including what I imagine is 25+ clean windows...

    Buying a house to let out?

    Check the terms of any mortgage contract and see what it says. Which property would you declare to the council as your primary residence? You can receive income free of tax for renting out a room up to a given threshold: https://www.gov.uk/rent-room-in-your-home/the-rent-a-room-scheme.

    So will the UK house prices ever come down ?

    Developments don't have to build affordable housing if they opt to pay the levy. Even when they opt to build affordable housing, they should really classify it as "slightly less extortionate priced housing" as opposed to using the "affordable" tag. :p Shared Ownership is not a solution to...

    So will the UK house prices ever come down ?

    That's not entirely true. Whilst London is obviously very densely populated, outside of the M25 you'll find its not crowded at all. In fact, compare it to the conurbations in and around Manchester and you'll find the situation isn't an awful lot different. This night time map of the UK shows...

    So will the UK house prices ever come down ?

    That's what so frustrating about the whole situation. There is absolutely no need for a shift in quality of life if policies around planning/financing weren't so heavily favoured to those who currently hold the housing/land stock. Housing can and should be cheap. Then again, it doesn't help...

    So will the UK house prices ever come down ?

    The next time you pop in a shop to purchase your groceries, order a pint at the bar or get resuscitated by the paramedic, maybe you should tell them to move because only the good and great can afford to buy property near you?

    So will the UK house prices ever come down ?

    Yes, a pizza from Dominos once a month is really what stops people from being able to purchase a family home in London. Absolute trash. Explain to me how a single income family with an average job (teacher, nurse etc.) can afford a family home in London? So you want something for...

    *Transfer Window 2014/15 Season Rumours/Signings *AKA Man U fans listing every player under the Sun

    I assume you're aware Di Maria played as part of a midfield three alongside Alonso and Modric? Alonso scored 0 in the league, whilst Modric scored 1. Real Madrid are simply not tactically set-up to encourage their midfield three to score goals, so any comparison to Reus who plays in a...

    I care... ... it's Nott'm Forest, not Notts Forest. :p In all seriousness, he was a useful utility player but not quite at the level we need if we're serious about pushing for promotion. Hope you've got some useful target men to take advantage of his throw.
