He has to use the BT open reach VPN for work. Other VPN's do work, but he has to be logged in to BTs VPN which Virgin won't allow?

Afternoon, A friend of mine is having issues accessing his work VPN using Virgin internet. He works for EE and the VPN it's self is BT's open reach. Apparently Virgin media block as standard. He's having to work from his mothers house to access the internet. Is there anyway around this with...

https://i.imgur.com/tFKZWJJ.jpg Hi my friend recently bought a pre-build, but the Intel I7 9700F is running quite hot, I do believe it to be on a stock fan but even still 82 degrees and even hitting 100 degrees. I assume that's not normal? Sorry it's been a while since I've been involved in...

I need a lot of help :( I need to restrict (remove entirely) gambling website access from two laptops and if possible two iphones also. What are my best options? is a new router with better restrictive options the best move? software and if so which? I'm not entirely sure where to begin.

Looking for two laptops, no more than about £300. I know I won't get anything that blows the doors off for that but I would like it to run a few lower end steam games, platform games, maybe ori the blind forest and child of light, those sort of games. Any ideas? I'm really lost when it...

Do electricity smart meters interfere with power line networking? Just had some installed yesterday and my internet has hit a brick wall on my PC but is working fine on wireless devices.

If this is not the ideal location for this I apologise. Basically a friend would like a PC for photo editing and storage to compliment his new Nikon DSLR. Are any of the pre build systems on overclockers ideally suited to the task? the cheaper the better. If not, what is it you look for...

I've only every put together quite high end systems so my overall knowledge of specs is pretty low. What I'm after is something good enough to play steam games such as Bastion, Plants V Zombies, Faster than Light, Rayman, Child of Light. Maybe Minecraft. The usual sort of side scrolling...

I have some interest in putting together a machine to run STEAM big picture on my living room TV. Something that has enough kick to play the small indie games that spring up on steam, i'm not looking to play battlefield 4 on this, think kids type indie games, Bastion, Faster than light...

http://www.zen.co.uk/userfiles/documents/shared/broadband/hardware/technicolor-tg582n.pdf is the above router getting the most from Zen's Unlimited Fibre 2 package which is 76 down and 19 up. Reading the above link it sounds like the ethernet ports are 100/10 so isn't that router...

I haven't overclocked, i'm just running everything at stock at the moment. I'll have a little deeper look at it when I get home from work tonight. I hope it is just software as I'd hate to try and replace hardware bought less than a week ago :( thanks for the reply

Is a blue screen of death always an sign that there is a hardware fault within the system or can it just be windows throwing a fit? Its a new build and I've only had 1 but it does come after only a days use. It happened when waking out of sleep mode. Thanks, Majik

Is the Haswel refresh really worth waiting for? for my price point would I be looking at a processor that is a major improvement over what's currently on offer?

I have a budget of £1,000.00 for a tower only. Looking to game on things like Diablo III, Dota2 and possibly have the computer resources to stream also? I'd like a SSD I prefer Nvidia cards but if a strong case can be made for ATI i'd go with it. I have no preference between Intel...

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-027-OG That's the build. I've not built a new computer in a few years and currently I've been too busy with work to keep informed of the advancements in computing. I'm looking to play games such as Dota2, Diablo3, CSGO and have the...

Thanks again. I'm going to check in tomorrow hopefully with some more relevent information and then I can get this computer on the road to recovery with a few upgrades.

Cheers man, I'm not 100% on what her specs are. It was built by a friend of the family. I'll take a look for HDTune and give that a whirl tomorrow night, as well as jotting down specs. I was going to install everest home edition to get specs but honestly it blue screens so quick I doubt I'd...
