All good stuff guys thank you, was looking around and thinking I may have to push it to around the £80 mark

To be honest if a suitable replacement costs too much I'll probably junk the whole system and go games console, I cant afford to upgrade the whole thing at this stage of life. My motherboard is PCIe 2.0 iirc, no idea if I can even get hold of a replacement

Hi guys, As you can see I have an ancient system but the graphics card is almost permanently showing a critical core power fault (LED). Underclocking doesnt fix this issue. I'm looking for a dirt cheap replacement and have been looking at an R7 240 2048 MB card, would this be a good...

Is this just a beta still?

Thank you :thup:

One other question, given my history with updates, would it be better to grap both sp's as standalone?

Thanks for the advice, I'll bite the bullet and give a fresh install a go :)

possibly, I'm on OEM, i have a feeling I either have run out of installations or am close to it... Tbh I would really like to avoid a fresh install if I can help it.

No, its not the PC, it runs like a dream as is, if I try to update it simply wont have it. One of the updates causes a reboot loop. No idea which one. EDIT: SP1 is installed, I have 112 updates waiting. very annoying. Also sp2 readiness tool will not run.

I'm also on Vista, due to the updates issue I can't install sp2 and its got to the point where I've had to turn updates off, otherwise I get the reboot loop. Seriously, would getting win 7 be worthwhile? it would be nice to actually have a nice fully updated safe PC.

Anyone?

Hi, A llllooonnnggg time ago I had to turn automatic updates off, due to getting the 'Stage 3 of 3' reboot loop hell, thinking microsoft actually may have sorted this out by now I tried to update windows yesterday. Hello boot loop! the problem is I have 98 (!) updates waiting to go...

Does anyonre know if this will fit onto my Mobo?

The blob method is wrong for that chip, its supposed to be a thin line.

problem there, i don't do MSN:(

I'm wondering the same thing, i got my 4870 on the 16th July, would that qualify? I can supply an order number :)

Bit annoying, I got one of the codes after I brought A 4870 about a month ago, I could have saved £17 dammit:mad::(

No problems for me, I'm on the official 8.7's. Vista 64 bit, sp1.

Sorry op, one question, your HND, which course is that if you don't mind me asking?

+1 A certain amount of untidiness I can handle, that is just pure filth. Kill whole garden and house with fire tbh.
