Yep, tried re-seating in a different PCI slot and still no signs of life unfortunately. Seems very strange that it happened exactly after the speakers were plugged in. At first I thought it may be an impedance issue but given that the speakers are rated 10k ohms and the sound card for 130 ohms I...

Hi chaps I recently bought a pair of KRK RP6 GP2 active monitors for my mini bedroom studio. Existing soundcard is an M-audio Delta 2496. I plugged the RCA cables directly into the soundcard's output (whilst they were off). Turned on the speakers and all the bars in the Delta control panel...

Hi I haven't tried changing the cable - will do that now and see if it helps. I notice that the event viewer has loads of disk errors. There are lots of "event ID 11" errors relating to a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort3. Also lots of "event ID 15" errors where \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 is...

Hello chaps People kindly helped out with my HD troubles before where the drive seemed to be clicking a lot and dying (I updated the firmware to the latest version). However, the drive (Samsung F3 1TB) seems to be struggling again. After about 30-60 mins of use Windows fails to recognise the...

Thanks for the advice. I had an old firmware model and have updated to the latest version - hopefully this will solve the problems!

Hi The motherboard is a B3 revision - not sure how to check the firmware on the HD though. I've noticed that it's starting to make some clicking noises which I'm guessing means it's doomed. Will try and find a firmware upgrade and see if that works...

Hello folks. Anyone had any issues with this drive/motherboard? Drive is a 2nd drive (1TB, most applications, music etc.) to a C300 SSD Windows 7 drive. CPU = 2500k @ 4.5 and there's 8GB of ram. Also another 2TB drive in there. In my old Core 2 machine the drive ran flawlessly. Now it's...

Thanks both - will try as suggested!

Quick question (hopefully): For various reasons I've ended up with 3 HDs in my system, a total of 7 partitions and 3 windows 7 installs... I've now done a fresh reinstall of Windows 7 on my SSD and want to format the old partitions that have old installs of Windows 7 on. Will I be ok to do...

Thanks for the advice - unfortunately neither emptying the trash or the command to make programmes let go of the data seem to have solved the issue. Ideally I'd rather not format as I've sold it as having the operating system on and although I've got the CDs still I've never installed this type...

That sounds like a good idea but I can't find it anywhere - any pointers? Cheers

Hello all I'm afraid I'm entirely new to Linux so please bare with me if this question is horribly noobish. I recently bought an Asus EEE PC that had an 8GB SSD - think it's the 701. The operating system is Linux easypeasy edition. I only purchased the system to have a portable music...

Well if it was we wouldn't have much use for copyright lawyers now would we... Anyway I was mainly being facetious but for instance under English law you don't lose your moral rights when you assign rights. So that's one slight twist on your statement. Then there's the fact that the work you...

Except that it isn't as simple as that...

If you're willing to let the loan default and go through the courts then you could claim a share of your liability to the bank. You'll be jointly and severally liable which means the bank can pursue whoever it wants for 100% of the outstanding debt but you can claim an equal share from her. If...

No but I am an English solicitor so perhaps better placed than Judge Judy to make a call on this one :p It's not about what may be objectively more reasonable, it's about what the evidence shows, on the balance of probabilities. If someone gives you the money, makes no written record of such...

Are you sure about that? In what way is it not a gift? If it isn't a gift, then what is it? Without knowing the facts in full but on the basis of the information we've been provided with it sounds very much like a gift. You have no legal obligation to repay him and given his behaviour I'd...

Nevermind, I was being stupid - had to go into "manage" to allocate the space. Now it has drive letters assigned and is formatted. :facepalm:

Hello all I've just plugged a Crucial C300 SSD into my system (motherboard is a gigabyte ga-g33m-ds2r) and although the BIOS can recognise it, when I boot into Windows 7 64-bit (from my main 1TB drive) Windows can't see the drive at all. Any ideas?

I've been to the Hyde Park one ("Winter Wonderland" or something?) for the last couple of years and it's rubbish. Don't get me wrong, it's good fun to wander round but it's all horrible tat and pretty small. Better one on Southbank but still pretty shabby.
