    Advice on Ryzen Motherboards for the 3700x

    I am hoping to build a small machine using Mini ARX or Micro ITX but there is a dearth of the latest motherboards for the Ryzen 300 series. Can I use a B450 board with the 3700x - maybe by an upgrade to the board's software?

    Wireless Gaming Headset

    I have been using a Logitech wireless headset for quite a while now but the batteries are now starting to fail too soon so am looking for a new headset. I like the wireless sort as I can listen when moving about - in the kitchen for example. Advertising from Creative suggested these from...

    Asus aftercare, PB278Q replacement monitor is such a joke its untrue!

    You should really point Asus to this thread, I am among others who now won't look at Asus monitors based on your experiences. They need to see that upping their game and honouring the warranty makes sense in terms of recovering lost sales. By the sound of it, though, Asus aren't interested, though

    OK, here's the Ipconfig for the Samsung that can't get Internet and here's the same for my machine that can.

    .Samsung Laptop - Sees our network but cannot see the Internet

    This is extremely off (to me at least). My wife's laptop connects nicely, by WiFi, to our LAN and can log into any other machine on the LAN. Yet the laptop refuses to connect to the Internet and the trouble shooter claims a problem with the router. Plug in a network cable, though, and the the...

    Windows 10

    Isn't it more about getting everyone on the same platform to reduce the horrendous amount of work involved in supporting older versions some of which are hard to patch to up to date security standards? All that effort can be channelled into on version and make it safer.

    I'm not doing that well with battery life with Android M. Is it hard to install a different ROM?

    *** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

    I've got marshmallow now too. I have turned on battery saving as it has used over 40% in the first 5 hours of use. I'm hoping this will make it last better. I'll report back tomorrow.

    Windows 10

    You could do a reset of the machine - (settings app/update& security/ Recovery) which re-installs Windows whilst leaving your data intact. I would try starting a new account on the machine and see if that one works properly first.

    The Official OMG I DIDN'T Got Haribo Thread!

    It would be nice to know what the basis of issue for the Haribo is. It seems that some lower value orders get Haribo and bigger orders sometimes don't.

    Yikes! That sounds bad. Maybe I'm lucky not having got the update yet!

    *** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

    Great stuff. My Nexus 5 is down to critical by 1800 or so and needs a charge before bedtime! Hope I get the upgrade soon!

    The Official OMG I DIDN'T Got Haribo Thread!

    Same here. Only got a giant mouse mat but I rarely get the Haribo in with my orders. Looks like I'll have to buy my own!

    Multiple sclerosis (MS)

    Diagnosed in 1983 and wheelchair bound after 6 more weeks. My main problem at that time, apart from mobility, was fatigue and it was that which made me retire from work 6 years later. The fatigue I got was completely overwhelming so eventually made work impossible. Since retiring, I am able to...

    Broken .msi installer

    Well tried everything and eventually reinstalled Windows 7 and then upgraded to 10 and it all works now. It wasn't ideal but not being able to install .msi files is quite serious.

    Broken .msi installer

    My copy of Windows 7 stopped allowing .msi files to install a while ago. I got the message Given I have been trying to install the BBC Iplayer app, for example, it seems that this is not the .msi package but the computer that is causing problems. I upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday and...
