ok guys - thanks for the responses. Will give both memtesting & upping the voltage a mash & see what happens. Agent

Hi Guys, Wonder if you could help. Friend recently got some second hand compy parts which work fine but the chap has recently swapped out XP for Vista 64-bit and slung in another four gig of RAM (taking it upto 8) and the computer won't reboot unless you reset the CMOS every time! Just...

oohhh - Forgot to mention he plays a lot of TF2 etc etc. I will get him to reinstall windows & go from there. Thanks again guys and if we run into any more problems I'll be in touch! Regards, Agent.

I think you're right Joe. Seeing as the new "proposed" system would involve reinstalling windows in the first place it probably isn't going to be much of a loss. Do you reckon buying a HDD just for windows is avisable? Thanks all for your help chaps, as always its massively appreciated.

hmm, Was going to tell him to put his hand one it to keep it cool. Blood acts as "water cooling" and your body as one of the best passive heatsinks going? Fair point about the OEM CPU. Icey - good suggestion about clocking it a touch & slapping in a bit more ram but I don't think thats going...

Guys, Brothers current spec is; Windows XP 02 x WD, 250Gb Sata-II HDDs GeIL 2GB DDR2 4850 gfx card thingy, 512 version Intel C2D E6600 2.40GHz, Dual Core Abit Fatal1ty 650 Mobo Lian Li PC-A05B Black OCZ GameXStream 600w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply Has this for about 19...

Hey guys, Just talked with my brother about it all and he says thanks for the info so far. However a couple more questions have come up since: 1. He (read his wife) would like it to be quieter than before and he is sure it probably will be but would it be worth getting a specific case for this...

hay guys - thanks very much for the replies thus far. Really appreciate them. Guardsmon, he does indeed have a case but I am unsure as to the PSU. He does play WoW a lot but will branch out into other games, he uses MY 19" monitor (the bar***rd!) so he won't need a 1gig card which is good...

Hi Guys, 'tis me again needing yet more advice for another brother. He has an upgrade budget from 250 to 500, this would be higher but he has one of those "wife" things which has put a limiter on capital expendatures. LAIM! So, the reason for the upgrade is the machine is getting a...

Hi guys, Thank you all for your replies. Ordered a 4850 yesterday and it should have arrived today. Will be interesting to fun to go back to the old ATi days from being with nVidia for a while. Good to see there are still some of the "old-boys" kicking about, Loadsamoney for example...

Hi Guys, I'm in a bit of a tricky situation at the moment. My gfx card went POP the other day and I am in desparate need of a new one but budget is tight at the moment, student and all that.. Mobo is, funnily enough, nVidia one (A-bit to be precise), PSU is to match etc etc. The games I...

Quick update - the headset works fine on my laptop but not on my compy. Hewlp. :(

yup - tried that one and still no joy. :(

Right.. symptoms; 1) The Speed-link drivers only pop up when the headset is plugged into one USB port on my PC (on the front panel). 2) If I plug it into any others it only regonises it as a USB human interface. 3) When I try and "test hardware" in the voice section it gets half way through the...

Hay bud, Yup, its all plugged into a USB2.0 port but I am checking to make sure all of the mobo drivers are upto date etc. Will let you know the outcome. Thanks for your help. Agent.

And when I plug it in and "test harware" for the voice element it gets half way through booting and then says that there is insufficient USB bandwidth to power everything. At the moment I have my mouse, Keyboard & now this headset. Is this normal? If so what can I do to resolve the situation...

Now that would be funky!

Again, sound advice from the OcUK forumers..! Any idea as to the launch date for the GTX 280+? ta muchly, Agent.

Cool! Will have a search around. As for lag on the server side, your 100% right! The easiest way to get around it is to get someone in your fleet who is in local to petition being stuck. That normally gets the GMs attention strait away and they tend to reinforce the node... ;) However, the...

ok - interesting one.. How about a solid state HDD?
