Well I went with a new one anyway just to be on the safe side. Thanks for the advice all!

Thanks! The PSU is a Corsair HX620w so it's coming up for a decade old now. It's been pretty faultless though, I don't know what the lifetime is on those kind of things?

Hi all, My venerable old system is getting a bit long in the tooth now and I've finally decided to give it a spruce up. My budget is about £600-700 for cpu, mobo, ram, gpu + a little bit more storage. My heaviest usage is gaming at 1080p, I don't do any video processing or other intensive tasks...

Hi all, After a long time away from the hardware side of things, I've decided to upgrade my machine with a new CPU, mobo, RAM, and GPU. A few months ago I was starting to think about it, and that's when all the articles and previews about the 3300X were coming out. Without exception all of them...

Ok thanks all! There seemed to be some panicked people when I googled; I'll consider myself reassured.

Hi all, For a few weeks I've been struggling to diagnose an issue with very stuttery games, which I first attributed to a driver problem and then went through a number of possible solutions which didn't work. Eventually (and I don't know why I didn't look at this before) I checked the CPU...

25. Ones since I've been alive, plus a few of the old famous ones and Clement Attlee, cos he's awesome.

I preferred the Science. But I'd agree, do both :)

I'm going to this! Eeeeee. First ever GP, cannot wait. Unfortunately I had to work a bit tomorrow so I'm only going Saturday and Sunday, but it'll still be awesome. Any tips for a first-timer?

I thought it was brilliant. Not really familiar with some of the shows but found it funny anyway - the panel show bit was awesome. Need more Harry and Paul on TV if they can keep doing stuff like this.

Skunny Kart, for some reason

Hi all, My computer at the moment contains within it an overclocked bundle (RAM, CPU and mobo) from Ocuk I bought a while ago. Obviously the overclocking was done by Ocuk as I don't know enough about it. I'd like to double the RAM from the current 4gb (2x2gb) that's in there. My question...

A councillor, more than just a member. The headline would have been exactly the same if it had been a Labour councillor (except, obviously, it would have said Labour).

Wekiwa Springs. Take a kayak down the river, see some 'gators. One of the unexpected highlights when I went last time. edit - also, why the Disney/Universal hate? Nobody goes to FL for the culture. They're just jolly good fun.

The only bit that confused me was why he was trying to break into that Serbian base where Mycroft picked him up. Was that ever explained?

Best broadcaster in the world. Stuff like Top Gear shows the value - they couldn't make it work in America because they couldn't criticise their advertisers' cars. It gets international respect, and you'd miss it if it were gone. It and the NHS are the two things I don't want politicans to even...

There are two types of offence: 'Making' and 'Possession'. Possession is the greater offence, and refers to you having files essentially in your possession. That means 'live' files, or files you can get at - stuff that's in your My Pictures folder, or Downloads etc. It also includes internet...

The first film wasn't terrific but it wasn't terrible either. I don't think I've laughed so much at Will's dancing across the dancefloor in the nightclub. I'll certainly be watching a second.

Yeah Level 2 isn't much harder than Level 1, a bit more work maybe but it's not difficult. Level 3 is a bit harder, but for me the hardest thing was the final project I had to do. You're given very little guidance or information, and just left to get on with a project. You do get help along the...

Luther is just the best thing on telly at the moment. What have we seen the vigilante guy in before? He looks very familiar, although admittedly it could be because he looks like David Gray. Edit - never mind, his name's Elliot Cowan and for me anyway it was Marchlands
