Did anyone find the cause of this problem? I'm currently having the same problem and it's annoying the hell out of me!

No one have any idea what this could be? It's really really annoying!

Yeah its been there since I set the laptop up with the monitor.

I have a strange band at the top of my laptop screen, I've attached a screenshot: image host It's since I've started using an external monitor, and it goes when I open up full screen programs, its just when I have windows minimised that it shows up. Any ideas what it is? Laptop spec is Sony...

Already done Already done Already done Already done This is something I really can't figure out, I know my way around a computer system so tried all the usual stuff, formatted and clean install, installed all the drivers myself so didn't get all the generic manufacturer crap that comes...

I'm querying that at the moment... it's a company laptop so I have to go through the proper authorities (I threatened to throw it out the window so hopefully that should speed things up) Bought from Misco

Hi all, I've just got this new Samsung laptop (Samsung 4 Series NP-400B5B-S02UK) and I must say I'm extremely disappointed with it. As soon as I got it out the box I've had issues with it, it runs VERY slow some of the time. I usually run chrome, outlook, photoshop cs5.5 and adobe bridge at...

Right yeah that all makes sense. Cheers for the help, will check out that link and weigh up how much I actually need an optical drive compared with the convenience of extra HD space. Might just get an external HD and save all the hassle. Thanks again.

Hi there, I've just got a new sony z-series laptop with dual SSD in raid, only problem is it only amounts to 120GB of space. Does anyone know if its possible to fit another SSD in there, as it is advertised as supporting quad SSD, and if so how would I go about it (would it be possible from...

Hi there, I've just got a new system, with the motherboard above, 920 i7 2.66ghz, and 6gig Corsair XMS3 PC3-12800C9. Now I've done some overclocking with some older boards in the past, but haven't really looked at it for a while. With this new board im a little lost in the bois to find some...

Ok cheers I'll give it a go.

Hi all, I wasn't quite sure where this topic should go so I thought it'd be easiest posting it here. I've just built a new system (i7, 6gig RAM, good mobo + gfx) and installed Windows 7 on a new HD. Now I was wondering if it would be possible to plug my existing HD with Vista installed on...

Hi there, I'm looking for some help with a new design/build I will be undertaking. First of all let me explain my situation: I'm currently studying Product Design and Technology at Loughborough University, having just come into my final year I needed to choose a direction for my final year...

Well yeah it just seems really slow when opening new programs, loading etc. Lags in games quite a lot, even more than my laptop! Couldn't be Vista Ultimate 64bit slowing things down could it? I've heard it is pretty ****e!

My pc has been starting to run a little slow recently so I was just wondering what would be the best component to upgrade to see the best performance increase. Specs atm: Core2Duo 2.5ghz @ 3.0ghz Asus P5Q-VM Intel G45 Micro-ATX MB 4gig OCZ 800mhz RAM 9800GTX 512MB nVidia GPU I was...

I've been looking around for a laptop and noticed that a few have an option for 6gigs of ram, one stick of 2gig and one of 4gig. Now im not quite sure how ram works anymore because I havnt been in the loop for quite a while, but for dual channel to work properly dont the two sticks need to be...

Just wondering what people's views were on this case? I know its bigger than the Sugo but this gives space for more cooling etc. Havnt been on the market for SSF's for a while so im not too sure whats going on but planning on a complete upgrade sometime soon. Im running a 939 X2 4400+, 2gig OCZ...

Ok thanks for the replies, was thinking along the same lines. Having abit of an increase at first but then a lot when i get a duo under the hood! cheers guys.

Hi there, I've recently ordered a new 9800 GTX card and just wondering if this card will be hindered at all by my current PC (going to be upgraded soon)? im running a S939 X2 4400+ running at 2.4GHz, 2GB OCZ RAM and a 7900 GTX atm, will I see a big increase in graphics performance with this new...
