    PSU went pop.....need new one

    I installed the new PSU and all up and running - thankfully no damage to components/data. I've noticed that the old power lead is not working. Could it have been just the power lead dying and would that have caused the loud bang sound? Any ideas?

    PSU went pop.....need new one

    Quick question. Will I be able to use the same cables on the new Seasonic PSU or is it best to use the new ones? It will save me time/effort if I can.

    PSU went pop.....need new one

    :) It was a Seasonic P-760 SS-760XP2 - an older model. I'm thinking of getting the Seasonic Vertex 850 - hopefully it's going to last a long time.

    PSU went pop.....need new one

    Hi, My PSU (Seasonic 760) went pop today (scared the life out of me) and I need a new one. I checked it was 10 years old. Please can you recommend one to me? If I can future proof then that is better. Budget: £150-£250. Ryzen 3900x (not overclocked). Gigabyte Ultra x570 motherboard. AMD...

    Help me choose a graphics card upgrade AMD/NVIDIA.

    If I go to that price then the above cards start to look a better option - 6700 XT. I've bought the Powercolor for £335 elsewhere - which hopefully is a good price/performance.

    Is the powercolor a good brand? Quite and good cooling?

    Help me choose a graphics card upgrade AMD/NVIDIA.

    Hi, I'm looking at upgrading my graphics card as I have a drivers issue with my nvidia 1070. Going to latest driver freezes my PC after locking it and trying to log back in (randomly), and Win 10 (again randomly) decides to upgrade my drivers and I have to fight to go back. This is my work PC...

    PC freezing event after new windows install

    I DEV on my machine and setting up all the environment each time is cumbersome and can take a while. So shutting down is not an option.

    PC freezing event after new windows install

    I'm only seeing this in the logs which is due to me doing a hard reset/shutdown. The previous system shutdown at 07:44:10 on ‎24/‎11/‎2021 was unexpected. Also, this but I think it's related to the above. The previous session did not finalize the tracking file on device \Device\HarddiskVolume3...

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    FXPO are doing well at the moment. I've dipped in and out of this in the past and made some small profits. I purchased again recently and profits are up with the good update recently. Going to hold for now. You never know though, especially with mining companies.

    Trading the stockmarket (NO Referrals)

    I've been trying to find an alternative to advfn. Don't like their cluttered website and the fact you cannot cancel on website but must do via post. But I do really like the realtime stock monitor. I've looked at alternatives and nothing has come close so far. Anyone recommend me something?
