    Get your Wallets Ready - Steam Sale Dates this Winter

    I got it for £5 just after release, and it's definitely worth it just for the opportunity to be chased and mauled by a Komodo dragon!

    Still having issues booting my desktop!

    Right I've reset the CMOS. No effect. Switched the CMOS battery: no effect. I've tried all my ram sticks (four) individually. System booted fine with each. Tested in pairs. A couple of combinations led to the machine not booting. When I retested them, the machine booted just fine. Very...

    Still having issues booting my desktop!

    Anyone? I've found a spare HDD, formatted it, and installed my OS on that. Updated it smoothly, and powered it down. When I powered it up, the same problem again. So now I'm at a bit of a loss.

    Still having issues booting my desktop!

    To follow on from this, I've swapped PSUs, and I'm still having the same problem. It isn't my GPU (swapped that out). Nor my wireless card (switched to a dongle) Need to double check memory sticks, swap out CMOS battery, and also use the power button on my mobo to ensure my case power...

    Any definite ways to check my PSU is broken?

    Guess I'll give that a shot! I think someone I know has a multireader, I could use that to check the voltages are correct right? I did have a spare PSU...and sold it two months ago. Just my luck. If it's mobo I'll cry.

    Any definite ways to check my PSU is broken?

    System specs: Q6700@stock 4GB DDR2 ATi 5770 Gigabyte ep45 motherboard OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular All parts four years old. My desktop is having huge problems turning on. In summary: 1) Switch on, odd fan noise. 2) No signal through to my TV, and seconds later, the machine...

    PS3 & GTA. Best price, high street?

    Comes with the Last of Us too IIRC. Slap on next day delivery and you still have yourself a great bundle for the money.

    What are YOU currently playing?

    Currently playing through FFXII for the first time. I tried the game two years ago when I purchased it, but it looked a right aliased mess on my TV, even through component cables. Now it's on PCSX2 (so technically PC gaming), it's actually a very visually strong game. The speed at which the game...

    Securing a graduate job is just ridiculous

    I'd start looking from next month. It varies by profession, but many grad schemes open in August/September. In fact one of the big four accountancy firms is already open for next year IIRC.

    Securing a graduate job is just ridiculous

    Yep, a guy on my course did a placement year at Moran Stanley and earned himself £30k.

    Securing a graduate job is just ridiculous

    Have a look temping/recruitment agencies for part time work. I'm currently signing up to them, with the hope that they can reduce the hours I put into searching for that kind of work. Some of the job adverts are at times hilarious though. A cleaner job I saw wanted experienced applicants...

    Securing a graduate job is just ridiculous

    OP I'm also a recently graduated Economics student. Despite getting a first from a top 10 university, I've got to say my chances of securing a graduate scheme/job are pretty slim. Firstly, my general work experience is pretty limited (due to laziness on my part pre uni which I'm kicking myself...

    Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster

    Surely you mean 13, not 12? :p I got 20 hours into 13, the point when the game finally opens up slightly, and lost interest. Go figure. Very much looking forward to this collection, firstly because I get to replay X with the additional content (and experience so many feels at the ending)...

    New Handheld advise

    Whilst I wouldn't recommend a Vita right now (because outside of some decent exclusives, most of its 'library' is made up of PS2/PS1 ports), if you are determined to get one then I suggest holding off until the Gamescom Expo next month. There have been rumours Sony is going to announce a lot of...

    **XBOX ONE** Official Thread

    Titan isn't a true exclusive- it's getting a PC release too. Infamous is going to be Q1 2014. Also consider what the other MS/Sony teams will be delivering in the future. For instance Naughty Dog, or when The Last Guardian finally arrives if considering the PS4. Likewise think about what other...

    ***The Official OcUK Lego Thread***

    Heh, I walk past that box every time I go in there wondering when someone will snap it up :p

    Lovely ladies

    The Daily Mail has one of these articles every year. The paper seems to have an issue with Liverpool, and so focus on the munters and ones who think looking like a drag queen works. I'm sick of women in Liverpool having the exact same style as the two on the right- massive blonde...

    SimCity buy or no buy?

    From the looks of things it's a village Sim. The city lots are tiny in comparison to SC4.
