    upgrade from i5 2500k?

    As others have stated, more ram and a new GPU would yield much better results; the CPU is still very good for gaming.

    Problem with PC getting no signal from monitor after sleep.

    There's still a current of electricity running through, which is why it's stuck in sleep mode as the data is stored in your RAM. Remove the PSU plug from the wall, and hold down the power on the desktop for 30 seconds to draw all the power out. Then plug it in and turn it on, and it'll work.

    Please Help - PC Randomly Restarting

    It could be: RAM or CPU or Power supply. You can check RAM with Window's 8, Memory Diagnostic tool. for CPU: Try running prime 95 and see if it shuts down imminently, that'll be good indicator if your CPU temps are going to high. Maybe download Real Temp too and see your CPU temps. You also...

    pc problems

    Something could be conflicting with explorer.exe which is causing it crash like a UI. Try creating a new account. Either way it's a software issue and not hardware. You could try: run>msconfig> and tick 'diagnostic start up' and see if the symptoms persist OR create a new user account and check it.

    Unity C# problem

    It can't parse the object, you need to instantiate the instance variable 'jumpForce'. Your miss-use of brackets will also generate a compile/runtime error. private Vector2 jumpForce = new Vector2(0, 300); //change 0,300 to desired value(s). Class x { //Within the class...

    Is my Graphics card dead?

    Hi, I have the Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 OC Windforce 2X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card. Basically I tried connecting a HDMI splitter to my graphics card whilst the machine was still on, my computer crashed and then the screen went black. I restarted it and there was no signal on...

    iPhone 5 worth it from 4S

    No it doesn't lol, read my sentence carefully.. there was a hint... 'practical difference'. The differences above are minor as already stated, if you read it properly. And you're main point wasn't missed as I quite clearly stated: 'but buying into iphone 5 on the basis of fear of depreciation...

    iPhone 5 worth it from 4S

    The 4s CPU and camera is very adequate, never have I thought 'If only it was faster I could do this...' The iPhone 5 camera is suppose to better in low-light, and be faster at snapping pictures like a SLR; I could tell no difference personally in terms of quality, as the IPS screen has such high...

    iPhone 5 worth it from 4S

    Yeah it still amazes me how people feel the need to upgrade for the sake of it (addiction - serotonin released from having a 'shiny new toy'? conforming to society? The obligation to assert status through possessions?) , you can imagine this philosophy in practice; corporations like Apple are...

    iPhone 5 worth it from 4S

    The only practical difference? Aesthetics. Upgrading from the 4S to the 5 is just buying into the capitalist scheme for NO real-world difference. 1/2" of more screen size is no justification for upgrading. Sure it's lighter but I quite like the weight of the 4s; it feels solid. Everyone has...

    Not impressed at all!

    Get a refund mate, I believe they have a 14-day money back return policy. I bought the M17 and the lights on the alienhead went faulty. You need to ring them and they bring a courier round to collect it. Desktop's are the way foward the m17 weigh's a ton so It's not exactly a laptop lol.

    Ive gone bold.

    Games will never need an i7 to be able to run. The i5 3770k can always be over clocked if you need the extra juice. Until HT usage / Quad cores are mainstream for gaming which I can imagine won't be until a very long time, the dual core will always suffice.

    Gaming Monitor - What Size?

    Depends how close you are to your desk, if like me the monitor is within arms reach of you then I'd suggest a 24" monitor. I've tried 27" and it strains my eyes because the picture is too big relative to distance from me to the monitor.

    The sanyo AA rechargable's are the best; they hold up to 85% after 12 months. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sanyo-Eneloop-Pack-Batteries-2000mAh/dp/B000IDUOQO/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1336158514&sr=1-2 Vapextech are supposedly really good too...

    Value of existing laptop HDD and worth upgrading to SSD?

    You'll need a OEM Windows CD to reinstall windows on a new hard-drive. (Dell sent me one for £19). I have the Dell XPS 17, and I bought the Corsair M4 64GB SSD. I used my 640GB HDD in my other slot as the xps has 2 hdd slots and my ssd in the primary slot for OS. It's very easy to install...

    Incorrect, you only get 1 year warranty or that prospect would defeat the purpose of insurance. I work in retail.

    iPad 2: Why?

    This. I bought the iPad a few days ago at tesco. I did the interest free 6 months. The iPad is amazing! It's a lot better and useful then most people think. I bought it primarily for videos, but there's so much more you can do with it. Such as emails, browsing on the Internet, listening to...
