So due to some technical difficulties with a dying desktop system, I'm currently using my sister's laptop hooked up to my monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse. It's been working fine for the last week, but as of today it's decided to disconnect from the internet when the laptop lid is closed...

So I'm currently looking to replace a dead CPU, but I'm not sure which avenue to go down. I can get a like for like replacement and pitch in for another https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-336-AM&groupid=701&catid=1967[/URL]"]FX8350, or I can pick up the notably cheaper...

Only drink bottled water, and only from a bottle with an unbroken seal. Once you've finished, crush the bottle. A lot of vendors will refill water bottles from municipal supplies and sell it as cleaner stuff. Be wary of juices, especially in restaurants - it's often watered down with local...

I've never had any free games from GoG :(. Bought loads of stuff from them too.

I dunno. Feels weird, plugging in those high spec components to a micro-ATX motherboard I bought for £40 two years ago...

It's a Gigabyte H61MA-D3V Intel H61 - real budget model. I suspect it needs replacing. Edit: by dropping the CPU cooler, I could get the 8350 instead of the 8320. What's the opinion on that?

It's an i3 2100 from about 2 years ago, what would that change? The 8320 is retail, I'd be fine running stock speed for a bit and worrying about an OC later wouldn't I? Then I could save on the cooler.

Power supply is an OCZ zs 80+ 750W, if that changes anything.

Case is a coolermaster cm-690 I think, not sure but it's full size. Not too sure on the psu.

Hey folks, looking for advice on a full core upgrade for my lagging i3 system. As per title, I need a processor, motherboard and RAM for around £350. I'm happy to run stock for a while so retail CPU cooler will do me fine, but if any of the bundles are worth a look then do say. I don't mind...

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I haven't heard since this morning, but I'll pass on the advice tonight.

I wonder if anyone can help me – I know nothing about the legality of buying houses. My partner’s mum has been buying a house in Wales with her partner, however they’ve just had a huge falling out and he’s no longer moving in. Without him, she can’t afford the house. The keys change hands on...

This, unbunch your panties and chill for a bit

Thanks, that's a relief. Just a shame they don't do them in packs of three at OcUK, would like to get my desktop off the wireless network too... never mind. Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone's used a powerline adapter or something similar to hook up an Xbox to a home network. Something like the TP-Link AV200 200Mbps Mini Powerline Starter Kit Ver:3.0, for example. Any other cheap and easy solutions that'll help avoid shelling out £60 on a Microsoft-branded...

Sorry, but baldness isn't anywhere near as bad as a dodgy haircut. You've not got a leg to stand on. Make a joke about schtupping his wife instead.

No, allow it. Also allow texting while crossing the street and give free access to steep cliffs, railway lines and hard drugs. Should weed out a few of the genetic stragglers who could improve things all around by not reproducing. Let's get a little chlorine in this gene pool from time to time.

Hey folks, she's really not sure what gear she has. I know it's an AMD processor and that she got some Crucial Ballistix 12800 RAM last year (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-132-CR - strangely, 31.19 in January last year and now £50 before discount :/). Updating her ATI...

Hey folks, having a few issues with the gf/s computer. It's been randomly not going to POST on start-up, and when it does boot up it occasionally BSODs on random tasks - opening documents, web browser and so forth. I've done a bit of hunting and unearthed how to read the dump files, but as to...
