    Super strange issues troubleshooting PC

    First up my relevant specs PSU - Corsair HX850 GPU - EVGA GTX1070 Mobo - Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 RAM - 4x8GB So I rebooted the other week (I don't reboot often, usually uptime is many months), and PC didn't want to come back online. It would hang on the BIOS logo, wait about 5 mins then either...

    On the fence, Ryzen 1700, or i7 7700k, not overclocking

    So I'm really on the fence between Ryzen and i7 for my next build. Looking at the 1700, and the 7700k. Its mostly for gaming (PUBG, Rocket League, Overwatch, maybe Fortnite etc). However I'm a software developer (mostly web), so will have various IDE's, GIT / db clients open etc. Also its...

    Jira alternative?

    https://www.scrumi.io is really good as a Jira alternative. Strong scrum values, without the clunky / non intuitive UI / UX. Currently not fully launched, but they are accepting early adopters. UK based and really friendly

    Sky box broken, they wont replace for free

    I think they tried to sell the mrs some multi room thing, which may have been Q. apparently they are ringing me back this evening. Thanks for tips, I will let you all know, definitely prepared to just ditch it though so have got nothing to lose :) £hundreds per year just for F1 does seem silly

    Sky box broken, they wont replace for free

    Yeah i guess, but always the rigmarole, never have I dealt with Sky and been left satisfied, or without a bad taste in my mouth afterwards

    Sky box broken, they wont replace for free

    So have had sky+HD for a while now, probably 5-6 years. I barely watch it apart from the F1 tbh, but the mrs likes a few shows. The sky box itself recently has started freezing up, the planner is corrupt (rebuilding doesnt help), rewind etc doesn't work as HDD mode is disabled, and just...

    Mounting a 40" LED (8kg) above 22" screens. Not on wall

    Haha, ok maybe I didn't word it clearly enough. I know the standing desk is better, I meant how do I mount the 40" to the DESK above my normal screens? As the standing desk moves vertically up and down, I need it attached to the desk, not the wall ;)

    Mounting a 40" LED (8kg) above 22" screens. Not on wall

    Yo So I have 2* 22" screens and a 40" LED. I was considering mounting the 40" on the wall behind my desk. However I am considering getting a standing desk, so wall mounting would be pretty pointless as it would then obscure the screen when in standing mode. Looking for some kind of desk...

    My 580GTX just died, which replacement, £150 ish?

    exactly, however if it dies in 2 years, a 3 year warranty would come in handy ;) at the end of the day, as long as the 960 is equal or better than the 580 I will be happy, however if its going to weigh in below what I had previously then might have to rethink

    My 580GTX just died, which replacement, £150 ish?

    hmmm not sure on B grade, especially with the warranty only 90 days, the fact that its reduced by more than 50% must mean its pre-used this pc is 5 years old now, so the rest of it isn't exactly settings things on fire with its speed anymore. would rather get something so its working long...

    My 580GTX just died, which replacement, £150 ish?

    Had my 580GTX since it came out, I guess 5 years ish. Just died a magnificent death with artefacts and garbled stuff all over the screen. Tried re-seating it, in another slot, etc, and even the bios looks a mess :( Was only playing minecraft with my son! Anyways I yoinked the cheap Nvidia...

    Android, both Skype and Hangout videos go quiet after short interval

    Trying to skype or hangout with the kids and my parents on their Nexus (from my SGS3), and the sound goes really quiet (eg I can barely hear them). The volume doesn't 'change', infact its still on max, it just seems to drop considerably. I hang up and call back, loud and clear, then eventually...

    Best Sub £200 MTB (or BSO)

    with the different sizes, would be based on going to ride them, and thinking 18-20 is going to be fairly within my range, especially as have read different ranges are different actual sizes anyways also if new, guessing going non suspension and disc brakes would make it more upgradable in future?

    Best Sub £200 MTB (or BSO)

    So looking to get a mountain bike, not going to be spending a huge amount of time on it (mostly weekends, maybe a bit of riding at lunch), want something fairly versatile so not really interested in hybrid or road bike. Will likely be biking with my son (5yo) around various parks, a bit of...
