Having spent best part of a day trying combinations of ram, hdd, optical drive and media source I've came to the conclusion that my ASUS Athlon XP rig is finally dead. After years of issue-free computing an attempted install of Linux seems to have nuked it. So it looks like I need a new...
Hi, I'm running out of ideas to what this issue could now be. Basically while using my PC is occasionally (though at least 1-2 times per day) will freeze. Picture stops, sound stops, all inputs die, reset button dies, only way to do anything is to hold the power button and turn it off. However,...

My system has just started turning itself off without warning. It will power up OK then after maybe 10 minutes running will suddenly go dead - as though the power cable had been pulled from the wall. I'm guessing the PSU is at fault here as I get the same behaviour whther or not I log into the...

Hi, now and then, my Pc randomly shutsdown. No Shutdown sequence, it just completely turns off, and i can then turn it back on and boot it up normal without any problems until it does it again, but when i go into the bios, it says that my cpu is at 110 Degrees Celsius. Now this seems that this is a...

After leaving Sky a while ago for being pretty much useless I was quite annoyed at their last sting where they've disabled the PVR functions on the SkyHD+ box. I can still get free-to-air channels (though oddly not Dave which I get off the ariel) but the pause/rewind/record features are disabled...

Hi all As I haven't got much space, I was thinking about changing my rig to mATX for portablility, so I will probably sell my motherboard as well as my case so I can get mATX parts. So I should have about £100 (flexible) to spend on a case and motherboard, and if I have spare change either sell...

It's 'only' Apple TV but I'm very interested as to why they picked AMD's new Fusion line up over Intel. Don't get me wrong but I'm stoked for AMD but seems odd with all the weight Apple have with Intel (seeing as there whole line up of desktops and laptops use Intel CPU's) they have gone for AMD....
