Hi, happy bank holiday, hope you can help mine to be too. All answers more than welcome. PROBLEM: I knocked together a PC at the weekend that booted once and now fails to. It is pretty bare bones so shouldnt take too long to troubleshoot. It doesnt work at all no POST or anything. The fan in...

Yeah ive heard bad things about the board, i have a K75SA and no probs, if they are still going cheap ill maybe suggest he gets one. erm, initially my friend encountered troubles doing his film production stuff on it. Using Adobe After Effects and rendering things. Ive been playing...

Thanks matey, was thinking along the same lines - tried latest 4in1 drivers from VIA, will update BIOS. Thanks. Any other ideas would be welcome tho. (Elite K7VZA - VIA Chipset)

Blue Screen Of Death!! With XP!! Never heard of such a thing. (Im pretty sure this is a hardware issue but if im wrong - sorry mods) Can someone please help. While doing a processor intensive task windows XP Pro crashes and a blue screen with white text appears. The text is something along...

I was gonna write exactly that a few days ago. Or you could try splitting the HDD's up and putting the Burners on different channels ie a burner and a HDD on each channel. If one is BurnProof stick that on the one with the HDD that you are copying from. I only had one IDE cable in a comp i...

If you are only burning a few MB you will probably not notice much difference, with my computer (and Nero) it takes a while after the bar has reached 100% before it actually has finished. I notice no difference between an 8x and a 16x drive when burning small files, the difference when burning a...

Don't know how hard-coded this is but would it be possible to increase the length of nick's by one I need an extra 'f' on the end. Please :D I too like the buttons.

Was a good movie, watched it a few weeks ago. Wont spoil it but if anyone here is british there is another surprising appearance other than Luke(Matt?) Goss. Not exactly typecast but doomed to always wear fangs.

I feel like every post ive made here is just agreeing with Big B but hey. I have always used Nero, tried EasyCDC briefly but it annoyed the hell out of me. As it works i'd say stick with it I had a new burner that wouldnt work with the latest Nero, had to wait a few weeks for an update. As...

My fathers PC came with a Toshiba DVD about 5 years ago, still works fine in fact I just built him a new one and stuck that drive in it. Personally I'm gonna go for a Pioneer they make l33t slot-in drives (kind of like the CD-Players you get in cars).

Cheers boss! Apparently WinXP Pro has extra cool duelview stuff, thanks for link, i'm off to tinker : ) EDIT: Up 'til a while ago the answer to this sort of question would be the first thing to come up on google. Anyone else seem to get searches ending in loads of sites trying to flog u stuff?

Does anyone know if it is possible to use two monitors off two cards? I have an AGP GeForce 2 and a PCI TNT2 (ie both nVidia). I believe the software for the nVidia dual display monitors is called nView, any ideas whether this or another pice of software would work with the two cards I have...

If it helps at all Ive always used WD or Maxtor without a single hitch.

Thanks for help I'm guessing its a dodgy-botcho-generic one from the computer fair he bought the comp at, I take it a higher wattage would be preferable? Any ideas what a 'disabled host controller' may be referring to or is this as vague as it sounds?

A friend of mine has been having trouble with his PC among other things he seems to have a dodgy IDE channel. If his CDWriter is placed on the secondary channel it doesnt function correctly and freezes the PC, it won't install a whole piece of software. I lent him my copy of SiSoft Sandra and...
