Has anyone actually purchased a copy of this security suite, i just wanna know how it performs. Ive had Bit Defender internet secutiry 2009 for the last year and have had nothing but problems. It took 6 months for them to sort out the firewall problem. The 2008 version was one of the best i...

Hello, not been on in a while. Im having a spot of bother with my pc failing to boot. It has done this for as long as i can remember. It can sometimes take up to an hour for it to get through the boot sequence and in that time it will restart itself maybe 30 or 40 times, sometimes it just...

Hello, im still alive and its been a while but ive recently run into a problem that ive tried to solve but with limited success. For the last week or so when running full screen games and applications, every 5-20 mins the program minimizes itself to the tray. Ive tried to find an answer to the...

Well i though i'd download IE7 this week, believing the words that microsoft spoke on their website. I should have learned by now not believe anything. IE7 was anything but faster and easier to use, web page load up was so slow, and kept timing out, must be them phishing filters. So i've...

Got my new rig up and running, after about 2 weeks i noticed that it wasn't booting up first time. Now the PC takes about 20 attempts to boot up, and then gives me a warning message about overclocking before sending me to the BIOS screen to reset to default. The problem is that i haven't...

I turned on my pc this morning to be greeted by it turning itself off and on 4 times before it got to the bios stage. After the 4th time it went to bios with the message 'warning, previous attempt of overclocking has failed, revert back to previous stable state' blah blah. Now i actually...

Im not seething, honest!!!! I am wanting the MSI 8800GT 512mb GPU. It was sold out everywhere yesterday so i mailed all of them asking them to tell me when it would be in. Aria PC got back to me at 17:25 today telling me that they had recieved 10 in stock. As soon as i opened the mail at...

Seen as i now have bought half a pc, im itching to buy the other half. Im looking at 8800GT's, fairly confident i'm gonna buy one of them. Just there is so much choice. Out of a page of 8800GT's i'm stuck on which one to get and why! Im not really looking above the £200 quid mark. Is any...

Iv'e been watching the news with great interest recently. Unless you have been living in a cave you are probably aware of the story about a British female teacher who has been sent to prison for 15 days, for apparently insulting the prophet Mohammed by allowing her school kids to name a class...

Ive done the deed and gone ahead and purchased the first bits i can afford in this months pay packet. Slightly different from what i was proposing originally and hope everything looks fine...

Asus P5W DH Deluxe i975X Socket 775 ATX MOTHERBOARD - Aria Technology Just before i go ahead and purchase this mobo, does anyone wanna tell me there is a better board out there for around the same price. Doesn't matter, i've changed the cpu i want and the FSB speed is more than this mobo...

Last saturday i went on my first date for a number of months. As far as dates go it was one of the worst i have experienced. Background information: I don't normally drink alcohol, the date was in another town so i was driving. We met in the city centre, she suggested going to a bar round the...

Am i committing sacrolige by folding@home for Custom PC. Answers on a postcard please!!!! :chk:

For the past 3 years ive been having trouble with my monitor turning off when playing online games, and for the first time i thought id do some stress testing on the main components to see if it yeilded any results. Well when testing the only notables were my CPU which is running at 81%...

Im not sure such a term exists, but thats what is kinda happening. When loading games to play online where there appears to be alot of information being sent/recieved, the screen either gets stuck at loading or the TFT flickers white and then i get a loss of picture. Now i know it might maybe...

Well thanks to swansen i have a new xfire signature. On looking down upon the gaming hours ive put in this week or all time its ironic to think that it says 'no games played'. If only this were true, maybe i'd be leading a normal life and not making excuses as to why i can't go out just so i...

Im very suspect of my PSU and don't think it's giving enough power. Is there a program that will tell me how efficiently it is running?

Well a whole 8 months have passed since i last made a meaningful contribution. Everything has been running hunky doory, well until yesterday that is anyway. I dunno if its a sign or what. I thought id just go back on Warcraft again for a bit, so loaded her up and started downloading the...

I went to play AoE3 lastnight only to find that my pc couldn't find any files relating to the game, upon closer inspection i found that half of my partioned drive had disappeared altogether from my system. The half that contains all my game, music, and video files. Now i am very perplexed as to...
