I am taking out the standard PSU and going for the Hiper 585 they put in the £1500 'pre-configured' machine, or the Enermax 600W Noisetaker. Am not into overclocking and I have always bought Asus m/boards and never had a single problem. So am OK with the choice of Asus - it was just the which...

Thanks for the help most of my posts don't seem to elicit response, so much appreciated. The last part of my situation is that I might be moving house and crippling myself with a large mortgage - so future upgrading is limited, hence the 8800GTX now. Solariscs - I have the Fataility already...

Do not get the USB version. Buy an X-FI.

I bought a £7 4" fan from currys and works a treat as mine is stored inside a cupboard (not supposed to do this) and no issues.

I am going to be buying a new system and just need some help nailing the processor and motherboard. I cannot be bothered/am good enough/have the time with 2 kids to build myself. CyberPower always advertise in Pc Zone and the website seems to give a comprehensive choice. Anyone with any...

Uninstall AVG not Bioshock - worked for me having had the "permissions" message from Windows (XP)

No worries - it all worked. Now I have the XFi there is a difference in the sound via my Medusa's and I don't know why people complain so much about the Creative bloatware - there is now an option just to install the core 4 components in a 'gaming' option. Liking it so far :)

I have bought a Creative X-FI Fatality and now need to remove the Creative Audigy Platinum Ex from my machine. Is there anything special that I need to do other then 1. Uninstall all Creative software and then remove the card itself? I am only asking owing to the sometimes issue over needing a...

I had increased the MTU to 1500 (from 1492) based on previous advice, so I will investigate this latest fix as it appears that my fix has not worked :(

What is the idle timeout setting on the router admin set up pages?

If you are having the exact same problems with a new router, I would investigate your phone lines, sockets and network card/drivers first. How are you connecting to the router (wired or less)?

I have possibly found the daftest solution ever last night. It was my intention to do a full factory reset and re-input all my settings, so I pressed a match into the little hole on the back panel, but when it rebooted it found the ADSL connection (which I wasn't expecting as I thought it...

I have no security software other than AVG, binned Norton years ago. Have tried the M/soft KB article and upped the time from 1500 to 3000 (1.5 to 3 seconds) and this has not worked. Am going to have one last stab before buying a different modem/router. Thanks again

Connections from the PC are: Ethernet to the Netgear ADSL modem/router RJ11 from the modem to the master socket in the house (directly into the splitter.

Cheers for that - getting more help. There is no install process on the machines as they do not 'see' the modem/router as a Netgear DG834PN - just a network/wireless connection, but I will re-do the install process with the router anyway. I do not run a firewall on either machine as I am...
