    Amazon Prime Video Crashes my Computer

    Using the Amazon Prime Video player on Chrome causes my screen to go grey and computer become unresponsive so the only solution is to force restart. This error has not occurred before but occurred twice during one episode of The X-Files last week. I thought that it was a bit odd so I updated all...

    No Display Output

    Huh, I'm glad it was just the ram then, strange though, I hadn't used it for about two months and it worked perfectly before

    No Display Output

    Thank you so much! You are my saviour, there seems to be a problem with the primary ram slot but when I put the ram stick in another slot it worked perfectly!!

    No Display Output

    I have since got my hands on a POST test card which I put in a free PCI slot on my board, I can't see where I should put the speaker cable on the board but the green display reads 55 51 which is a start but I don't really know how to interpret this, thanks in advance

    Pc cases gaming

    I went for the Zalman Z11+ which goes for around £50, it has a nice big window and looks really cool with a big intake turbine on the front! The blue LED fans also add to the coolness, if you pardon the pun. I would get it again for the price and the sheer volume on the inside, I could...

    Fan Controller or new CPU Cooler?

    At the moment my desktop is rather noisy, I would like to know whether I'm better off investing in either a fan controller or replacing the stock intel heat-sink that I currently have installed. My CPU runs at about 30-40 degrees so there's no issue with temperature. I also have 5 case fans...

    portable case for desktop PC

Soon I will be going to University and want to take my computer with me, however the Zalman case, although looking...
