Just looking for the best laptop out there for £600 in the UK (don't want to import from elsewhere). Just a few criteria that I'd like the laptop to meet: A 1920x1080 screen Able to run Photoshop Able to run Dota 2 and Civ V reasonably well (50-60fps on low-medium) No operating system is...

Problem solved. I am genuinely embarrassed and would like to apologise. When I moved the card from the x16 to the x4 port, I had to move a the HDD SATA cable because it was preventing the card from slotting in. When I moved it back into the old slot, the PC booted no problem. What would have...

Motherboard, BIOS and GPU drivers are all up to date. I know that the CXM500 is known as a tier three PSU, and it could be problematic, but it appeared to work perfectly fine up until now. RAM is flawless too, just tested in another machine.

Upon turning my computer on after two seconds of the Windows 8.1 splash screen (just before the loading circle) the computer will crash and turn off. My motherboard has a faulty PCIEx16 port. At random intervals, for no explicable reason, output will stop from the port. Through every...

Thought I selected as best answer immediately after I solved it. Plugged the 4-pin processor plug in an incorrect rotation (not sure how I did that, certain they're supposed to be idiot-proof). Thank you

It appears there is a very faint buzz when I turn it on as well. Also, when I take out the CPU, the exact same happens. Could I have possibly damaged the CPU?

Moved everything from my CIT Vantage to the NZXT H440, and since then it refuses to boot. For a very brief moment, the LEDs around the case will turn on, for around 0.25 seconds, but then everything goes again. I have an inkling the problem might be something to do with the processor. I bought a...

I have been drooling over the NZXT H440 for the last two months. I have needed a new case ever since I got I got a new GPU, and then Catalyst decided to hyperclock my 8350 to the point where I had to turn two cores off and downclock it massively in bios (and core temp still comes up with...

My FX-8320 was doing just fine this morning and in the seven months before that. Temperatures would max at 45-50, idle at 25. Today I got a new GPU, switched from a Zotac nvidia GTX 650Ti to a Sapphire Dual-X AMD Radeon R9 270X. In the installation of drivers and such (which was probably rather...

The Evo is good, I have no complaints with the performance. I've just had to make some compromises with the rest of my computer to get it to work. In addition to having to take ages to reinstall every bloody game, my optical drive now won't work as my SATA cables aren't long enough to...

Yes, you did read the title correctly. Basically, I'm not satisfied with my Samsung 840 Evo, and want to refund it. Would migrating the programs and Windows (because my personal data is already on the HDD) be a simple copy-pasta job, or would there be more to it?
