Thanks for the suggestion scout! Sorry for the delay - the PC in question is my brother's, who lives at home. I went back to uni. I tried a combination of different SATA ports on the mobo with both the old cable and two new cables. I tried both sata3 and sata6 ports. No luck unfortunately...

Hey scout thanks for the idea. I gave that a go - I unplugged the case fan from the mobo, and unplugged the optical drive from both the mobo and the psu. I tried running it with one stick of ram in a few configurations, all of which failed; ram stick 1 in slot 1, ram stick 2 in slot 1, ram...

Hey scout, here are the sensor screenshots https://ibb.co/fXgvCVz, and here's the system summary https://ibb.co/dJxg14D Cheers!

Hi people, I've been trying to fix this all day and it is killing me. When my PC is running it works just fine, but if I shut it down and then try to boot it up again it doesn't post. The disk drive beeps and the fans start spinning at max speed on my case, cpu, and gpu. The hard disk LED shows...

Hi! I'm midway through my build and I think I fried my motherboard. My fault as I'm working in my room on my bed and standing on carpet. Thought I'd ask for advice before I mess anything else up. I'd installed my CPU, cooler and RAM into my Node 202, the PSU wasn't plugged into anything at...

Hi Kaster, Sorry I worded my solution wrong. I meant that I pressed the SOURCE button on my TV remote and changed the view to see HDMI 2 instead of 1, and then back to HDMI 1. I didn't physically move the cable.

Hi, I've had two display problems today and I'm worried that there's a problem with my graphics card. The first is that all colours on my display were darker and with slightly bigger pixels. It didn't look too bad, but when i fixed the problem it looked a tonne better, I fixed it by switching...

Thanks im probably going to go with the 750 Ti but im going to go to CCL or dabs because i don't really like Gigabyte and you get £90 of game vouchers at CCL and dabs. Thanks a lot

Great thanks. Do you know what their warranty terms are? Their website says to 'contact the location where the original order was placed'

Cool thats a great deal 108 quid! Is gigabyte ok though i used to have a gigabyte keyboard and it was pretty bad quality

Hi, I recently had to return my Radeon HD 7870 Graphics card because it was over heating, even with two front fans and two side fans intake and one top and one back for exhaust. So now I'm hunting for a new one. I've got my eyes on the GeForce 750 Ti, but is that the best option? I know this...

Hey I live in the UK too so I couldn't find any male to male cables, but I did find some solutions. I'm going to do this briefly because I just wrote it all up in a big essay and then my WiFi died so I can't be bothered to do it again :') Firstly double check that the cables really are only...

My Avira antivirus has picked up nothing ever and neither did microsoft security essentials when i used to use that, which should mean there's nothing getting through as 'real-time protection' is on. However when i ran malwarebytes just now it found 10 malicious objects which my antivirus scan...

Wow guys thanks for the help. I turned up the fan speed on my gpu and it no longer crashes. hurrah.

I took off the side of my case and put a huge box fan there instead, and i managed to play FC3 fine. It was 79/80 degrees and i think it crashes at 84. does anyone know if the heat could have damaged my fans which is stopping it from cooling properly? and do most gpus crash at 80 degrees because...
