    PC won't shut down, won't wake up from sleep - stumped!

    Hi guys, The title says it all really - I had a i5 HP Pro tower lying around so when my old machine started bluescreening I decided to scrap it and only move the gfx card to the HP(and add some RAM too). Obviously that required a PSU upgrade so I bought a new 600W Evga as well. Everything seems...

    Moto G 1st Gen Now Getting Android 5.0.2 'Lollipop' Update

    I've had it since end of march, I'm on Vodafone in the UK. I gave in to the constantly nagging update notification and I wish I didn't. Thought my moto g with kitkat was the best thing ever(for the money), sadly with lollipop it just isn't. It's laggy, there are some annoyances and bugs and it...

    Is Dell OptiPlex 960; Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3 GHz; TOWER, a good choice for mid-range gaming?

    Inconsistent internet upon fibre

    Hey, My guess is that your measly speeds are down to router placement/wifi signal, but how is this setup connected then? Phone line/fibre modem is connected to Sky router, but how is the BT router connected to it(and what router is it exactly)?

    Get All Old Quake Games for Just $15

    hellwigDoes anyone still play Quake III? Unless you and your friends host a LAN party, the internet servers have to be pretty dead for that one by now. Install the game and go online, you will be surprised. Quake3 is well and truly alive, at least in europe.

    Does this sound like a broken temp sensor?

    Doesnt the MB sensor measure the northbridge/northbridge area temperature? Nothing to do with core temperatures i guess

    Need help with my homebuilt system

    Hi there, sorry but have been away for a while myself. While you have your both cards out inspect the HSFs if they sit properly, maybe one of them is not and causes the crashes after some time(due to overheating).
