    Power Failure on PC

    New GPU arrived on Tuesday, I installed the new card, and it seems to all work pretty smoothly now. Runs Destiny 2 at max settings without missing a beat. Cost me a bit more to get the PC going again than I had expected (I was expecting £40 for the motherboard and wound up needing a new GPU...

    Power Failure on PC

    Unfortunately the UK is pretty much locked down at the moment so making a journey back home (about 200 miles) to borrow the graphics card from my Dad is a no go and as far as I am aware all of my local friends have laptops. I have realised that the Core i5 3570K has its own integrated GPU so I...

    Power Failure on PC

    I haven't got a less powerful card lying round so it may be time for a new graphics card. I'll try and figure out a suitable replacement for it in the morning. I'm definitely using the PCI-E power cable, it's got PCI-E written on one side of the connectors (2 * 6+2 pin connectors on the cable)...

    Power Failure on PC

    Sorry, just to clarify, I am not planing on putting the CS 650M back in. My plan is to use the new RM 650 so it's reassuring that my new PSU is a good quality design at least! The card unfortunately doesn't work with the new power supply either. The cable is the one which was included in the...

    Power Failure on PC

    Thanks Bill, I've spent a bit more time with it this afternoon and it seems that the old PSU will start up when disconnected from everything else. I tried the same test with the new one and it happily started up. I have added cables back in and identified that it is completely happy starting up...

    Power Failure on PC

    I had a fault on my old motherboard which I hadn't got round to fixing for about 4 years (wouldn't post due to a motherboard timing error, tried clearing the CMOS and fitting a new battery but it still wouldn't work) so I replaced the motherboard. Everything worked smoothly for a week (I played...

    Eating that stuff is a subjective term... More like enduring it moving through your digestive system...

    True, my cooking so far has depended rather heavily on cheese, mainly because it's a BRILLIANT ingredient!

    Cheese can always be made better with worcester sauce!

    I'm not sure if the US do have freedom of information, since it was a CIA/ Special Forces op it may well end up remaining classified until long after they've left Afghanistan, they play specifics ridiculously close to the chest. They buried him at sea to avoid his grave becoming some sort of...

    There's been more coverage of it in one day than there was in the entire week leading up to the royal wedding! It's got just a tad old hearing about it every hour on radio one and having stuff constantly pop up on facebook (I use it as my IM service to talk to some of my friends).

    Old news Tigger :p Unfortunate that he had to get shot rather than be extracted but for the importance of the operation it looks like it was quite small scale so getting him out may have been a tad hairy. Libyan ambassador to the UK has been told to leave as well.

    Yep, just watched it last night and loved it! The original's pretty good as well, it's worth a watch.

    I'd seriously suggest The Walking Dead, it's probably the best comic I've read so far (excepting Sandman, that is fantasy/ mythology at its true best) I'd suggest taking a look at the AMC series even if you don't want to get into reading the comic, it's brilliant.

    I've moved on to graphic novels lately, horrendously expensive to buy myself but my local library has kept me going for about 2 years and I have a friend whose been collecting for at least 20 years now, every month or so I go over and visit him with my best mate, borrow a pile of graphics and...
