Hi there, I'm looking for some advice on resolving an HDMI audio / Onboard audio conflict. The situation is this: I'm trying to connect my desktop pc to my TV via HDMI from my Sapphire R7 250 graphics card. Both devices support audio through HDMI (the TV receives audio from the my laptop by...

Hi guys, thanks for the input. Aquinus, I think you might be right. I've tried pretty much most of what you guys have suggested and I'm not making any headway. I think we'll leave it at that (at least until I get afford some better gear!) Once again, thanks for all your help. Awesome response...

Hi, Drive has been defragged in the last 24hrs and it's only about 6 weeks old. All 6 processors are enabled in msconfig. As for 'fast boot', I couldn't find such an option in the BIOS, although I did turn on the 'Turbo Core' feature within the BIOS. No change still... The system initially...

Hi, I've recently built a desktop PC for my home to the following specs (same as in the drop down menu to the left under my name) CPU: AMD Piledriver FX6 3.6GHz MOBO: Gigabyte G8-7LMT-S2P RAM: Corsair 2 x 2GB of 1333MHz DDR3 Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6450 HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 500Gb...

Joinded =D Though my laptop is tiny and feeble, I shall endeavour to leave it on all day long to trundle its way through its dinner of number-crunch spaghetti...

Okay, I am a complete and utter numpty. My girlfriend has a laptop with winXP and unbeknownst to her and the world in general, her brother (nice fellow, but likes to tinker with other people's laptops) installed a linux operating system on a partition on the hard drive. This slowed down the...

Okay guys, thanks for all the info. I think I've got enough input here to actually start getting stuff bought. Will let you know how it progresses. Came across a reasonably priced intel e7400 for about £100 on ebuyer.com, so will prob use that. O/Cs quite easily according to the reviews. 45nm...

The general usage will be gaming, probably also running the Folding@home application and various other open infrastructure network apps, and if I'm really honest, just for the sure fun of building a monster. Assume a budget of £1000, not including monitor/keybd and other peripherals. Case, PSU...

Hi, have recently been given a Foxconn Digitalife ELA motherboard (http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_spec.aspx?ID=en-us0000398). Since I'm not one to look the gift horse in the mouth, I'm now going to put together something resembling a decent system, centred around the...

Good stuff mate. Glad it went all right. What were you extrapolating btw (curious from the perspective of a physics student)?

Hi, I'll start of by saying what I need to do. I work for a shipping company which manages a large fleet of container vessels in the pacific and indian oceans. As part of my duties, I have to spend yonks entering hand written GPS logs into MS Excel. If you all recall your high school geography...

This may sound daft as I'm not sure about the accuracy of the excel trendlines, but what you could try is right clicking on the line of the data you want to extrapolate from, making an appropriate trendline (I dont know what sort of line ur dealing with, so pick from the options whichever type...

Okay, found the problem. It works fine with vista, the issue is, that the adaptor is just plain AWFUL!! In the room of my college where my onboard wifi gets full strength signal, the compoint adaptor gets less than 10-20% signal. :mad: So ladies and gentlemen, the moral of the story is "Stay...

Onboard Wi-fi disabled by flicking switch on front of laptop, so yes disabled onboard wifi before installing/trying to use the usb adaptor. So far, am unable to find the manufacturer on the web, although I did receive a software update for the client via the vista updater (did improve the...

Hi all, just got a brand new shiny laptop (Compaq F560EM) with on board wi-fi and vista home premium 32bit. Onboard Wi-fi module not good enough (low signal strength from WLAN on account of internal antenna) to get decent connectivity to halls of residence WLAN. So purchased a Compoint...
