If RAM suddenly borked then likely mobo at fault, possible fatal damage to both RAM and mobo.. causality. If Video card borked then would would not shut down.. PC would run with black screen.. easy test is to plug video cable into on-board video-out Upon re-reading and looking at the video...

Thermal stress issues are under consideration... Don't really want to go for mirror finish.. but if push comes to shove, my comfort overides what the neighbours think.. (I've got foil taped to interior at present so they already think that I'm upto no-good ie drugs. The fact that if I was doing...

Is a proper one... vented through window (gap sealed) with one of those hoses like on a tumble-dryer, water draining from hose into an external container. If I didn't have a stone build house I would have a proper wall-mounted unit installed... :-)

Stone build terraced house, 4 windows and door facing South West, direct onto pavement. House get's ridiculously warm in summer... I have a portable aircon unit which keeps bedroom cool, but is expensive and noisy. Would like to prevent heat build-up in the first place. Ideally external...

I found that thread a while back.... I was wondering if there had been any further developments in materials/process regarding mediation of the noise issues. Doesn't seem to have been though.. Mentioned it to roofer and he proposed rubber sheet... so now I'm researching that avenue

My initial experience with Linux was equally fraught.. but that was a few years ago... recent attempts have been remarkably less so, actually, from experimenting on an old PC (Pentium4 era) I am now dual booting on my main 'puter .. :) I installed it on one of my old experimental PCs which can...

I don't recall any issues with Avast trying to install PUPs... but then again I always check the 'custom' installation of anything I download.. and untick any 'make google your default blah blah' or 'try our bonus free gift product' as a matter of procedure... For years Avast and AVG have...

Soz.. was in a filthy mood.. I apologise unreservedly..:oops: The virus seem to be in your email... therefore separate to your system files. I note that in the selection box it states 'No Action Taken'. What are the options in this box? It looks like BitDefender has already identified them as...

Just use Ccleaner like everyone else does... it was originally called Cr@pCleaner... but it was so good that MicroSoft bought it out... obviously it couldn't be called 'that' anymore... Used to be pre-loaded with Win-XP.. which beggers some obvious questions... Do NOT try to manually 'clean'...

Sound advice... I didn't want to go into too much detail... ;-) But by and large IME ... if fans/lights come on but no action after resetting CMOS and re-seating CPU.... the bios or mobo is toast - quite rare for the CPU to fry (again IME) Will tend to be an uneconomic repair.... If failure is...

Am about to have shallow slope asbestos roof replaced... Whole width across back of house... single story over bathroom and kitchen. Facing SE. Current roof (asbestos) makes a lot of noise when sun hits it... not good in high summer as it starts 'creaking' at about 5am... What are latest...

Unplug from power. Remove RAM Remove CPU Reset CMOS Re-insert CPU Re-insert RAM If this doesn't resolve, more than likely the actual BIOS chip has failed. Possible try removing and re-inserting the BIOS chip (CAREFULLY!!)... as last resort, can work sometimes but always leaves the question of...

More details on your PC?

Yep... I have foil on the interior of my windows much to the chagrin of my neighbours! Stone build terraced house, 4 windows and door facing South West, direct onto pavement. House get's ridiculously warm in summer... I have a portable aircon unit which keeps bedroom cool, but is expensive and...
