Hi my pc has just become very loud! Was working fine and then started sounding similar to the sound that a toilet cistern makes when filling up!! Was thinking that maybe its the cooling fan? Any help would be appreciated cheers si

existing ring main is there and i need to take it outside in conduit. what would you suggest?

can u join single core cables to ordinary non stranded cable with crimps?

yea it was just a thought. gotta job coming up with a load of outdoor wiring and thought it would look much neater in conduit. If i used singles, how big do you think the conduit would need to be to carry a 4mm radial and a 2.5mm ring?

good idea or not? an advantage would be more cables allowed disadvantage would be stripping everything down what do you think?

dave.m many thanks for your extensive reply!! have tried ctrl and esc buttons which didn't do anything. also tried the task manager thing where you type epxplorer etc. again this did nothing. tried system restore via task bar C drive, windows, system 32, restore. i assume that this is...

yes on xp. there is no taskbar at all so not sure how to get onto system restore. programs on desktop still open apart from internet. did a complete virus scan last night. also did a system recovery in the safe mode

Starts up but will open limited programs for about 5 minutes but then wont open anything. Clicking on anything after this does nothing at all. Tried to run a virus scan but it runs but wont check any files.
