Could be a heat issue, I know some motherboards will shut themselves down if they are getting too hot, if you have completely formatted the laptop and re-installed XP and it still does it then it's gotta be a hardware fault. Get it looked at, at a PC repair shop.

Purchased a Rate of Rise one for the Kitchen and opticals for the rest of the house, awesome little units, couldn't be happier with the result !

Hi Guys, Got an interesting one for you, hoping you can help, I could really do with getting the cable replaced that runs from the junction box at the bottom of my block of flats, it currently has two interior junction boxes on it connecting different bits of cable together. I did have a few...

When you plug the laptop in do you use a different cable ? Could be that you are using a crossover cable instead of a straight through. Do you have DHCP enabled on the PC you are using, you should be able to find it by clicking on the network connection, clicking propeties, then clicking TCP/IP...

Why is it attached to an affiliate link ?

Hi Guys, Currently got a Premier 24 system installed and wondering about the fire detectors that I have read about on the internet. Are these plug and play with regards to fire detection ? They seem to get mentioned in the manual, but can't find all that much else about them, had a look at...

Haha, you wouldn't believe the amount of places I get called out to and hear exactly that, can be a nightmare !

IIRC they were something like £15 I think. Although that was ages ago, I know the Carbon Monoxide dectector they do is something like £11 at the moment. I can have a look next time I go if that is any help ?

To be honest they all vary, I'm 99% sure I've managed to pull a connector though before, it can be a bit of a tight fit, you should be able to wiggle the drill around abit to widen out the hole slightly. I've heard people have had successes in the past with chopping a HDMI cable in half and...

They are Ionization ones, if it is the Costco ones you are looking at, they also let you know when the 10year battery is running out by chirping every 45seconds !! Seem a little sensitive at times but that can only be a good thing given my flat mates cooking !! :P

Ahhh, I'm guessing you are looking at the Costco ones..... I'll go have a look at my ones now for you !!

I use them in my house, test them every few months, so far so good (2 years) test perfectly every time !! No doubt a damn sight less hassle than wired ones too !!

Welcome to my world, I'm an AV Engineer by trade, so constantly having that problem !! We have had a few jobs before, were we have ended up using CAT5 baluns because we couldn't get the HDMI to fit. I know it goes without saying but since I've seen contractors using SDS bits without an SDS...

You'll get 22mm from this screwfix one : http://www.screwfix.com/prods/63076/Drill-Bits/SDS-Plus/Titan-SDS-Plus-Drill-Bits/Titan-SDS-Plus-Drill-Bit-22-x-1000mm Not too expensive, half decent quality, used one before for a similar application, ripped straight through, make sure you have a...

In all honesty, neither, I've seen faar too many tarnished switches to rate any of them. At a push I'd say Chrome, but are you sure you really need them ? Trying to get hold of matched ones a few years down the line will be a nightmare.

LED just defines the backlight type, it replaces an older style of backlighting, some people prefer LED backlighting but it is not for me. Could be lots of problems in all honest causing the issue you describe, does your set have a 100hz mode or something similar ? Try turning that on, it can...

You may be able to get a better signal out of your current aerial, do you have any form of amplifier connected to it at the moment ? Depending on where you live and the quality of your current aerial you could well just need a signal amplifier.

I doubt it.

After a bit more googling I think I may have sorted out my confusion, that said I'd still like suggestions. I think I was looking at programmable thermostats, and what I had installed in my old place was actually just a timeswitch. I'm guessing I would be ok just getting another timeswitch, I...

Hi Guys, Recently moved into a flat and am a bit unimpressed with the current central heating system, I could do with a bit of flexibility as a result am looking into central heating control. I've had a good look around and really like the look of the Siemens Touch Screen control system...
