Just ignore us, PC ****ing contest! :D I would say its nothing to worry about to be honest. If your old 512 Memory was bottle-necking the system then the change in heat could just be the CPU working harder than it did before under certain circumstances. But going from 1 stick of 512MB...

Depends to be honest, some Mobo's have auto over-clocking features, put in faster RAM and it can effect the whole lot, increasing voltages to CPU, and thus fans etc. This can then have a snowball effect and cause the PSU to work harder, causing more heat, more fan noise, more PSU, and so on...

Yeah I was thinking it would probably be a quicker job, but I was wondering how to get the joists and boards perfectly level with the concrete. Are you saying i can use the mortar blobs under the joists to get the level better? Never thought of doing that! I probably will do the whole lot...

Any chance you know which fan? Is it case fans or CPU fan? Presuming they are running on auto to compensate for heat, it would be odd for a memory upgrade to increase it that much, unless your PSU is working too hard with the new RAM installed. If the power supply isn't up to the task it will...

Have you tried booting into safe mode? Keep tapping F8 whilst loading. Sounds to me like a hard drive problem, if you get into safe mode you can first pull off any important files, then try a full disc scan, see if it throws up any errors, if so they may be repairable, or you may need to...

Your getting MB and Mb mixed up. MB = Megabytes commonly used to measure data storage and fast memory. Mb = Megabit commonly used to measure network speed. He does say he has an 8 Megabit connection. Same as when we all had 57.6Kb (Kilobit) modems that had a max speed of 7.2KB...

You could try causing Itunes to only use one core, rather than two. Just fire up Task Manager right click on the "Itunes.exe" then click on "Set affinity" and disable one core. This will stop Itunes from using both cores, it may take longer to process the songs but at least you'll be able to...

Hi all, We have a largish house, the footprint is rectangular and around 100 m2 give or take 10m2. As its had, in the past, around 4 extensions, the roof is a bit of a state, 4 seperate lofts, pitch going in different directions and the lofts are unusable for anything except boxes. We...

Hi all, I am intending to lay some Parquet flooring in 2 adjoined rooms. The first room is a concrete base with DPM and a 6" drop at the half way point. The next room is floorboards, accessed via 2 arches from the low part of the other room and is also 6" above the low part. So...
