Thanks for all your help.

Will give them both a try? Is there an easy way to clean the drive?

Having quite a few tech problems at the moment, mostly down to my own ignorance! I have got a four-year-old Jupiter 40x Cd burner. I am having a repeated problem with it saying there is no space on blank cds or failing to recognise any disc in the drive? Does this sound like its solvable or am...

Hi, I've got a bit of an odd problem. My Soundblaster audigy appeared to be working fine until I connected an XBOX360 into the Line-In socket. Now the card only works if I turn on the XBOX 360 before starting the computer. When the console is off the computer says their is no audio device...

Thanks for your help. I'll guess I'll see if my next xbox 360 lasts a bit longer.

My only concern is the issue of memory for the xbox 360. Can the system achieve the same effects and texture quality with only 512mb to share with the whole system when PC gpus have that just by themselves? I also read something about DVD drives not being able to stream data fast enough which...

Having ordered an xbox360 only for it to crap out within a minute of switching it on because the fans were not working I am tempted to ditch the POS and get two 7800 GT with the refund (got a couple of games too). I already have an A64cpu, sli mobo and 600W psu. Which of the options do you...

Unfortunately the metal socket in the other power connector is slightly misaligned and won't fit in my graphics card! I think the best thing might be to ask for a replacement.

I think it is a dual-rail power supply. Sorry I'm a bit of an ignoramus when it comes to PSUs. How would I dump the card back to another rail?

Because it dumps me back into windows and gives me a message about, Nivida Sentinel I think underclocking the card because it is not getting sufficient power. Also if you then check the core settings both the core and memory have been clocked at some way below its 370/1000 operating frequency.

Hi my graphics card has underclocked itself claiming it does not have enough power. It is a single nvidia 6800 gt and I have a 600W Enermax supply. The grfx card and processor(athlon 64 3000+) were not overclocked at the time. It only has only happened in the middle of Far Cry so far but I...

I suspect my power supply is playing up, is there an application available to download to test whether it is functioning correctly?

Hi my graphics card has underclocked itself claiming it does not have enough power. It is a single nvidia 6800 gt and I have a 600W Enermax supply. The grfx card and processor(athlon 64 3000+ were not overclocked at the time. Although I did reduce the frequency on the memory and core of the...

I have increased the htt to 250 mhz with a 2:1 divider on the ram and it runs prime 95 without any problems. But when I put the divider up higher to say 3/4 it fails prime 95 almost immediately. Using this divider should not be a problem for my ram as it is 3200 Geil Ultra memory which is...

It could still last that long, by which time it would have be practically worthless anyway!
