    CD-writer dud

    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...

    Sound card clash with Xbox360

    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...

    Memory refuses to run using divider

    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...

    OVERCLOCK BFG 6800 GT

    I have a BFG 6800gt pci-e card and when I try and overclock either using the default program or rivatuner it seems to reset the core from 400 mhz to its original 370 mhz after a few minutes of playing a game. But the memory overclock stays at 1100mhz. Could anyone explain this? Thanks for any help,
