Hi guys, I'm moving from a full tower to an ITX so I can chuck it in my backpack and be a little more mobile. I'd love some advice on components as I am out of the loop. It's just for gaming, no rendering or professional work or anything like that. No budget really, but I'm not looking for...

Hello, I'd like some advice from our resident developers and anyone who has opted for a significant pay cut in order to change industry and do something more fun. I'm early thirties, 8 years out of University, and I work in the services sector in London. I'm an account director, which means I...

Just built a new computer with an MSI B450 Mortar and it has booted and installed Windows fine. I need to install Network drivers as it will not connect to the internet via the network cable, but the build doesn't have a DVD drive so I have opted to do this via USB. I downloaded the B450M...

I’ve participated in a few threads on adblocking over the years and presented my view that the practice is unethical because, simply put, it is effectively stealing from publishers. That might sound like a bold claim, but I consider it to be true. The content you read was most likely produced...

In London No supermarkets seem to sell them. Plenty of 'red chillies' or Serrano or Birds Eye varieties. Anyone know? Perhaps Borough Market?

Chrome opens fine and searching in the web address bar opens results in Google search engine as standard. When clicking on any of the search results however or typing in URL addresses manually, nothing happens. Nothing happens... until I load up an app which uses internet connectivity, e.g...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-45206266 Stormzy is offering to pay for young adults university education. But only if they're black. Surely this is absolute definition of racism? Discrimination against students of other races? Can you imagine if a white musician was offering to pay for...

Apologies in advance to those of you who are sick and tired of Brexit discussion. So, with the resignation today of David Davis, and the appointment of Dominic Raab, it seems the comments section of the BBC news website has moved another notch towards remain, and supporting a second vote on...

Gainward GeForce GTX 970 Phantom 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card Purchased March 2016 Problem when gaming and also when my girlfriend is on Rhino/Photoshop. Things working fine and then suddenly screen goes black, no audible change in fan speed and no noise to suggest computer is...

It wasn't too long ago that I was sat watching the Summer Olympics of 2012 and feeling not only a sudden urge to buy myself a road bike and start cycling to work, but also that I was just really genuinely happy to be British. For a while afterwards it seemed like everyone I spoke to had positive...

A new girl moved into my house share a couple of days ago, and from literally the moment she connected to the wifi my ping when gaming has been all over the place. We have virgin media 100mb or something and its a 4 person share. Everyone streams netflix/youtube whatever and typically it has...

Hello guys My mother has applied a BIOS password to her computer and can't remember what it is. The windows installation is corrupt and won't boot in normal or safe mode. I need to access the BIOS to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows, however I am prevented from doing so by this...

Hello So I've just finished my third build and fortunately everything worked first time with no issues. Im passing my old rig on to someone else but it's not really up to the task of gaming lately and I was hoping I could simply pop a new graphics card in to fix the problem? The CPU is...

Could someone smart please look over the below before I hit the buy button? Would you change anything? Will the CPU cooler fit in the case? Is 550W enough? I'm keen on sticking to Micro ATX or smaller. Thanks. My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32...

Hello, I'm a little bit out of touch, and looking for some advice on a new build I will be organising soon. I'd like a setup built around a Raijintek Metis Mini-ITX cube if possible, as space is an issue and I'm not interested in neon lights. To be used for: Fallout 4 on Medium/High What...

Hi there, My partner is replacing her aging MacBook Pro with a new one, and is pondering whether to opt for the base model or pay an arm and a leg for upgrades. Yes, I know there's an Apple section, and I'm sure she would receive better bang for the buck buying a windows laptop, but there...

Seems Amazon has finally bowed to pressure from the government and the introduction of the diverted profits tax which was introduced earlier this year. Honestly it's about time. Could this be a sign of things to come? Certainly means the economy of Luxembourg is about to shrink by a few billion...

How is it supposed to be done? I either feel phalanges clicking beneath my grip and feel guilty, or arguably worse I present them with the dead fish and feel sheepish when I receive a stronger grip than I anticipated. Does anyone have any advice for me please? I feel like getting to the bottom...

I've been left some money by a family member who recently passed away, and I'm looking for some advice on the best way to invest it. It's currently sat in a savings account earning sod all (0.7% AER (0.56% Net)) and I want to move it out of there ASAP. I'm young and not opposed to a bit of risk...

Any native english speakers here comfortable speaking Mandarin? How did you go about learning the language? I have been considering Rosetta Stone, although the investment seems somewhat hefty. The reason I ask is that I have been informed that learning a language from a developing nation will...
