Spot on thanks. The RAM upgrade is only a few quid so I’ll go ahead with that now, and the GPU replacement and start saving towards other upgrades. Thanks for this

It’s 2x2gb. Going to upgrade that to the one you’ve suggested so thanks for that. Your GPU suggestion looks like a winner, here’s hoping delivery isn’t too long, as I’m PC-less until it arrives

The PC was operating fine prior to this. I have an SSD hard drive. I’m thinking a placeholder GPU might be the way to go and a new PC next year when this supply issue hopefully goes away might be my best option. Not sure exactly what that looks like atm though

I’ve got a backup, older graphics card and the PC is working fine with a different graphics card in, which is what makes me certain it’s just a broken graphics card. Unfortunately that graphics card wouldn’t be good enough to play any games long term so I’ll need a replacement. Guess my question...

Hi all, Gaming this morning has brought an end to my long lived graphics card with a sudden pop and a blue screen of death. After messing around with my other units, I’m 99% sure it’s the graphics card, so I’m in the market for a new one. Computer specifications are below: Intel Core...

Some available on German Amazon, not sure if it'll work in the UK, but another forum seems to think it will

I'll be lingering until the end of work, as refreshing this is the less objectionable option :D

Played plenty of EU4, but never touched CK2. Decided to get CK3, but this is the most messy and complicated game I've played, so need a few tips. When wars are happening, is there any distinction between enemy, ally and neutral troops? The flags are very hard to distinguish between and not...

Just started getting into this, can’t believe I’ve been missing out, little gem of a game. Managed to face roll everyone with the Ottomans and France as a few introductory games to get used to the game and what not. Been trying Venice for a challenge as it seems quite interesting, but keep...

That’s what always puts me off when I do return. Would be great if I could find a community to be a part of, but it’s a lonely game to play solo

I really am tempted by this but again put off a bit by the Steam reviews. What are your thoughts on this as a potential purchase at £23 on CDKeys?

Hi all, Tonight I have been running another version of (incidentally) the same graphics card - AMD Radeon 7770 - from my brothers identical PC in mine and have been unable to reproduce the crash that is systematic in my usual setup. I will run it for a fair bit longer to check that this isn't...

Below is the GPU-X output for the latest crash that I have captured, incase it is of any use. The game was turned on at 19:34:46 and crashed by 19:37:40 - the remaining 13 seconds were collected before I restarted the PC, I imagine. Date , GPU Core Clock [MHz] , GPU Memory Clock...

Hi, I've tried running the system with the monitoring software running over the weekend and I am not experiencing any peaks in temperature on any of the devices at points which are connected to the crashes. I have sometimes been able to run games for 2-3 hours before crashing, and other times...

Hi, Yea it is indeed a prebuilt one - bought through a salary sacrifice scheme on the NHS 2.5 years ago. I'll run those tests tonight and get back to you tomorrow with the results. Thanks for your help thus far.

The PSU is a HP DPS-600WB A Today has been a strange one, the PC operated playing games for around 3 hours without any problems whatsoever. Monitoring of temperatures indicated that the GPU was settling around 80C and the CPU around 50C, with no real change in any of the temperatures over the...

Hi, Thanks for the responses. My PC spec is as below in full: ACPI x64-based PC Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @3.40GHz Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition HP 2311gt 3D LCD Monitor Qualcomm Athetos AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)...

Hi all, I was hoping for some advice on how I can diagnose a problem with my computer that's been ongoing but growing in frequency for several months now. Whenever I play a more graphics intensive game on my PC (Cities Skylines and Heroes of the Storm are the two that I have that have caused...

This game looks great fun for me and the girlfriend. Can I check what I'd need to buy at present. Currently I have a PC, one Xbox One wireless controller and one Xbox 360 wireless controller. I guess I'd need the steam link + steam controller, along with a USB adapter to allow me to use the...
