This is on my main desktop, with a twin monitor setup. So as that Verge article mentions it being a DisplayPort issue, I think the second monitor is currently connected with the DisplayPort (to hdmi). I may have to go and swap so I'm using the DVI and HDMI connectors, to see if that makes any...

This has been an ongoing issue ever since I got a new second monitor. Whenever the monitor loses it's signal, Windows (10 Pro) moves all the open windows that were on that screen, to the other screen, which is a bit of annoyance as it then means I need to drag all the windows back to the second...

It's apparently not that straight forward, as the stream was provided by the crematorium. In all honesty, I think all this infrastructure was quickly thrown in place due to the Covid restrictions, without my thought about things. I think the stream was pretty much a webcam thrown up in the...

Sorry, I should have said, you need to login to see the video player. If anybody wants to try, just let me know and I'll PM you the details.

I've just been asked by my mum to try and download the stream from my Uncle's cremation service, as the stream is supposed to disable tomorrow, however I can't even get it to play. The embedded player just sits and spins. Looking at the network traffic in the Console tool, it appears it's...

You need the medical to get your provisional. Then you need your theory to go for your practical. Then IIRC you go for your CPC training after your practical, as a certain amount of the CPC is practical based. I can remember you have to average 35hrs (5 days) CPC training every five years, but...

You'll need a cat C license (Class 2 in old money), and you can go straight to that without a C1 (7.5t) You'll typically do a weeks driving course, then have a test at the end. Prior to that, you'll need to pass a medical to get your provisional licence, and you'll also have to do your driver's...

Some truck modules don't have much tolerance for overvoltage, so you had to be cautious of battery chargers. The easy way is just to say don't jump/boost start them, as it helps to try and avoid idiots untrained people from doing damage. The biggest benefit of those leads, is they'll stop you...

The only ECU failures I've seen after attempted jump starts, have been down to idiots connecting jump leads the wrong way around. Battery gases is only one reason the final connection should be made to the body/engine rather than the battery terminal. The other reason is if you do have the...

I'd say your typical electrician wouldn't even know what to check for. The issue is likely to be either a poor or failing filter, which unless it's totally failed and causing a problem, your typical electrician will think everything is fine. A 5 year check is just a basic safety check. IIRC all...

I have no idea on height, but it's currently got 16GB worth of Corsair Vengeance RGB in it, although I have a 32GB 8pack kit to fit when I get a chance. I'm not set on watercooling, I just want something that's a bit quieter, and upgrade proof.

The only gaming I'm planning on doing is the new MS flight sim, just so I can fly over the local area :-) My main use is 3D CAD/modelling, along with some video editing, so I'll be making the CPU working pretty hard at times. I had been looking at one of the H150s, but perhaps a H100 would be...

Sounds more like a fluorescent lamp, as although LED lamps can take a couple seconds to turn on, they generally don't flicker into life. However fluorescent lamps can cause interference issues as well, in fact, they're probably more likely to cause issues, as they use higher voltages than LEDs...

My new build is running well, and even though it's a lot quieter than using my laptop with it's cooling fans going flat out most of the time, the standard AMD cooler that came with the 3600 is already annoying me with it's regular speed changes! Plus some idiot mounted it the wrong way around...

The lithium booster packs are surprisingly good. The AA were testing one out at work on various vehicles when they first came out, and on a totally flat 2.0 Transit van, it would make a reasonable attempt to crank it. It wasn't enough to start it, but we were surprised it even managed to crank...

I'd say the spline has finally worn out at the CV joint, and the boot spinning of is just a symptom, not the problem. Cheapest fix is usually a reconditioned shaft from a motor factors. You can thank the molybdenum in the grease for it not washing out of clothing easily. Absolutely horrendous...

LED lights in the kitchen by any chance? We have some cheap LEDs at work, that when you switch one room off, it'll briefly knock the LEDs out in the next room. I'm assuming they've got rubbish filtering, and create a spike when switched off. I'd get one of the basic plug in socket testers with...

Hello there! Just a quick post to say Hey, since I'll probably be asking for some hints/tips soon. I've just built my first desktop in quite a while, as my current laptop wasn't quite cutting it doing various CAD simulations. I think the last desktop I built from scratch had a Socket 7, so...
