thanks for the responses, I've replaced the motherboard a new version of the same, with the 6xxx bios and it posted first time. Newbie mistake!

I haven't posted here in a very very long time! I decided it would be fun to build a gaming PC for my 11 year old daughter, and I am struggling to get the motherboard to post. I don't know whether it is the CPU or MB that is at fault or if it a bios issue. Motherboard : asus prime a320m-k...

i have pretty sure these HP sata laptop cables are all the same, so i'm going to try one £8 and then i just need a caddy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hp-DV5-DV6-DV7-Series-Genuine-Hp-SATA-Connector-Cable-Hard-Drive-HDD-HD-/220910912434?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item336f5103b2

I just bought a refurb HP Envy 1190 with upgraded 8gb of Kingston memory along with a SSD drive I have discovered to my disgust that I am expected to purchase a caddy and sata cable in order to use the second drive bay, that a crock :mad: This is the kit here...

hi no not seen either yet, might pop into john lewis. Do you have the old 1xxx or the newer 2xxx Envy? Currys have the older 1050 available for £699 which is a bargain, might go for this since i wont be using it for any gaming (too old for that malarkey!)

looking for a new laptop to replace my 17" dv9000 and I specifically want a metal/alloy and not plastic laptop I know the Envy is all metal but what about the new DV7 series, I can't work out if the "brushed aluminium" statement means mock metal or if it is actually metal like the Envy ...

i agree

so it turns out lease cars quite often have missing stamps in their log books which is interesting. I guess the reason is that whilst they are required to get main dealer service at part of their lease T&Cs, since they dont own the car and therefore dont have to worry about resale, a lot of...

right i just checked the log book of my new 5 series which has one previous owner. That were Lloyds black horse lease, and the first service is shown at 44,000 Now lease cars have to follow the manufacturer's recommended rules so i assume the first oil change doesnt go in the log book, the...

the car was ex fleet so it would have to have had the servicing done at the correct time and by a main dealer. AFAIK the service history is normal for a long life service plan

Guys your comments/ feedback are really useful. Im going to rewrite and relist

fair enough, my wife actually wrote that part lol, she thought it added a personal touch :rolleyes:

Ive recently bought a 2008 BMW 5 Series M Sport to replace my Volkswagen Passat and I figured it would be a doddle to shift it... How wrong was I! I know its worth around £4000 given the mileage, new parts that it has and warranty, so why won't it fetch the right money :mad: Could anyone review...

Ok will do that, what does smb mean?

not posted on here on a long time...but i was hoping someone technical could help me out I have a windows 7 laptop and am using a netgear readynas duo. When connected to my O2 router via a cat cable or if I transfer wireless on my XP laptop I get good file transfer speeds. If i try with my...

Been a long long time since I posted here! I've long since lost the PC bug and gained the hifi bug, and I currently use a slimdevices squeezebox plugged into a high end DAC. I'm considering building a HTPC unit around a Lynx AES16 card - basically a new low jitter pro card that outputs...

i have to say no - i own both this and a 24-105 and TBH the little 10-22 is not as sharp :(

mate that's so helpful, thanks very much!

i'd like to go there this weekend, but don't have a car so this limits my options. However Weymouth is in easy reach of London and it seems easy to get to portland island and beach from there. Are they are other parts of the Dorset coast that are accessable from a train and which allow for...
