    Blue bars down screen

    Well, I've given the outside a bit of a wipe down of any dust and I don't know how it's happened, but I've just turned the PC on again to try get into Safe Mode and everything seems to be working fine again. Bizarre. Could have been a blocked fan and therefore overheating like has been...

    Blue bars down screen

    Thanks for all your responses. It looks knackered to be honest. I've let it all cool off over night and I'm getting the same problem this afternoon. I'm now trying to work out how to enable the onboard graphics so I can at least get something done it until I get a new card delivered, but not...

    Blue bars down screen

    I was doing some casual Facebooking, and streaming some music in the background and had the lovely experience of the screen flashing white, going black then coming up with blue and black bars down the screen (shown in image 1): http://imgur.com/a/adITd On rebooting I get this screen in Image 2...

    Data Recovery Issue - Folders showing, files notq

    Thanks for the responses! I managed to find them but plugging them into an iMac and they showed up on there no problem at all. I'm guessing something to do with the filing system?

    Literally just edited by OP with this, but yes it's showing hidden files.

    Data Recovery Issue - Folders showing, files notq

    My mother's laptop recently went the way of the Dodo and I said I'd try get her files off for her (mainly for family holiday photos etc). I've bought a SATA to USB cable online and plugged it into my PC and it does seem to recognise it, showing up in My Computer. The strange thing is, when I...

    Canon 70 - 200 2.8 IS II alternative?

    I rented a 70-200mm II f2.8 over the bank holiday for an event and I'm totally blown away with it. Then you check the price and you see why. I know it'll hold its value quite well though which is why I'm kind of persuading myself to buy it.

    Formatting Crucial M500 480GB Drive - BSOD

    I've been trying to install a Crucial M500 480GB SSD drive for some extra, fast space. I'm having a problem formatting it though in Disk Management on Windows 7 Professional. It can see the drive installed here, So I go to New Simple Volume and complete the setup wizard with everything as...

    1600 v 1866mhz

    Price I'd imagine, as the performance difference isn't going to be all that noticeable.

    Canon 7D and Noise issue

    It's about the amount of noise I'd expect in an ISO800 shot. In fact after a bit of playing around I'd say the shadow areas are about the same at 200 and 800 from the shots I've taken. Quite strange, you'd have thought I'd have Auto Lighting Optimiser on.

    Canon 7D and Noise issue

    Yes, it was bought brand new from Warehouse Express I believe (a Christmas present), so getting it replaced shouldn't be too much of an issue. On another note, the lens doesn't seem to be anywhere near as sharp as I'd expect it to be? That was a refurb from a Canon reseller on eBay with a 1 year...

    Canon 7D and Noise issue

    I don't know whether I'm being fussy here but I've only recently upgraded from my 40D to a 7D and was having a play earlier with a 50mm 1.4. Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of noise in the shadows for an ISO 200 shot? This is the original RAW file with no post-processing. Linky...

    Overclocking in a BitFenix Prodigy case

    Thanks for the reply. So to clarify, a 4.0 Ghz+ overclock with an i7 or i5 should be achievable? I'll be gaming and doing a bit of video processing so the overclock would definitely be coming in handy. Is 2x8GB RAM going to limit things a lot?

    Overclocking in a BitFenix Prodigy case

    So it's been a few years since I upgraded my hardware and really like the look of a few things out there - this case being one of them. The thing is, I've changed circumstances a bit since my last setup so a some faster processing would definitely come in handy, perhaps and i7, for video...

    2.1 speakers, £100 range?

    Are the Aegos still a winner? Can't believe the power clarity that comes out of them!

    Good quality Canon glass with a budget of around £400

    ^ This I got a 17-55mm second hand and judging by the prices on the bay, I'd get my money back at least. 24mm is too long for a crop body to be useful and close-to-medium range.

    Yes - probably more than I should have done? :o

    Cheers guys - this seems to have done the trick!

    Error Message - Lens or Body?

    Thanks, I'll give this a go. Just a bit strange that it only happens over a certain focal length?
