Will find out in the morning when I ring them. It's more the principle of the thing. When I took out the policy told that when NCB was restored it would be applied and premium adjusted, then told (today) that would not be the case. Threatened ombudsman/cancel and a few hours later offered £70...

Fair enough, but I'll probably save more by cancelling the policy and going somewhere else, with 5 more payments left. All I'd have lost is 1 years no claims, which doesn't make much difference in the grand scheme of things seeing as 5 years amounted to around 12% off according to the Broker. I...

Just an update for anyone who caught what I mentioned about my insurance woes. Today I called the broker, told them my outstanding claim had been settled as a non fault and NCB restored (which had been dropped from 8 years to 3). When I took the policy out I made clear and was advised that when...

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah the previous insurer initially only gave 7 years but amended to 8 after I got back in touch (more running around...), now this. Will wait to see what they come back with but I think the Ombudsman is worth a shot. I have to say through the whole process only the...

Anyone else had a claim outstanding when they took out an insurance policy on a Bike? I did when I took mine out in may this year, was told (after asking) that when the policy gets settled there should be a reduction in premium. The insurer now isn't playing ball after the claim was settled as a...

Oops, missed the registry key (that was listed on M$ site): KeyPath : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers KeyValue : TdrLevel ValueType : REG_DWORD ValueData : TdrLevelOff (0) - Detection disabled TdrLevelBugcheck (1) - Bug check on detected timeout, for...

Thx Humbug but I managed to expand the atikmdag.sy_ thing fine, put it into the Windows/ System 32/drivers (whichever folder it says anyway) and rebooted, all as per instructions. When windows reloaded it states that there is no driver for the AMD card in there. At the moment I have pulled...

Tried the expand atikmdag.sy_ as listed above and it doesn't seem to work - when rebooting Windows reports no driver for the AMD card. Stumped. And hung over. Not a good combination.

Will give that a bash, cheers. And the BSOD I'm getting is same as yours.

Agreed - but there are limits to what I can spend on birthday for an 11 year old :( I looked at going the whole way, mboard cpu, cooler, memory etc, but on top of the card, case and power supply t'was gonna get silly. So yeah, bottleneck for now, but Santa will bring him something nice for sure :)

Yeah will stick that (try in mine) on the list o stuff to do. Got various other options to try (power supplies, windows reinstall, two systems etc) just need to find time. Am sure this is a driver thing though. I think.:rolleyes:

Tried it :( Same result (BSOD) at least in Chrome. Could try Firefox and see what happens there. At the moment he's got his old card (6870) back in and happily on Minecraft/Youtube. When I get chance I will pull out a stack of hard drives to make room in my box and try these cards in...

Today (actually, yesterday now) I got my bike back from the fixers. Had an off (Swiss guy on Z750 tried to go through rather than around me on the Isle of Man at Guthries) on 1st June (Mad Sunday, though it was more like quiet and then foggy Sunday). Been a nightmare ever since. Insurance was...

Oh, and nothing on his box is overclocked. All stock. I was gonna do the CPU next (G0 stepping, if I recall they are better for overclock) to 3.0ghz but need to get this sorted first.

I have powercool x-viper 750w and antec 550, plus generic no names of greater than 500w to try. The box has: Motherboard P5n-D, Q6600 (stock), 2x2gb ram, DVD drive (never used as far as I know), a Samsung 840 SSD, video card (was HD6870, now trying these R9 290). 2 x 12cm fans, cpu fan...

Sorry guys, I should explain better (had been at the damn thing all day and was tired when I posted). My Son has an old (Q6600, running at 2.4, 4gb ram, W7 x64, Samsung 840 SSD, nothing else in the box) PC I thought would tide him over till Xmas, and in the meantime (his birthday) get him a...

Been reading through the various problems that people have had with Blue Screens of Death/Youtube/Flash video both here and elsewhere. Unfortunately this was after I'd bought a pair of used R9 290s. D'oh. Can anyone suggest a driver version that will not produce the BSOD (A0000001) error? Tried...

I'd much prefer knowing that the road tax, fuel duty, any insurance premium tax **** take garbage and everything else motorists be slapped with are going directly back into maintaining and improving the road network. Pipe dream. Bumping road tax up by a tenner each with that promise (roads and...

K1200s a good bike. One of the guys I went to Isle of Man with has one and it served us well when I was knocked off mine. Rider 6'5, me as pillion 6'4, 30 odd stone between us and it still pulled well :)

They do a 'bagger' version of the rocket for touring. Guy I know bought one of each (normal and touring). Probably something to do with the size of his willy or something :) They do draw crowds though, like Gold Wings and expensive Ducatis.
