sorry to bump, but i need the pc to do work whats wrong with it?

Trying to install windows 7 on a new setup (intel quad Q8200, Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L, 4gb corsair XMS2, Sapphire HD4870, 500gb seagate barracuda, Coolermaster 460W eXtreme Power Plus PSU) and it gave blue screen. Now it doesn't boot. The lights near the ram do not light up for more than a...

Will a 400W PSU be enough for an intel quad core system, 4GB DDR2 ram, and an ATI 4850? Probably won't be overclocking it. If not what wattage will I need?

This fits me within budget, but I need to buy a monitor too. At the moment, I have a roughly 1:1:1:1... ratio of prices. (obviously not the optical included in that)

As a general rough template, what should the ratio of prices of components be for a pc for gaming, work and browsing be. I need to buy a pc and monitor with a £500 budget, but don't want to pay too much for certain components if i'm not going to get the most out of them. Obviously theres no...

Ok its looking a lot better now. Should I go for a corsair psu, i've heard theyre good. Problem is it brings me over the £500 budget

As the title says, what wattage of PSU will I need. And can you reccomend me one? Also are there any major errors in my choice of setup, I need a PSU still and a case but im not worried about how good the case is. I got a budget of £500 so I have a little more room for spending if theres...

I shan't be OCing at all. I assume the phenom iis are a lot better judging by the price. I can only afford a dual core phenom ii. will the speed make up for the loss of 2 cores? so taking on board all your advice I've now got this setup in the basket. http://i34.tinypic.com/15gs2o5.png Any...

What mobo would you reccomend? I'm never sure what to shop for in a mobo, that one seemed to have everything I need, anything more like extra sata ports, extra pci ports etc wouldn't get used and i'd feel like i was wasting my money. Also when you say it's instable, would the pc crash etc. What...

Hi I'm going to build a PC with a budget of £500 (including a monitor, but no keyboard/mouse/speakers) Will be used for some word processing, itunes, browsing and gaming. This is what I've got at the moment: http://i33.tinypic.com/153oavn.jpg Is there any way I could improve that for my...

Na i think its digital, its got a picture of a digital step next to it, as opposed to an analogue wave. Thanks

This is quite a silly question, but better safe than sorry. My laptop had a DVI socket on it, if I buy a HDMI-DVI cable, can I display my laptop screen on my TV (which has a HDMI socket)? Or is the process more complicated than this?

1, If instead of buying 2 of the same sets of 3 sticks of ram, could I buy 3 sets of 2 sticks? Assuming the individual sticks from the sets of 2 are still superior to the individual sticks from the sets of 3. 2, If I had 2 (or perhaps 4 or 5) sticks and a triple channel mobo, would it still...

If thats the case then why is it turning off now even thought the laptop is cool.

well it was warm when it did it the first time, and now, from cold, it wont even be on for a minute or 2 before it turns off. will removing the dust set it straight or will the first overheat have caused some damage?

A friend of mines laptop won't boot, it usually gets as far as a plain black screen with a white command line at the top. Then it turns itself off. I tried to get to the bios screen and it turned itself off. I also tried booting it from a CD, same fate. Booting from mains without battery...

I'm looking to get a new external HDD, 1tb maybe? The LaCie ones in the OCUK shop are relatively cheap and no one's reviewed them, is there something I should know about that company that accounts for the low price and lack of reviews?

It will propagate at the speed of light, this isn't saying it will displace at the speed of light, just its gravitational influence will propagate at the speed of light. So if a black hole formed, you wouldnt feel it until the time it takes for a photon to reach you from it. There's lots of...

This years was 18th-20th of July. But not sure about next years. I assume roughly the same time.
