    Deathadder Sometimes Double Clicks when I Single Click

    I had a Razer Deathadder for something like 6 years, tried a bunch of others and it remains my favourite mouse. Around a year ago it developed a fault where it would frequently double click when I only meant to single click. Unfortunately, this new one has started to do the same occasionally, I...

    OCUK's new website

    Went to pull the trigger on a couple of SSDs I was eyeing and ended up buying them on the MM instead. It's horrific! It's busy and cluttered, hard to navigate and you don't know where to look when you first load the page. But for me, a big draw of OcUK when I first started buying here many...

    New Site Feedback

    Oh god it's horrible! I loved the simplicity before, now it's far too busy and unpleasant to navigate. Just bought a couple of SSDs on the MM rather than trying to find them again on the site. I appreciate the work, but honestly, you've just cluttered it up and made it less intuitive. When...

    Fault Finding a BSOD

    They finally got back to me, seems it'll go off regardless of what they do, word processing, Internet, whatever. Memtest turned up fine after 5 passes. It's got to be a dodgey driver I think, but literally the only things they have plugged in that I don't are a bluetooth adapter and a wireless...

    Fault Finding a BSOD

    These are all things I'd like to try to address, but first I need to know I can make it crash, otherwise there's no way of telling if I fixed it at all. If it were the RAM being incorrectly configured, what's the best way of triggering a BSOD in Windows?

    Fault Finding a BSOD

    Memtest shows up fine but I'll give it another run to be sure. Good call on the voltage, I'll take a look when I've finished backing up. Seems strange that it would run so reliably here though. I'm thinking it might be some peripherals plugged in on their end, perhaps a dodgey driver for a...

    Fault Finding a BSOD

    I built a computer for some friends of the family and have had nothing but trouble. I'm running Win7 and I've never had this kind of trouble. I built it, tested it for a while, no problems. Gave it to them, and I've had a string of reports of problems and BSODs. Bear in mind that my first...

    How to run a 20A circuit from mains power?

    You could do it with less, thing is, a 2200W will bring a 2L kettle full of water to the boil in about a minute, but bringing 23L to the boil would take some serious time on only one element! It does only take a tiny amount to keep it on the boil though. I might just take the easy route and have...

    How to run a 20A circuit from mains power?

    My friend's a spark so I'll be sure to get him in on this, I'm pretty comfortable with electrics, but I know virtually nothing about proper house wiring, and I'd like my house to continue not being on fire! And I should probably put aside talk of growing drugs, I'm only likely to get in trouble...

    How to run a 20A circuit from mains power?

    So I'd basically be adding in a dedicated ring main and using one of those high-current sockets? Sounds doable! They can be individually wired and ran off different sockets with no problem, however I'd like to run them both through the same SSR so they can be adjusted together. The problem with...

    How to run a 20A circuit from mains power?

    Probably shouldn't go into the reasons, but it's essentially two 2200W heating elements in parallel being controlled by a solid state relay so I can adjust the power of both at once from nothing up to 4400W.

    How to run a 20A circuit from mains power?

    My house wiring can't keep up! Basically, I'm building something which is going to draw 20A of power from the mains. As I understand it, a normal plug will only handle 13A on it's own. If I wanted to power this device in my house, how would I do so?

    No Video Output on New Build

    Second GPU worked! If you hadn't have reminded me about no onboard video on CPUs I might have spent ages going down the wrong route! I wonder what's wrong with the old 6950? They were both working when I pulled them and were boxed together, seems about right that my old trusty one would work though!

    No Video Output on New Build

    Thanks Stulid, I wasn't sure whether onboard graphics worked with just an ordinary CPU, that opens up more possibilities. I've been using a 6950 I've had in cold storage for a while, I have spare so I'll test that too now that the GPU is looking like more of a possibility! Both the CPU power...

    No Video Output on New Build

    Most common problem in the book I know, but it's even harder to fix when you decide to build a motherboard with no POST speaker header! I can't believe they'd do this, and there's no way I would have bought it if I knew. Guess I should have researched more, but this is a standard that I really...

    Help, Computer build not working :(

    I'd say breadboard it. Take it out of the chassis and place it on a cardboard box, install CPU, cooler, RAM, hook it up to a monitor and switch it on. If it doesn't turn on automatically- great! Plug in a power switch or short the two front panel switch pins with a screwdriver- make sure that...

    Just refitted my TJ07

    What do you mean exactly? I cut the front panel on my school's laser cutter from a single sheet, then glued on 'tabs' with drilled holes that you secure like an optical drive- it's not the original front panel! The real problem for me was the side panel, I'm sure mine just don't fit!

    Just refitted my TJ07

    I replaced her for the practicality of the Cosmos II, but I came back to her in the end! It was so dull and soulless. It takes a lot of effort to do anything with the TJ07, before the modding I did very recently it took around 10 mins to get the right side panel on! But I'm so happy I changed...

    Just refitted my TJ07

    About a year ago I shelved my lovely old TJ07 for a Cosmos II, and sure, it was a hell of a lot easier to work on (minus the lack of removable motherboard tray) but it was just so boring to look at! After going to sell my modded TJ07 I found that nobody really wanted to buy them anymore, and...
