    Infinite boot loop / BIOS corruption on shutdown.

    Was working fine and without abnormal use. I would wager it more likely a total hardware failure. Since this, the board continued to fail until ultimately not turning on at all, without any hard-reset having an effect. The board has been mothballed to be sold for parts. It's such a shame...

    How can I protect someone from support scammers?

    Aside from the suggestions provided so far. Ask your friend/family member to report it Action Fraud. If enough people report these incidents then they will be made aware and do something about it. Provide them the exact details to help them collate information...

    Infinite boot loop / BIOS corruption on shutdown.

    Not able to remove the update unfortunately. It seems to give an error whether I try to remove it via the Windows Update recovery or whether I try a force remove in the command line.

    Infinite boot loop / BIOS corruption on shutdown.

    Been having some issues with a problem regarding my Windows 10 system booting infinitely. It appears to happen on shut-down and started on the 12/01/17 out of the blue. 1. Using PC normally. 2. Shutdown using the in-OS soft reset button. 3. Seemingly shutdowns normally. 4. The next day, or...

    2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers 11/15 October *** Spoilers ***

    A fun game to watch, a few iffy moments in defense but baines and townsend really shone. I don't think I can really single out a player tonight who didn't perform good to great. Multitudes better than our usual offering.

    Best gaming headset to match with my Xonar d2

    I believe that 7.1/8.1/100.1 whatever surround sound headsets are gimmicks. Overpriced, usually tacky headphones that are generally surpassed by Stereo Headphones + Internal Soundcard + External Microphone combos. I bought a soundcard, paired it with my Goldring DR150's and USB Blue Snowball...

    Upgrading my BenQ G2420HDB

    Looking for some advice in selecting a monitor for around £450. The main purpose for the monitor is for the use in Digital Art/Photoshop and for multimedia with occasional gaming, so a IPS panel for colour accuracy is a must. I've heard good things with Dells, but also heard some of the issues...

    Benq 2420HDb > Asus PA248Q?

    I've been having problems in that a few years ago, I bought a fairly cheap benq G2420HDb (Out of production now I think), as my main monitor and to be honest, it's served it's purpose well. However, Recently I bought a Cintiq 12wx tablet which is expensive because of the IPS panel or whatever...

    WAE+?

    A month later and I'm still waiting for a refund. However... I rang them up yesterday and told them that if they didn't process my refund by 10:30am this morning that I would proceed with legal action, as I was entitled do (because as of tomorrow, it would be breaching consumer laws etc)...

    WAE+?

    Aye, I'm stupid for not checking. I'm confident I'll get my dosh back but it's a dodgy ponzi scheme they got going there. They instantly take payment before dispatching for delivery. I'm fairly sure even other small companies have an holding account, so I don't see how it can take 2-3 weeks for...

    WAE+?

    I recently bought a Wacom tablet from a website called WAE+. I unfortunately failed to do my research and discovered that the company has an incredibly poor track record in delivery/refunds/customer service and generally it stands out as incredibly dodgy. (The fact it's parent company We are...

    Has anyone been to North Korea?

    I would only ever go there just to say I've been to North Korea. ;)

    5870 > ?

    Other symptoms include the colour-tint of the monitor changing between various shades every so often, occasional graphical driver crashes and terrible fps in various games, a lot of BSOD's and Flash driver crashing as well. Only thing I've not done yet is reinstall the OS, just not had the time.

    Temps as far monitoring goes have been fine and dandy. Nothing abnormal. Unless you would consider 64 degrees celcius in Eve Online out of the norm.

    5870 > ?

    I'm currently using a stock-clocked 5870, however I'm confident it's slowely dying. I've owned it since feb 2010 and it's on a slippery slope. I've got a budget of £150-£200, or so, and I'm looking for an an AMD card to upgrade to. Which of the £100-£200 range would people recommend? I've...

    I understand the occasional error in the walls of text, but how can they miss that?
