    Ram problem

    I've got a 5820k which I've used as my Windows PC since 2015. A couple of years ago it became a bit temperamental and wouldn't always boot, sometimes beeping memory errors at me. I solved this by removing one of the 4x4GB sticks in the machine - I can't remember the logic behind which particular...

    Android downloading hundreds of background images

    I've got a cheap Huawei P20 lite phone - it basically works. It fairly recently updated itself to EMUI 9.1 Since then my photos album has been slowly filling up with stock "desktop" background images - the ones it uses on lock screens etc... I reckon about 600 of them now. I can't seem to stop...

    Cheap Gaming PC in late 2018...

    Really cheap. Really! I'm not talking about wanting a "last word in detail/fps" machine here, but I do want it to be easily quick enough to run everything new that comes out for the next couple of years, at 1080p, and at as close to 60fps as possible at (say) medium settings. I'll have a...

    Cheap Gaming PC in late 2018...

    So what's the deal these days? My brother is looking to replace his aging computer with something, and fancies playing a few games - most likely some FPS games, pubg, that kind of thing. I'm pretty out of touch with the low price gear, and I've no idea what to recommend or put together for...

    Folder views/columns in Windows 10

    This has been doing my nut in for years now, and I can never seem to get it sorted.. I seem to have at some point fixed it in certain folders, but whenever I plug in a new hard drive it's the same nonsense each time. I only ever want to see file type, file size, date modified and date created...

    VGA monitor not working with Windows 10

    Hey all, I usually run my windows 10 desktop with an HDMI (1920x1080) monitor - it works fine. I also use that monitor when I go away to work elsewhere, so I swap in my old 24", 1920x1200 LCD screen, which only has a VGA in. Every single time I do this I have to play a little game with the...

    What memory does this board support?

    Thanks Beers! Out of interest, why is this? If the motherboard can handle it, why doesn't it just work out the box?

    What memory does this board support?

    Ok.. but just to be clear, as the ram comes from the shop, is 2133mhz the fastest I can put in the machine? ie, if I bought 16gb if 2800mhz memory, it wouldn't work? But if I overclocked the 2133mhz module to 2800mhz that would work?

    What memory does this board support?

    I'm trying to put together a rough price list for a new computer, but as ever I'm struggling (I only look at computer specs once every 5 years, and once every 5 years I despair). http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5284#sp On this board it says it supports "DDR4 2800(O.C.)...

    Getting the best audio

    I would always try to get the audio out of the computer digitally - there's so much shit flying around you can almost guarantee something is going to get into an unbalanced analogue signal in a computer case. So spend your money on speakers with a digital input, and use whatever onboard...

    BAD Sound... HELP Please...

    It's something crapping out in your computer - it "sounds" very much like a cpu overload sounds when working with music software. Definitely not a wiring thing, or a speaker thing.

    USB 3.0 drives

    Hi all, I'm after a decent external usb3.0 drive. Ideally 4tb, but I'd buy a 2 or a 3 if I happen to be feeling cheap. Simply put, I want one with the "b" (?) format connector - the one that looks like a slightly bigger printer cable connector. I've broken two of those micro usb 3...

    Intermittent loss of bass

    Sounds to me like one speaker is occasionally going out of phase to me... Things that are in mono/panned centrally (notably (usually) the kick, snare, and bass) would cancel out, and everything else would sound weird (hollow would be a decent description of the sound - does it feel like your...

    PS4 or Xbox One?

    I hate to wade in here with a "that's nonsense" comment, but I just can't resist. I also don't really hate doing it. I put my last computer together 3 or so years ago - it was average at the time, and I spent somewhere in the region of £450 on it. My xbox dances rings around it graphically...

    Any ideas where I can find a 2013 Mac Pro??

    It's not that overpriced though! It does come with a lovely case (which is durable, and makes swapping out hdd's far easier than any tower I've ever used - although I'm sure there are plenty of PC cases which also do that). It also comes with (what I reckon is) the best mouse on sale, and a...

    Any ideas where I can find a 2013 Mac Pro??

    But you're not going to get a 12 core, dual xeon processor, built like a brick and near silent computer. The processors alone are (were, when I last tried to upgrade) hundreds. And even if I did, I'd have to spend my time researching it, assembling it, installing, re-installing software, and...

    Any ideas where I can find a 2013 Mac Pro??

    Couldn't make one for much less to be honest, and since I actually need to use it in the real and professional world to actually do work, I'll happily buy a real one - the third one in a row in fact. Just want to know where one could find one.

    Any ideas where I can find a 2013 Mac Pro??

    Hi all, So Apple are bring out their new mac pro - the stupid little cylindrical thing that has no pcie slots, no hard drive slots - I really don't want it. It seems completely pointless. What I want is a 2013 mac pro - one of the last "g5" looking towers. Apple stopped selling them in the...

    Logitech Z5500 back speakers and fornt speaker dont work?

    At the risk of sounding like a patronising twat - have you set the z5500s to something other than stereo?
