It's set at + 1.8v and is running at 1.77v! However CPU2 is running at 1.33! We can't change it via BIOS either. Help! I'm bamboozled by this!

We've fitted a psu and gpu and it's changed to that on it's own! How would I change it?

Thank you very much! Would you advise changing the voltage going to the cpu or could that just cause more problems?

I've just been advised by someone from YOYOtech (shop on Tottenham court road, London) to get some thermal paste. What brand of paste can you reccomend? Thanks for your help Davo and nice Avatar!

Please help, before it goes POP!

Do you advise to get a new case or fans or what? I'm a hardware n00b and don't want to fry the Missus compy!

Quote from AtomAnt :

Oh the Posts I start...another story...post it they can read it in Micro secs.

Hehe......

Sorry mate, I'm not posting my dark past on here!

Your read 144 words in 0.47 minutes. Your reading speed is 306 words per minute!

I need glasses as well, so expect that to jump about 30 with goggles!

A great book is Marijuana time by Ken Lukiowak(spelling?) Made me ROFL even though I was in prison at the time, but that's another story

Does look nice though...

Working in retail myself, if this twat comes into my shop, i'd just punch him in the face and say 'Youtube sucks more than your mother, you attention whore!'

Me and the Missus last night were installing a new gpu and psu, so I feel your pain!

Shows you what taking 80 LSD tabs a day does to your mind...

It's actually the missus's! My 1.6ghz p4 with 40 gig hdd and 64mb shared graphics card and 256 sdram doesn't like lfs

doesn't work for me either

You also need over 10000 miles... 'pisses on bonfire'

You need to have S2. Sorry mate

This is the Vista rating for the compy that's getting the aforementioned gpu:

NOD32 it is then, by the looks of it. Thank you all for help

Will take that one into consideration

Which is the best all in one anti virus available? I'm looking for something that is ideally free, but isn't going to let the missus compy get flooded with cack.

£0.00! The missus however spent £160 ish

It's from overclockers so if it don't work, I'll be sending it straight back with an angry e-mail
