You have a very compact PC I see:



Which means you would need a "low profile" graphics card, otherwise it won't fit.

Also you can't buy anything super demanding, as your PSU probably won't be up to it. I'd say anything under 40 - 50 quid would be as powerful as you could go.

Edit: First you should check if there is even a graphics slot (AGP / PCI-e) inside.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T RACE THERE? STOP ABUSING YOUR POWERS! WHY BRING IT UP IN PUBLIC?!??!

Nah just kidding lol. Rules are rules. On the subject of relegation, I was worrying about that until today's race. Points at last.

Thought I'd sign up too, and give some more competition.

It will be interesting to see how the designers sculpt the shape of the car without all the winglets to direct the airflow.

The Massa spin was very, very strange. I've watched an onboard of it several times now, and I'm 95% certain he didn't lose the car from mashing the throttle too much. The corner is too fast for the wheels to spin up enough for it to spin as suddenly as it did. Also worth noting is that the engine revs rose a tiny bit, then dropped instantly which to me looked to have initiated the spin.

Edit: He may also have span the wheels a little under power, and in a haste to correct it he took his foot off the throttle suddenly, which caused the engine braking to lock up the rear wheels.

Watch the high quality video. It's blatently obvious he's punching the air. I don't understand why people see it differently, other than what Heikki said afterwards. You don't punch a visor tear-off with your fist do you?

And he would hardly want a fresh visor with only one lap remaining...

It's the rev limiter's fault.

Massa was in Coulthard's slipstream, and was pulling alongside until he hit the revlimiter in 7th gear and couldn't move further down the inside of Coulthard.

From lostpedia:

General
  • Where did the bodies come from for the fake Oceanic 815 crash?
On the Freighter
  • What did Keamy ask Frank if he's ready about?
  • Where did Frank go with the helicopter?
  • What was the nature of Regina's condition?
  • Whose blood was on the wall of Desmond and Sayid's new room?
  • How did Michael come to be part of the crew?
  • Why were Sayid and Desmond warned not to trust the captain?
    • Is the captain telling the truth?
  • Who (or what) was making the noise that Sayid noted "was not mechanical"?
Flashforward
  • Is Jin really dead? If so, how did he die and why does his tombstone list the date of the crash as his date of death?
  • Why is Hurley so glad to hear no one else would be joining Sun and himself?
  • Why is Sun's ring in a bag labeled "권성혜", and not her own name (백선화)?

Crap, that episode just opened up a whole lot more questions.

The cable is a "phono" cable. http://search.ebay.co.uk/searc ... p;satitle=phono+extension

I have the X-230 speakers at Uni, and they sound suprisingly powerful for the price. They are basically the same as yours except with 3 extra satellites. The subwoofer is a bit overpowering on anything above minimum, so I don't normally set it any higher.

As for specific setting's, when you have reasonable speakers, you should always IMO use a flat equalizer and any other settings related to sound at default.

Personally I don't really like the current trend towards sub + satellite arrangement that a lot of speakers currently have. At home I was lucky enough to be given some Celestion Ditton 44 Series II speaker's which sound superb but weigh 20 Kg each. Looked around on the internet to see if any were on ebay and it seems the series II model is very rare. Only pic I found was of an abused and dismantled one.

Quote from pecholobo :This is a track bug, isn't my fault but it's true, crosses a few moral values.

Today I've erased 2 SC hotlaps in that I've used the wall to brake and have updated them again without using the wall. In the next days I will update all my hotlaps in SC in which I use the wall, but the problem will continue existing and if nobody uses the wall to improve the laps Scawen will not arrange the problem.

What about the fact that everyone of your hotlaps uses a button clutch / macro to change gear at blistering speed?

Either use autoclutch like most people, or use a clutch PEDAL. Anything else is cheating imo.

OK I have tried the card in another decent PC, and it's definately fubar. It didn't even send any signal to the monitor before the fan went into turbocharged mode.

If I send it back will they know if I tried to overclock it?

The cables are fine, nothing seems to be overheating, I can't smell anything. I know the graphics card is not overheating either, as when it did boot into windows the last time, the temps were fine.

Right well I can't see how it can be the PSU now, as I have just unplugged everything else which isn't needed (Case fans and CD Drive), and the problem remains.

Auto Engineering. It's a 7900GS. Can't get it to boot to windows at all now.

Bump. This is still happening occasionally. In fact atm I am on my laptop because the desktop will not stay on for more than 5 seconds before the gfx fan going mental and the moniter signal dying.

I was having a shower an hour ago, and left the PC on. I came back to find no signal to my monitor and the graphics card fan running at what sounded like 100%. I tried rebooting, and it got halfway into loading XP when the monitor lost the signal input again and the gfx fan went mental again.

After booting into safe mode successfully on the second attempt, I tried again to boot into windows normally, and everything is fine again.

My question is, WTF just happened?!

I've looked at temps and stuff in rivatuner and everything looks completely normal...
