That's very similar to me in terms of spec. Asus Rampage III with an i7 965 and 12GB of Dominator memory. I did in the past think about chucking a 990X in for the lolz - but they command a hefty premium still - certainly far more than any of the benefits that the extra 2 cores and stock clock...

^^^ - this. I'll put money on it that if sounds anything like water sloshing towards the front of the car, it will be the area under the washer bottle that's clogged with crap. There's a simple drainage hole at the bottom and it's very easy for dead leaves and other debris to clog this up. Both...

That's bugging me a bit too. I much preferred the 'tell me what updates are available first' mentality of the previous Windows.

I was going to say @H182 - but I doubt it with that reg.

That's the bit I don't really understand. I've got pictures dumped from various memory cards saved in multiple areas. Once fibre gets into our apartment block (next month if all goes well!) - I'll be uploading them to some cloud-storage, probably iCloud to keep things more straight-forward. I'm...

We've had a few Silverlight issues with Edge at work - strange with it being a Microsoft product too. One of the order portals for customers is throwing its toys out - though it's fine with other browsers such as Firefox. Not so much with Chrome as Google refuse to support it any more. Not...

Tried 8 (steaming turd) and 8.1 (just turd). I could never get my head around the removal of useful things and death-by-pointless additions on the other hand. That two-tier interface was pointless as it was silly. You're either a touch-screen device - or not. You're a diesel car or a petrol one...

@Jeff simply 's comment - the more you use it - the more you'll loose. Very true. There's a chance that some of the data is still there after a reformat or disk failure, but the more usage it has, the more likely that sectors of the disk are being written over and lost forever. As others have...

Spot on m8. When the 'ol girl gets her next service, I'll get a full set of each ordered, I reckon :smile: Cheers, D.

I must be missing something? Why would you 'go back to previous operating system' if you've just done a fresh install? If the previous install is corrupt, it will simply make your new install nice and corrupt too, if you revert back to it. If it took me weeks of struggling, I'd still persevere...

Not bad at all that, Russ. You don't do replacement OEM damper sets either, do you? The fronts have been on a while...

Have you got any pics of the damage? Cats 'can' scratch paintwork - but that's usually confined to the bonnet or the roof. Even then, it's quite rare for them to mark it. Would be interesting to see what's been done. I'm not doubting it - just a bit unusual given the extent that you say the...

Definitely sounds like it's gone. Unless you've got one of the ultra-high end laptops with twin drives that cost a bloody fortune, I'd strongly believe that your data has gone. What @iain187 suggested initially is perhaps the best solution. If diskpart doesn't 'see' the disk - you've pretty...

@Russ_16v - what price would I be looking at for a full set on the 182, m8? My current Sportlines have been on for years and are probably getting a bit tired now. Cheers, D.

Not as much as I should tbh. I hasn't actually been 'released' as a full product yet though, has it? Seems weird that it's in a state of perpetual alpha and I'm a little unsure as to when it will ever be complete. I also used to use the keyboard on the previous Flatout games and was pretty handy...

@cs_rich - you're definitely using the Pro version or above, are you? The Home Edition doesn't support RD - as seen in the chart below:- http://wincom.blob.core.windows.net/documents/Win10EditionsCompareTable_FINAL.pdf

Sounds like you're having real issues, Mike. But Windows 10 is a real step forward. It's more slick and focused than 7 and light years ahead of the horrendous 8 that preceded it. As Andy says, there will always be issues with a new OS. I experience the weird 'not booting' issue that @Gareth has...

I think I recall that mission on the 360 version. I failed it a couple of times but then ended up in part of the sewer that the Feds had difficulty getting too. I sat there with sirens blaring in the background and just waited for the threat level to drop to nothing. Once done, I simply coasted...

I like how they are addressing issues with the existing game, rather than ignoring them and simply churning out additional DLC car packs. Good stuff. Kicked off the patch last night (PC) but not had chance to try it yet.

First full reformat on Wednesday night - pretty impressive with the speed. Took 19 minutes from the start to get to a point where I had a working Windows 10. Obviously, then I started adding things like Chrome and Steam, etc - but it certainly didn't take long. Had a bit of an issue with the...

Could be. It did seem to have a 'gushing' review in this month's edition. What do you actually need 48GB of dedicated gfx memory for in gaming, in 2015?

I've had that a couple of times. It goes through the start up process - the blue Windows icon appears and then the screen just goes black. The monitor is still 'connected' and not going into standby - and keys like NumLock and CapsLock can be enabled and disabled. I'm thinking that points more...

Pretty cheap that.... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-001-8P Not really sure that the components justify the expense, really. And besides - if you could afford that level of kit - surely you'd want to build it yourself? Fair play that such kit exists in the first...

Looks like Creative Labs are keeping to their driver roll-out. I noticed a specific Windows 10 driver for my Recon3D being made available this morning - ironically after an update had killed all the audio on my PC outright. I'll be adding that to the reformat that I'm planning over the next few...

In order to rid of first... The Golf goes. It has nothing 'feature wise' that the Audi already doesn't. Nothing particularly outstanding about them either. The Audi goes. Get an ear-chewing off the missus, but it should at least have a decent resale value to line your pocket with monies. The...

Lemmings induced rage for me. I could cope with the first few levels and then that was it!

I know Pete Clarke well. He did the music for a lot of the Ocean branded games back in the day :) Not sure if Wizball was one of his though?

Don't forget Wizball too.... :)

Mine's always been the offside (driver's side) rear wheel. Never the nearside on the 182. Weird. I can tell that noise a mile-off now. :P

Chaps, Have you come across a set of wheel bolts that are in black? Ideally with a matching locking one too? After 11 years, mine are getting tired looking and a bit rusty. Cheers, D.
