It doesn't give me blue screen, it just freezes on whatever it's on, whereas before the graphics card install, it used to do that fuzzy s**t.

Like I say, it's been doing this for years now, before I upgraded windows 10, before I put the SSD in, and before I upgraded the graphics csrd. So I can't see how it's software related.

I have no idea what I am looking at in reliability history, other than it states hardware failure. Helpful. I left it running again this morning, and it crashed again after an hour

Managed to fire it back up, this is event viewer log

It used to do this ages back on Windows 7 too, so it's not a software issue.

DDR3 is probably cheap enough to just lob 2 new sticks in no?

Speaking of R19s, saw this earlier. I'd love one, but I bet there's about 5 left in England

Did you read above? I was working and it crashed, so plugged my work tower in. I haven't had time/inclination to swap everything back and try to look at the crash register yet.

Hmmmm. I didn't think about that. Probably the cheapest thing I can replace too

I won't be beaten 😂😂 Saying that I have had my spare tower from work this afternoon and it was lovely and quiet, unlike mine which sounds like a fuckin 747 taking off 😂😂😂

Oh my god. Fuckin f**k this piece of s**t PC. Triggers broom bunch of b****cks. Just frozen again doing the clicky clicky noise through the speakers. The temps for the processor had been stable at 42deg. I honestly don't know what else it could be and I'm getting frustrated with it now.

Not yet. Mainly because I haven't a clue how to access it, or what I would be looking for 😂

Seems I had forgotten that I unplugged the power cables for the CPU 😂 All back together now and working. Seems to be holding temps better on the processor too, so fingers crossed that's the glitch fixed, otherwise I'm likely to hoy it out of the window on the M62 and let an Amazon lorry smash it...

Soooooo, I took the heatsink off, cleaned off old paste as it was patchy as f**k. Put fresh paste on, put it all back together, and now it just trips out when I try to turn it on. The fans spin and within a second it just cuts out. Great.

Yup, those were going to be tonight's steps

So, @Yorkshire Pudding kindly sent me over so some graphics cards. I've installed an Azus jobbie, and it seems to be working. But, it's just froze and did a clicky clicky clicky through the speakers. No fuzzy screens, but just jammed. I think the CPU is ballsed. Checked the temps and it's...

I did try Express VPN before, but it didn't seem to work. Although that could have been the provider, not the VPN. I will have to try again

I absolutely love these things. Proper weapons.

There's never been such a more Scottish sentence

We still have iptv via Wicked, but every time there's a fuckin football match on it stops working. Dunno whether a VPN would work, or whether its getting blocked on their end

Isn't that 96? I thought 93 was L?

Sorted. A quick phonecall with a lovely welsh woman. £Signed up to a new contract, same name etc, same price. Happy with that!!

No. Because its half 10 at night and I only just saw the email lol

Does anyone work for Virgin? My usual package is 100mb broadband at £27 a month, but my contract is out 09/01/21 and they have upped it to £49 a month which is a pisstake. New customers can get the same deal on 18m contract for £27. I'm happy to sign up to an 18m contract, but do they honestly...

Lovely. So does it have a 93 plate?

Out of interest, what was the 32 traded against, and how much did you allow for it?

Hence "i know its a different era" 😂 Has covid melted your eyes?

I know it's a different era, but DAYUM look at that
