A swear word. Stop using it, you offend me.

On the other side, I've never heard my 360 for the game I'm playing or film I'm watching... And I've only had a red light when I've managed to pull the AV cable out by mistake!

Lol! I just keep getting tons of the flipping things!

Then I can do you a Pentium M ~1.7GHz with 1GB RAM for £200...

Pentium Hot-Oven. Loved my old Pentium D, thought it was s**t hot. Clocked it 400Mhz with only slight increase in temp of around 10 degrees! I loved the clock speed wars, proper evil for Power consumption!!

I got a Dell Latitude D620 with 2.33Ghz Core2Duo processor and 2GB RAM going for £400... Not a better buy out there TBH!

FPMSL at 690kg. Bless ya.

As above, if your computer is capable of running Vista then use it - I don't dislike XP but I certainly much prefer using my Vista laptop to my XP work laptop.

BitDefender isn't too bad - I've found Sophos better but for the money BitDefender really is a quality product.

It's just a very tight fit.

Are they self-issued? Have you checked the certification path?

Certs have expired mate.

Want a replacement? £75 for a Dell Optiplex GX270 - will take your disk and memory...

Well, after a few days of scratching my head and wondering what the hell was wrong, I've managed to establish that my Sky HD's power supply is on the way out. Bulging capacitors causing interference - common problem. New PSU on order as I'm not paying for a new box, but the downside is I'm...

Graphics cards don't have thermal protection in the same way as CPUs do, and they don't get hot unless doing anything particularly challenging. They'd pixelate a long time before they turned off completely.

It does indeed have an SATA port...

As mentioned above, power supply would then be my next port of call, followed by motherboard. However, if it gets as far as the power supply on a 2.8GHz Celeron, bin it. I've got a complete Celeron 2.8GHz system you can have for £75 and it works.

Processor will only cook itself if it's an old skool AMD, as all Pentium 3/4 and Celeron of that generation had thermal protection.

Why do you need a new processor? or new memory? Have you actually tried replacing the heatsink as suggested?

No movement at all on S775, and yes it could do. I had a Pentium D that went to thermal shutdown after 7 seconds with no heatsink on.
