    Occasional stutters

    I've noticed when playing Deux Ex Human revolution (and I am sure I have had this problem with previous games too). That during game play I get a short stutter in performance. This happens when the auto-save feature activates but also at some other times. I am running the game at quite low...

    Wake on LAN strange problem

    Hi, That's a good suggestion, thanks. I don't think this is what is happening though or otherwise the locally sent packets wouldn't wake the PC either? Thanks, Brian

    Wake on LAN strange problem

    Hi - thanks for your reply. The PC on the local network is on a fixed IP. Obviously my Internet address can change but hasn't since I set all this up as I have checked. I haven't actually measured how long until it stops doing it as it's quite difficult to measure but I will give it a go.

    Wake on LAN strange problem

    I have a problem with Wake On LAN (WOL) and wonder if anyone can help? First of all I'll explain the setup. The PC I am trying to Wake uses a Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard with an onboard network card which does support WOL. It is connected to a CISCO WRT320N router which is in...

    AMD 101?

    Very true - you're better off going with high clock speeds. Photoshop does appear to use multiple cores if you have a billion pounds just sitting around.

    Computer won't show any signs of power

    Almost definetly the PSU nut if you do want to test the switch you can remove the connector fom the header and just connect the pins with a peice of wire or a copper coin. Just be careful to only touch those to pins together.

    AMD 101?

    I've recently got a Gigabyte board with the latest AMD chipset and it's solid as a rock, even overclocked. It already supports USB3 (NEC chip) and 6 core CPUs AMD have recently released.

    comparison of fants/heatsinks with stock i7 965 fan?

    I know this isn't a direct answer to your question but if you are considering a 3rd party cooler and want to know noise levels for them this is a good site - I've ordered from them loads of times they are really good: http://www.quietpc.com/

    Computer powers on just after shutdown

    Thanks for the comments. AC back was set to memory so I have set it to soft-off. Will have to see how that goes for a while. I'll post up with any results.

    Computer powers on just after shutdown

    Wonder if anyone can help? I've got a bit of an odd problem with my newly built PC. Most of the time (but not every time) I shut it down it only powers off for a split second and then restarts. It's important to note this is different than restarting the machine as the power does actually...

    Graphics card upgrade

    Cool - thanks again. My PSU is 480W so should be OK and it has one fully sheilded cable ending in a 4 PIN thats off it's own rail so that should be perfect.

    Graphics card upgrade

    Cheers, I was looking at that card, does seem good. My PSU doesn't have a 6pin but I see the card actually comes with a converter from a 4 pin molex (not exactly the same I know but if the card itself comes with it you would think it would be OK?).

    Graphics card upgrade

    Hey, Thanks for your reply (even though it's not what I wanted to hear :) It's not really cost that's the issue it's that I want a quiet (or silent) card. I take it you would say the same roughly about this card then: http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/vga-cards/sap-hd4670-ult
