Hello folks, I have a very faithful Vortex III Elite from 2012 with two 680Ms in SLI and have never had any problems whatsoever...until yesterday Whilst simply browsing t'internet the screen froze and then the laptop rebooted into a BSOD automatically...it went into a cycle and then offered me...

Hello Folks, I recently purchased a WD Passport 2TB External Hard Drive and copied quite a lot of information onto it regarding my work. I have taken it away on one trip where it was carried in the same padded laptop rucksack as my computer itself and was not bumped or dropped in any way (as...

Hello Folks, Just out of interest, what computing mags do you read on a regular basis? The reason I am asking is that I get PC Gamer 'cos I tend to agree with their reviewers most of the time and also PC Format to keep up to date with new hardware doing the rounds. The only problem with PC...

Morning Folks, It would appear that I've caught the "tinker" bug again that all PCS forum members come down with occasionally.... I initially had a Vortex II laptop which had the Killer Networking Card installed in it. When I received my new machine with the Intel Ultimate Card inside I...

Morning Folks, Just a heads up on a problem I've just come across: Attempted to purchase Darkstar One from Gamersgate.co.uk and pay the £8.99 using my PayPal Account. The Payment was initially authorised, however an hour after I had downloaded the game, the payment was reversed by PayPal and...

Morning Folks, Just to let you know that the open Beta is now available for download for the new Nvidia utility - Geforce Experience This program will automatically scan your system for games/drivers etc and automatically keep things up to date. It also compares your current individual game...

Evening all, Anybody else finding the Forum slow to load up today? Seems very sluggish to me but the rest of my bookmarks seem fine and are as quick as usual. Done the usual and deleted cache and cookies but doesn't improve matters. Just wondering is all :)

Afternoon all, In case anybody is interested..... The signups for the Beta have started today at http://signup.elderscrollsonline.com/ They've also released quite a tasty new Video trailer here http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=R9C2uLspL9k I for one cannot wait for this...

Just a quick heads up for anybody in the UK who fancies watching the Video Gaming Awards 2012 on TV tonight (Sunday 20th Jan) They kick off on Viva (Freeview 21) at 2250 until 0050 Guess it might be too much to ask to see much PC gaming involved, but might be worth a look Torgan.

Hi, I just thought I would give the benefit of my experience with 2 x 680m's in SLI. I fully expected the laptop to get roasting hot and noisy, but that is just not the case. The case hardly shows any temperature rise when gaming, and the fans are not as noisy as my old Vortex II using a GTX...

Just a bit of a daft question to get people thinking.... I'm going away to work shortly for 5 months and I will have absolutely no Broadband access whatsoever (unless the locals have some kind of pay as you go dongle I can get my hands on, but that's not the point of this thread) My question...

Morning Folks, Would like your opinions on a little decision I am making at the minute. BT Fibre Optic Broadband is being introduced into my area in the next couple of months and I am pondering whether to upgrade my service from BT Total Broadband I currently use. As it stands at the moment...

Morning Folks, Looking for the benefit of your advice if I may When I received my new laptop, I decided to give my old Vortex II to my mother as a Christmas present. I performed a fresh install of Win 7 and put all the drivers back on and everything seemed fine. She has now told me that she...

Ello folks, A little while ago my girlfriend purchased a copy of Windows 8 Pro that she was going to upgrade her old W7 laptop with. She has now changed her mind (no surprise there ;) ) and is going to get herself a brand new machine with W8 pre-installed. I have now been given the copy of W8...

Ello Folks, One of the first ever games that I actually played all the way through but kept coming back to time and time again was the Space Sim Freelancer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_(video_game) I still think the graphics look amazing and the sense of freedom and joy of...
