    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Random crashes for a while - now won't boot at all

    Hi all, I've had the odd random crash for a while which normally sorted itself after reseating the RAM and replugging the various cables into the power supply ... but after the latest one I can't get my machine to boot at all. There is power - I see the lights on the motherboard - and when I...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST General 'bit of everything' spec

    I believe the idea is:- 1st SDD - Operating system - fast. 2nd SDD - Games - fast and on separate disk from Windows. Sata Disk - General file storage - doesn't need to be fast. Also means you can reinstall Windows, if/when needed, without having to completely reinstall your game library.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Let’s Go!

    The original Lemmings was pretty much the last game I ever played 30+years ago on my first proper pc - an Apricot something or other. Once you get why go on :) (Took about 3 months and one particular mayhem level - a 30sec save them all flood that was all about timing a couple of clicks -...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST How I made a Real Lightsaber (kind of) youtube vid

    I don't believe the transporter is related to quantum entanglement - reporting of QE has been likening it to the transporter but it isn't the case. For QE to work the atoms need to be entangled and then separated. Action on one of the entangled atoms is then reflected on the other - but they...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Home/Office build line check - No gaming or anything very intense

    Updating this thread rather than create a new one in the "show off your pc" forum as my pc is as basic as you can get but thought some may like to see it in situ though. My monster desk is my first diy project and although the wood was CNCed I still had to do a fair bit of work to realise my...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Suggestions for a 2.0 / 2.1 set of PC speakers?

    I'm doing the same. I got my new pc a couple of weeks ago and want something better than the sets of cheapie Dell speakers I've got at the bottom of cupboards. I've also got a couple of spare shelf speakers so I'm currently leaning towards pairing those up with a cheap mini amp - nobsound or...
