Errrm... thanks, I think
Only joking! Glad to be of help
If you are going to run Vista though, I'd get at least another 512Mb of RAM in there first. Vista will run like a bag of poo with only 512Mb, even with all of the fancy bits turned off

Jawol, mein fuhrer!

Might aswell keep this thread alive seeing as i have a new issue.
Cycovision:
Been using my PC for months with no issues but over the last week it has started shutting off after i have been playing a certain game on it for 45+ minutes.
I can have my pc running for hours doing what ever i want on it but when ever i load this game (Football Manager 2007), after playing it for longer that 45minutes it will just shut down, no warning, no nothing.
Then to turn it back on i have to hold in the power button but it wont actually turn on until i release the power button.
Any suggestions? I considered the power pack or it over heating but it only seems to do it when im playing this specific game.
Thanks in advance

if i can help...
i think its over heating..the graphic card when used to the fullest for long perods of time can generate quite a bit of heat...Coincidentally i experenced the same problem with the same game some months ago...i added another fan and then the problem was gone.But for a quick solution try lowering the graphics of the game...it always helps

Yeah, I'd agree with that. Remove the graphics card and make sure that the fan and heatsink are clean and that the fan can revolve freely.
If the fan is stuck, you can use an electrical solvent cleaner like c-solve to clean it thoroughly. If it's the bearing that has seized up, you're in trouble!
Well, not always
Electronics catalogues like RS and Maplin may have a suitably sized replacement fan. Failing that, I've occasionally found replacement fans on ebay before so you might get lucky!
If, after cleaning, the problem still persists, it could be that the graphics card has fried or is simply on it's last legs. A good way to diagnose dodgy graphics cards is to download any graphics benchmarking software such as 3dmark05 and run the demo continuously. It doesn't matter if it runs slow, the idea is just to make the card work as hard as possible. If you get similar problems as those that you get when playing your game, there's a good chance that it is indeed the graphics card.

Hi all
I am planning on formatting my PC, and just wanted to know if my Norton Internet Security will still install properly. I bought a CD version and I still have 240 days left, so if I were to format and re-install, would it just start from where it left off previously?
Thanks

Yes, it will
It asks you for your registration details again i.e. email address, serial number etc. and sorts it all out from that information.
It usually goes smoothly unless their server is down, but you can always ring them up if the worst comes to the worst.
