DebatED Nothing

Skyrim came with a map on PS3 I seem to remember (I don't think I bought a special edition either, just standard)

Printers in homes? Why do you think that? *realises he hasn't printed anything for months because he just emails people documents or prints them where he needs them with GDrive* ah. I see.

Doubt it. HDDs still have vastly superior price per unit of storage and will for a long time IMO. Also, despite advancements in USB flash drives external hard drives are still the best for backing things up outside of your PC.

Honestly I don't see TV dying out. "Smart" TVs and things like Apple TVs or BT youview that allow you to watch netflix, iplayer and so on on your TV mean it's still worth having one for watching netflix and so on. As for laptops I still view them as vastly superior to touch screen devices, I really don't like touchscreens for anything other than phones.

Take your childish argument elsewhere please, no one else cares.

There's life living thousands of meters under water, getting sustenance from methane vents and geothermal heat. Nothing we can do could wipe that out.

You have serious trust in your own ghetto fix, I'd never ride on something that I'd fixed in a dodgy way.

Almost all living things. Please, life survived a very large asteroid impact, you think we could wipe it out with our nukes? No chance. At most we'd wipe out a significant portion of large animals and predators (due to bio-accumulation of toxic/radioactive substances).

It's like Vault tec. They promise to protect you and are legally bound to do so, but when their services are actually used there won't be any system in place to enforce the laws that prevent them from experimenting, so they do.

Until recently (when I figured out how to use my HDD mounting rack in my case) I had 3 HDDs mounted using zip ties...Basically I made two loops to slide them into. Not exactly safe.

Turns out, that if you read your manual you might figure out how to use your drive bays finally. Turns out there are little rubber discs and screws I can use to mount my HDDs in a quick release slidy thing.

So, it seems to have fixed itself. I borrowed a friend's PC to test my system on his PSU and his on mine, and it's all fixed. I guess that means it was a loose connection somewhere?

I'm not upgrading either. What's the point if there're no improvements and I'd just have to relearn the UI. Also the problems with it being spyware, and limiting your customization to the highest extent of any windows so far.

There's not even any trace connecting the capacitors to the PCI-E port >.> This is brilliant.

So with my case (Zalman Z11) I only got one piece of the mounting hardware for an HDD, which at the time was fine, because I only had one HDD, and there's a seperate thing to mount SSDs. Now I'd like to mount some more HDDs, but I don't have the stuff to do it. Are these peices of metal standard in design? If so, where can I buy more? If I can't buy more what should I do? Consider getting a new case or macgyver it?

On one hand, it's amazingly cool, and if some of the numbers fail, then you can just get it to display the same number continuously and get people to try to guess what it means It'll still look awesome that way. On the other hand, money.

That's an idea, I've not actually tested leaving the PC off but on at the wall switch for a long time (as whenever it's day I leave it in sleep, and I turn it off at the switch because otherwise my mouse stays illuminated). This might help somewhat.

Well it's really cold at night and really hot in the day, lonely, dangerous, has high levels of radiation, takes ages to get there due to extremely poor road links and the dress code is really impractical.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can assume isn't the issue? I don't think it can be OS or disk related, because that shouldn't affect booting at all. I know that it could be PSU related, but I don't really have any way to test that at the moment at least. I've undone the single change I made to the environment the PC is in (the addition of another extension cord to my 6 way power splitter to let me use my soldering iron and hot glue gun easier) and that's not fixed it. The problem is it's a bitch to test, as it only fails to boot every now and then, and seems to reliably boot fine after the first correct boot, and then won't fail until it's turned off at the plug and left for a while. The impression I get from its behaviour is that it's "warming up" and until it's "warmed up" it can't boot correctly, could there be something wrong with my PSU that causes this behaviour? I've emailed corsair's tech support, so maybe they'll send me a new one as I'm well within my 7 year warranty.

I have this, don't know if I'd trust it with my PC: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00642F8AU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

So, I've been running this PC for several years now, and the only change I've made all that time is replacing my HD 7850 with a GTX 770, and adding 2 hard drives, so no, it's not just a recent issue to do with a new component. In the last two days, both times I have come to turn my PC on, it has failed several times before booting, sometimes posting, more often not even making it that far (never playing the post beep, never showing anything on screen). However, there was never an error beep, only either no beep at all or the post beep, after which it may or may not reach windows. Once it's booted up properly, it's completely stable and can run games as normal. Today, it failed twice but then on the third attempt played a sequence of several short beeps, which according to my MOBO's manual, means a power error. Is my PSU dying? How come it seemingly takes some time to warm up but once it's going it's stable? This is my current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cgDYsY Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I did once try to fix the RAM issues, and it blue screened immediately. I do reasonably well in most games, but I struggle on certain maps in Insurgency, and that's on medium/low settings. Realistically, being a student, I'm probably just going to have to deal with it for a while and maybe carry on trading up the second hand tree with my friends in the mean time (I started with a Radeon HD 7850, which, yes, does mean I spent -more- on CPU than GPU in a gaming build, but I sold that to a friend fairly quickly, after realising it was trash.)

Well, I fixed it a while ago so I thought I might as well post an update saying what (I think) fixed it: I bought a Hyper 212 EVO. Now I have my CPU overclocked to 4.4, and it never goes above 50C. Not had these types of issues since.

Hello, I'm not very well knowledged about PCs when it comes to performance, value and so on, so I could do with some advice on upgrading my PC in the near future. My current set up is detailed in this parts list (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cgDYsY) however there are a few incorrect components due to PC part picker not having some of my parts: My motherboard is actually a Gigabyte GA-FXA990-D3 (as opposed to the -UD3 in the list) and I'm not sure that the GPU is the exact model of GTX 770 I have, which is an EVGA GTX 770 with 1.11 GHz base clock, 2 GB ram etc (I think it's the one listed, but it's at least very similar). Anyway, my question basically is: should I upgrade a single key component like the GPU, or would I be better off saving up a bit longer and doing a new build using only a few of my current components? I say this because basically most of the components are pretty poor, and the build wasn't well conceived (for example my RAM underclocks to ~1200 MHz for some reason from 1600MHz) so it could be that any upgrade now will be limited by everything else. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
