  1. I have a dv6-7200ea (Smaller chassis, same cpu/chipset/RAM) and I get the same temps but it doesn't throttle ever.
  2. If you ordered it in the past 14 days you can
  3. Scan have a phone number on their website (01204 474747) and will also exchange on the spot if you take it into their retail store if it is defective.
  4. Couldn't find a way to RMA mine outside of the USA so just went back to the seller (Scan.co.uk) swapped it for me on the spot.
  5. On paper the 8350 looks amazing but real world performance for most people i5 4690k is way better. I am learning that the hard way, my 8350 is good but in general browsing and stuff it is no snappier than my i7 Ivy Bridge Mobile chip in my laptop. 8350 is also a nice overclocker provided you get a good chip in the silicon lottery and you have a decent board.
  6. Swapped the ASRock for a MSI 970 Gaming and everything is so much better and faster, overclocking works much better and the disk issue is completely gone.
  7. Depends on a lot of things, your home electrical setup, distance from your router, the way your house is constructed. Both are viable solutions but power line is probably faster overall.
  8. Thanks for your help, may just get the board replaced.
  9. Its happening on three different disks on three different sata ports on three different cables which are from different sources. And the mb is two weeks old.
  10. I pulled the SSD out of my laptop and plugged it in and ran it for a bit and it did the same thing which it doesnt do in the laptop
  11. Reinstalled it twice and no change, swapped a different SSD in and it has the same issue
  12. OK after a few days of having all of that disabled the problem still exists which means that it isnt the same issue you had. So any other ideas anyone?
  13. I don't think its the firewall, it sounds like the TP Link isn't working correctly in bridge mode.
  14. What mode has your mum put the router into? What you do depends on what the 'slave' mode actually does
