Klix

My actual nickname is Klix, it comes from my username in the late 90's/early 00's on a clubbing forum called Gurn.net it's also the name of a hot drink vending machine which sat outside my office when i first chose my user name all those years ago.

A new one, at work today i got called to an office as a printer wasn't working. When i arrived at the office (which wasn't on the list as having a printer) i found a 50 year old Ink jet which some genius had brought in from home and plugged into the USB port of a WYSE Terminal. it didn't even have a power plug.

HAHA Thanks, it's a pretty cool place, as long as the lift isn't broken!

Hi, As I posted in the welcome forum I have just had a go at building my own rig after telling myself I was going to do it for ages. As i'm starting to get into photography and videography I thought I would have a go at doing a build log on video and this is how it came out, hopefully it's OK to post the link as my Youtube isn't commercial or anything. if you get chance to have a look i would appreciate and constructive criticism on the build and/or video as I've never done either before. The full spec of the build is in my signature. Cheers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQK_xb9_fJ4&feature=c4-overview&list=UUaA_J0TAdZSYlWkKzmmYH8w

I recently bought a Google Chromebook and was surprised when i realised it was as good as useless in the real world.

oh i'm confused isn't Afterburner an MSI utility? Afterburner works fine, Shadowplay completely FUBAR'D my system.

I've got an MSI GTX 770, when i tried to use shadowplay today it caused my brand new system (finished yesterday) to crash so badly that it's taken 3 hours to get the GPU up and working again, its been a nightmare. I had this error message which said something about a "user-mapped section being open" i couldn't uninstall or re-install the drivers. I didn't know it wasn't supposed to run on an MSI card. Wish i had as it would have saved a lot sweat and swearing this morning.

They were locked.

Hi everyone, another newbie here. Been watching Linus for quite some time finally got round to building my own PC. I've decided it's time to throw myself into my love for all things Tech and thought the forums would be a good place to start. I'll put the details of my first ever build into the correct thread and hopefully get some constructive criticism on my first effort.

Hi, FIRST POST! I spent an entire year of my life as a student in 2002 working for a dial up internet company in the UK doing tech support over the phone. I almost threw myself out of the window at least 10 times a day! Funny thing was the line was premium rate (about $1 / 60p p/min) and it would quite often take 10 mins just to talk someone through finding Control Panel let alone anything else. Best call I ever had was from a little old lady who had just bought her first PC, she was really struggling using the mouse, it took well over 30 mins to work out that she was using the mouse with her foot like her sewing machine pedal. We had three more of those calls that year from little old ladies and i started asking right at the start of the call exactly where the mouse was located.....
