  1. I have nothing to do with it. He (my dad) is the one that did it all. It is not my property. It is theirs (my stepmum and dad). I have even told the police that he did it all himself along with an uncle. They didn't care.
  2. The electrician emailed me back saying he doesn't have the time to do my work. I had to call him after 2 days of him not replying to my email. Over the phone he claimed he has bad signal today and that's the reason why he 'missed' my email - I then told him I emailed him 2 days ago. I called him on his landline number from his website at about 10:30am - if he's really that busy what's he doing at home at that time? ''apologies for missing your email. I’m afraid that I will not be able to help on this occasion as I have a full diary at present. '' So I emailed back: ''Is it too small a job for you? If you wanted to do it you would have told me when you're going to be free to do it. '' He replied back: ''yes I’m afraid I am going through a particularly busy time at the moment so I won’t be able to do the job for you unfortunately.'' So I emailed back: ''Until when?'' He replied back: '' I am currently booking in to the new year.''
  3. Isn't that a surge protector? I already have a extension socket with surge protection. A masterplug.
  4. And why not? I am going public with the abuse that happens at home on my YouTube channel. I audio record the abuse. Have done for years. Met with the police many times but I never disclose anything that could result in them being arrested as it would mean I would become homeless - something I have told the police many times.
  5. It IS off. I turned it off a few weeks ago when my GPU died to troubleshoot.
  6. So ermmmm I don't get what bels are and how loud a bel is.... I see the bel ratings for each drive.
  7. Doesn't work? https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/product-content/barracuda-fam/barracuda-new/en-us/docs/barracuda-pro-ds-1901-6-1701us.pdf
  8. Yes but backup>RAID. RAID is a luxury. Do you not notice ANY difference at all? How often does that tler thing affect you? Seagate told me that the head parks more often on their NAS drives, so that makes more noise they said than the desktop versions. Any ideas on noise? Also note that the WD RED's come with only a 3yr warranty. Barracuda Pro's come with 5yr.
  9. These are photos of my room when I was renovating it. My dad did the wiring. You can see the type of cable used and how it runs. Easy to get to once the carpet is removed.
  10. Most of the wiring runs under floor boards and overhead in the loft, not in walls. I have emailed an electrician to take a look at the wiring in my room. We will see what happens. My dad went psycho last time because the electrician asked him for a certificate; this time it will only be my room that will be examined. As long as there are no power issues in my room then it's ok. If leaving was an option I would have done it a long time ago. Think before you type.
  11. I'm not even allowed to talk about it. Last time I did I was almost made homeless by him and my stepmother. Any wrong he does I'm not allowed to talk about. Same with the asbestos ceilings. If it makes any difference, the house was rewired by my dad and the family friend (we call uncle... It's an Indian thing) 7 years ago or 8 years ago.
  12. Because on my laptop I'm not logged in. I can't remember my password right now so easier to take l photo. I'm typing from on phone. Can't afford a £4k to £10k online ups. Had company electricians that supplies electricity come over for a grounding check. They do that for free as that's the companies duty. They said he sounds dodgy. That a good electrician can obviously provide a quote. Also that electrician had no sympathy when I cried. He was indifferent. Here in the UK, tradespeople are usually people with criminal pasts and some are still criminals. They are notorious for being dodgy. I'm taking a carpenter to court soon after he left me with a non lockable door and damaged my door cosmetically. Also they all write 'no job too small' but if it's a small job they're not interested.
  13. My parents are abusive Indians. They own the house. There's nothing I can do with regards to an electrician. The last time I called an electrician over, he asked my dad to see the wiring certificate for the downstairs business part of the property which my dad claims has been installed by qualified electricians. When he asked to see that my dad went psycho. I broke down in tears later in the kitchen in front of the electrican. He was however a dodgy electrician as when I asked him for a quote he said he can't give me one as the price may change as he doesn't know what he will find in terms of wiring behind walls etc. At the time I wanted the new breakers installed. The type where if you touch a live wire, it cuts the power. I can't afford an online ups. I wonder how many people that are replying are qualified electricians and have working knowledge of electrics as I asked in my op.
  14. I edited my last post. Check it out please. Also I came across this in my research, but info is not in any one coherent place. It was a question someone asked corsair and they never replied. Apparently pure sinewave destroys psu's. Also how can one tell if a psu has that active stuff in it?
  15. Did some research. There's line interactive and online. Line interactive seem common but APC don't list what type theirs are. The site I'm looking at mentions only power drop protection offered by this. Not LITTLE spikes. Will it protect from little power spikes and big ones or do I need an online ups? Photo provide. Online seems the most complete. But those start at 4k each and are rack mounted. I don't get why power conditioners aren't just available without the battery aspect. IMPORTANT EDIT. Chock this out. Apparently nothing other than correcting the wiring will resolve it. Photo attached.
  16. I already searched for power conditioners. Here in the UK on the internet there are none. Please provide me with links if you can find some. The first result that comes up is a 35 pound extension socket pile of crap
  17. Please provide a link to one that would do that available here in the UK. Why do I need a ups? How is a backup battery going to do all that?
  18. 8 cases is barely scratching the surface. Yes I live in the south of the UK. London. God that scan place is even further. There's a street view style view of the scan store, but it's still not that big at all. Still barely enough cases to view
  19. ....that is only for a total loss of power. It's not going to resolve the issues I suspect which is power issues as stated above. Not total loss of power.
  20. I live in the UK. Home has been rewired by my dad and an uncle. Neither of whom are electricians. When the downstairs light in the kitchen below my room is switched on (it's on the same wiring as my bedroom sockets), my PC speakers (Logitech Z5500) make a little sound. Seems to be a possible spike when the light is switched on? What can I do/buy to protect my PC from any possible damage caused by little spikes that would get through a surge protector, as they are small, but that overtime will damage the PSU and components? I have had many issues for over a decade with my PC's I build that all seem to have been power related. Recently my GPU died after some nscreen flickering (dead RAM the PC repair guy told me who I gave the GPU for testing too, and he said probably a power issue with the PSU and or home wiring), fan controller died. Today my PC refused to go into sleep mode and stayed on despite showing me the login screen after I pressed sleep (tried a few times). This paragraph is from a post last year on here in Dec 2018 by myself: '' I am thinking of getting rid of this TX650W I have right now because as of today my Fan controller died and I also experienced other weird things like a disconnect then connect sound in Windows 10... at the same time the screen flickered, my GPU defaulted back to Auto by itself and the CPU fan shot up to max speed like it does on system boot temporarily. I think it may be the PSU.'' What other power issues could cause damage to the PC that I need to protect it from? I know of brown outs or something like that and ermmm that's all I remember. I need someone with electronics knowledge to answer this please. Thanks.

They probably have about 7 cases in there to look at. It would cost me £250 just to get there.
  22. Lol CURRYS? Maybe it's different there in Scotland, but here in England, Currys is utter dog crap for PC's. It's for grandpa and grandma. My local Currys have a selection of about 4-5 pc screens for example; most of which are not powered so you cannot see what the display looks like, and all of which are low end garbage.
  23. Where can I view PC cases for real life in the UK? Like and actual store with every case imaginable?
