    Shadow captain there is NO problem with getting a normal keyboard wet as long as it is not powered whilst it is wet, keyboards can be(and are) washed in dish washers, as long as they are well rinsed and well dried before powering on their should be no problems.

    Much more likely to be your MoBo than your proccesor (assuming your testing already eliminated the PSU as the source of the problem).
    If the PSU has not been eliminated I would test that first as this is almost certainly where your problems stem from.

    Oh for $eitys sake lucagrabacr If it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't.  No one (without physical access to your hardware) can tell if anythings broken .  Stop looking for definites there are none.

    soup got a reaction from kirashi in How to use the microphone on headphones as a desktop mic   
    No guarantees but the following should work :-
    Try
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Splitter-Separate-Headphone-Microphone-Headphones/dp/B00Y4663GG/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1474932512&sr=8-9&keywords=mic+and+headphone+splitter
    Headphone/mic phone cable plugs into the single combo socket then the two seperate plugs go into the two (one microphone one speakers) sockets on the  computer case.
     
    Mind you by the time you have bought this splitter and had it shipped to Slovenia you would probably be as well off getting a new dedicated (virtually guaranteed to work) mic.
    Best of luck
     
    I remember once recording my voice (for a web forum I was subscribed to at the time) by shouting into the headphones which I had plugged into the mic socket (the sound quality was erm 'interesting', but it did work).

    Maybe a tad more, but certainly seems OK. Dont fret too much on getting the exact shape of the die, it doesn't make that much of a difference (line ,pea, spread out with tape on your finger....). 
     
    80° C in prime 95 is not THAT much of a problem, your system in normal usage will should see nothing like the amount of stress Prime 95 applies

    Where I am it is actually easier ,can be faster, and is cheaper to get into and out of town using the bus .  I live on the outskirts of a medievel town (Edinburgh) parking in it is HORRENDOUS and the roads are actually built (most of them) for horse and cart not cars .  The council is actually pretty anti car and actually have a few no car areas . The wider roads have what are termed bus lanes and buses can speed up and down them but cars are banned from them so buses can travel faster than the rest of the traffic .The bus service here is excellent (ten minutes between buses and we are right on the edge/outside depending on your viewpoint of Edinburgh in a village called Balerno) so there really is no point driving into town.

    Thing is, there must be some mugs out there who actually respond to these"ads" for them to do it.  Same with Nigerian princes who have millions to put in your bank account, Russian girls who want to smother you in kisses {polite version] etc
      Same with SPAM if 1 in 10,000 reply and they send out a million spams thats still 100 customers they get

    I have had FREE upgrades from my ISP, but remarkbly a few months later the prices have to go up due to a rise in inflation or because of a rise in the price of potatos or because some new research has shown the moon isn't made of blue cheese or... any old bollocks to put the price up to cover the cost of a 'free' upgrade.
      However my ISP is definetly the fastest in the area (150:10 Virginmedia) and we get a bundle involving telly, telephone(landline we really are that old) and internet (it would involve mobile too but I HATE them) so we are unlikely to change

    You are probably too young to know without googling, but this is pretty much like the Yoko Ono ending the Beatles episode she also was someone who had no official management position/control but had the ear of John Lennon and managed to split the band. 
    Was it happening anyway? - Probably
    Did she hasten the end? -  Almost certainly.
     
    TL:DR You don't have to be official to be influential.

    I was at college many years ago (1980-1984)I had this sort of feeling originally that anywhere I would stay would have a temporary feel.  However soon felt that months at a time out of your life was worthwile making wherever you went a home away from home .  Some had there own tellys, music centres, hi-fi units et-al (no home computers to speak of in those days, though there was one chap building one in my flat in first year and I mean building it soldering components onto [admitadely pre-etched) circuit boards etc) do not feel you have to be ready to move at a moments notice live wherever you stay.
    TL:DR Ship, car, carry etc any stuff to make your place feel like home

    soup got a reaction from ingoi in Please help, what is this screwhead?   
    Are you sure those screws are meant to be removed (by a layman) ? 
    Can't really see what they are, using various bits and trying to turn them hasn't helped.
     
    Although the same screw in mirror positions :-
    1st photo looks like a screwed up head that you have tried jamming various bits in and hence screwed the head.
    2nd photo it makes it look like some sort of lobed head (torx, tri lobe or similar)
     
    Might  be allens (hex sided)(if meant to be easily removable ).
    Might be one of the many security bits which include everything from squares to tri lobes
     
    Have a proper look with a torch and Magnifying glass see how many facets might tell you what you need or you could do the look and post the number of sides .
    At least looks like there is no sort of pin in the screw so security bits with holes , seem to be, out of the question.

    No2 son was on a ventilator when he was first born (nine months ventilated 14 months in SCBU) the oxygen pressures and concentrations they had to use made Oxygen's poisonous nature significant (there is a reason DEEP divers breathe a mixture of gases with a much higher percentage of helium, than there is in air at STP).
