  1. Unfortunately that's going to be a bit difficult. I was thinking along those lines too, you see the graphics card has a little indicator light which turns on and stays on as soon as I switch the psu power on. That means power must be flowing in some way.
  2. Would like to try but need to be 100 percent sure and I don't want to end up spending money on unnecessary parts in the event something else is causing the fault.
  3. No overclock was ever set. Cant boot at all therefore go into bios, no post codes hard drive doesn't spin either. I was thinking along those lines too, possibly dead psu but don't have a spare on site, might have to order a new one or even rma it. System has been running fine up until now. It has adequate cooling solution, everything was running at stock, no overclcok was ever applied. All parts look physically fine and no obvious signs of damage.
  4. Hello All, Little background: I built my own gaming rig back in the summer of 2015. Some specs: i5-4690k hyper 212 evo 16gb hyperx ram gtx 970 strix gigabyte z97p-d3 mobo evga 650 g1 psu 1tb hybrid drive. Problem: Whilst my brother was playing games on the machine, it suddenly switched off completely. When I hit the power button, the cpu fan and gpu fan spin briefly for one second and then turn off. Solutions I have tried so far: - Double checked all the power cables from the motherboard to psu, they are all seated correctly. - removed ram and placed one stick in, tested different ram slots - removed gpu - removed network card - tore out the entire PC from the case and rebuilt it, (minus re installing the cpu and cooler since the hyper 212 is a real bitch to mount) - tried powering machine using screwdriver - reseated the cmos battery. Does anyone know what might possibly be the cause?
  5. The last bit is 100% true, its god awful around here especially either during the morning rush hour or early evening especially right after school finishes (surrounded in my area) I have experienced being in traffic, yeah it does sort of become a pain when all your doing is creeping forward for like half an hour.
  6. In the next couple of months I will be obtaining my first car. It's going to be a hatchback with a small engine size. My only question is whether it should be an automatic or manual? I have driven a manual when I was learning how to drive, also driven my sibling's BMW which is a manual under temporary insurance cover. I only had less than 2 mins experience in an automatic (friend's car) but it did feel kind of weird that I don't need to change gears or use my left foot. I'm slightly leaning towards an auto based on the fact that its easier to move along a hill rather than a manual (unless you count the new cars which provide break assist on a steep incline). If I get the hang of the biting point and utilize the e-break (handbreak) on a hill then it would be of no issue to me if I drive a manual. What would you recommend?
  7. I hate living in London, car insurance is sky high, like almost quadruple the price of the cars I'm looking at, why can't we just insure the car and let anyone drive it like most countries, instead companies get gready and want to insure every single driver
  8. @LinusTech @Slick @nicklmg Seems someone downloaded the vessel exclusive and uploaded it to a file sharing site, followed by leaking the link to the comment section of the latest YT video.
  9. It is a HDMI splitter, they receive power by connecting to the HDMI port of your TV/monitor.
  10. I upgraded a Samsung laptop from Windows 8.1 to 10 through downloading the Windows 10 tool from Microsoft's website. After the update was done, it appears the start menu doesn't work at all. If I click it or enter the Windows key, nothing happens, I can't even use the search either. I tried through powershell running the sfc /scannow command. It freezes at 23% verification. Shall I just revert it back to Windows 8 and call it a day?
  11. thanks, it says wear level is 6% and the charge level is 4%
  12. Just been told a year so the battery has gone to hell.
  13. I think the battery is completely gone since I took the charger off, the percentage fell from 19, 18, 6, 5% within the space of 2 or 3 mins,
  14. I have a Dell Latitude E5430 on the desk which has just been given to me. The laptop was completely dead for some time since it has been in storage. I had a dell charger on hand luckily, plugged it in, booted it up, the laptop was charging until it reached 19%. Now it says "Plugged in, not charging" - Any solutions?
  15. They'll most likely accept and replace it but from research, if your phone is within the 14 day return period then they will give you a fresh one, if not, refurbished it is. I also have a dead pixel on the 6 plus but it isn't noticeable unless I go actually looking for it. I was offered a refurbished replacement but didn't bother since the phone would not match the details on the box especially when I sell it on to second hand store for example who require that the serial number on the box match the phone.
  16. Well it's because the other 13 laptops have celerons and are painstakingly slow but still somehow usable in an office environment. The dell with the windows 7 I was thinking of not switching OS since I kind of miss the OS. Just hoping 10 plays nice with the other two especially the Packard bell since I have never used one with an AMD E2 processor which I think may be the equivalent of a celeron/pentium?
  17. Linus used to work for NCIX and host videos for them until the end of 2015, the latter two are LMG' own channels but with different content.
  18. My relative bought home 16 laptops from the company they work for. They were allowed to keep any 3 of the 16 there were whilst the rest were wiped out and reset as well as given back to the business. The laptops that I have on possession now are: Dell Latitude E5430 (3rd gen core i5, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Windows 7) Samsung NP3530EC (3rd gen core i3, Windows 8.1) Packard bell (AMD-E2) (Windows 8.1) Specifically speaking, should I upgrade them all to windows 10?

    Hair growth?

    I've been using castor oil from time to time, I looked it up on the internet, people have been recommending it saying it makes your hair "grow twice as fast". I didn't even need to buy it since there was already a bottle of it in the house. It is useful especially if you want to give your hair a wet look or slick it back because of its thickness. I've read that shampoo especially consistent use can damage the hair which is not exactly what I'm going for.

    Hair growth?

    I tried last time, survived up to 5 months but the wind when outside would mess up my hair so badly, that I just ticked and cut it off. I have been using an oil product to keep the hair lubricated, and not dry. But damn that's way longer than I wanted, I'm aiming for shoulder length max. Props to you for that dedication. Mid long but lets see how it suits first.
  22. I think its ok for teens to watch, it only gets very disturbing if it leads to said person ending up watching very explicit/ illegal things or if they literally alienate themselves from reality due to excessive addiction to watching these types of videos, and if they cant see the difference between how you treat a woman vs in the videos.

    Hair growth?

    My simple reply is: I'll cut it later but never specify.

    Hair growth?

    Except when everyone keeps asking you to cut it trying to ruin my goal.
