Hey guys, Used to be a regular (annoyance) here a few years ago, and have recently won myself some bang average PC to play which is now kicked off the must-upgrade-everything addiction so I have come crawling back! Will no doubt be posting lots pretending to know stuff. Thanks!

So my foot got caught on an external HDD USB cable the other day and the drive took quite a knock when it hit the floor (sad times) I just tried using it and it makes some horrible noises, windows recognises it's still plugged in, and I can get files off of it, but now I cannot transfer anything...

So the other day I was browsing AV Forums and saw that someone was selling DiRT3 on the PS3 at what I thought was a pretty decent price, so I duly put in an offer a quid below asking (cheeky) he accepts and we move to PM. At the same time that all this is happening I am looking for new flat to...

Who has Google+? Would really like to start an OC3D circle I'm already there, so add me! Name is Simon Lord,

Just bought a new iPod dock the other day with the missus as we wanted to be able to listen to music in the office (our new office recently vacated by the worst housemate ever to have walked the Earth). We strolled around in Currys, PC World, Comet and HMV just browsing seeing if we liked...

Hey peeps, hoping someone can help me out here. Yesterday I uninstalled lunix that I had on my netbook which has it's own partition, and then deleted the partition and merged it back into the windows one so I can use all the space on the HDD. But when I restarted this morning it doesn't even...

Not strictly PC components, but there will be some involved! After seeing stepster post a beautiful looking desk with a computer integrated into it with all custom watercooling and neon lights, I plan to build my own desk of similar ilk. It won't be watercooled and have all fancy lights, but...

Just got put in a derank server on CoD 4 on my PS3 (no PC atm). I didn't know what it was but when I killed people I got ridiculous negative scores. Then when I quit the game my score had been put back by 15 million XP and I now cannot play any games because it thinks I am lower than level 1...

Just playing it on PC *ahem* to see what the game is like and whether I can run the game on full settings, just thought I would let you know what it's like! It's very much a simulator, but it's done amazingly well. Like, really really really good. I'm a GT fanboy, but this beats it hands down...

A friend of a friend is complaining about bottlenecking on his computer with these specs: 4gb DDR3 -2000 PC3-16000 g skills and a amd phenom II x6 1090T I don't know what GFX card he has, but I'm pretty sure he shouldn't be getting any bottlenecking from a setup like that. Am I wrong? What do...

I now have a Tumblr account for all the rubbish I produce, at the moment I'm going through an Android Icon phase. Feel free to follow me on there and download and use the things I create! http://siloworks.tumblr.com/ I will also be open to requests as sometimes your ideas will be a lot better...

I want to take android screenshots as I design Icons and themes for the Android OS, but cannot take screenshots. I know I can do so if I install some programs and what not and connect VIA usb, or if I root my device, which I don't want to do. Could someone guide me through this operation? I...

Got a new 560 so now I can actually fold properly, not just on my CPU! woooooooo

So, got the clocks set at: 945Mhz CORE 1890MHz SHADER 2200MHz MEMORY. Getting max temps of 51 degrees under 99-100% load after about 40 mins. Is this good? Can I go further? Voltages are still stock, haven't even unlocked them at the moment.

Selling my 5870 because I want to go back to Nvidia, and because I would like a smaller card. Which would be better? Two 460's of the 786mb variant, or one 560TI? You can get them for around the same price. Looked around at reviews and stuff, but I know a couple of people on here are bound to...
