As the title suggests can anyone recommend me a plasma/LCD TV for around the £500 mark.
Thank you
Thank you
Might be daft but do you need to press the little Pairing button on your Xbox to make it visible
Right the PSU is shagged. Can someone recommend me something that will suit from Overclockers to get me up and running again.r2zoo wrote:
A quick way to test is to take the psu out of the pc and take it down to your local PC shop, if you ask one of the guys working there, generally they'll test your PSU for free, at least in my experience.Horse wrote:
Right i changed the GFX card.. no dice.
I'm kinda feeling it's the power supply as there are no signs of life. It's a HPC-420-302 DF with:
+5V / 40A
+3.3V / 30A
+12V / 18A
-5V / 0.3A
-12V / 0.8A
+5VSB / 2A
AC INPUT: 100-240V 8A
PEAK LOAD 480W
Can i buy any old cheapo PSU to try or do i need to be specific?
Many Thanks
A cheap one should work, provided its enough voltage to run your system, which should be hard. Just dont want to run long term on a cheap one as your apt to have it fail horribly.
Thanks again.

Ok thanks, i have an old graphics card i can try. I shall do so and let you know.
Also is there any specific order i can start pulling components out to try and eliminate the suspects

Ok, i uplugged it, pulled the side off and fiddled with all leads etc, no joy. The only sign of life is a really high pitched almost inaudible whine.

So, i was running Spybot and when i came back later my pc was lifeless. At first i thought i'd switched it off but when i went to turn it on, nothing, nada ! I reached round and turned the mains off and i heard a slight noise as though it was winding down.
Now i'm a noob so does anyone have any educated guesses as what might be the cause or shall i just chuck it and get a new one?
it'll be a shame as i have photos/music etc on the hard drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ok, your trying too hard. The way i stopped getting owned was to take care, use your surroundings, pick your moves, learn the maps. If you learn to stop throwing yourself into firefights and concentrate on staying alive you will instantly start turning that - into a + KDR and you'll be surprised that you are usually the top killer on your team.steelie34 wrote:
im such a noob at this game. i get my fair share of kills and streaks once in a while, but usually i get owned the whole round... more often than not. what am i doing wrong? i need pro tips from you diehard pc players. post vids if you got em, or any helpful strategies. im sick of dying all the time, and im sure there are others who would find your input helpful.
btw, i usually go into battle with a g36c, red dot, 3 frags, stopping power, deep impact, and a stun grenade. help me!
Another great tip is to throw your pistol away at the 1st opportunity and collect a proper gun off the nearest corpse so if you get into a fight and empty your magazine you can quickly switch for the coup de grace, or if you grab a sniper rifle or shotty your covered depending on what your doing. It's a way of having the overkill perk for free and that's gotta be a boon

Sounds like you need to download Windows Service Pack 2. If your on 1 it recognises it as a camera
Good evening Guru's
I have a quick challenge. I'm going over to my Dad's tomorrow and he's after a new Laptop to replace his old crappy one. I said "hmm, not sure but i know of whom to ask"
This is obviously the point where i ask the all-knowing Brotherhood of bf2s.com, Tech section to suggest me said item to recommend.
Being in his 70's and my Mum in her 60's gaming is not an issue. They simply need it to email/browse/skype/store photos etc and a webcam would be good as i have a sister living in the good old U.S of A.
So fairly basic then and i would be very grateful for your help with karma forthcoming.
Kind Regards, Horse

Even better build and still miles under budget. double the RAM, faster RAM at that. and 2 9800GTXs instead of 2 8800GTXs and ~£300 less 0o
Seriously do it, if your frind can build a PC he can overclock. OCers overclocking service is shit frankly, 3Ghz is nothing, you could do that with the stock cooler at the stock voltage, waste of time and money.
EDIT: Also everyone here will help if you have problems.
I would love to build it i'm just wary of screwing it up. Plus they can overclock it for me as computers are not my forte.Sydney wrote:

Good point. i have a friend whose a wizz with computers, he's very much IT. Hecould help me build one. I'm just worried about getting a whole bunch of components delivered and somethings duff, whereas i can just have them build it,test it and guarantee the mutha.Aries_37 wrote:
here's a tip, if you care so much about the £100 difference don't get a prebuilt system.
If you spend a couple of hours learning how to build one yourself you'll save a lot more than a 100...
Yuo, it's a cost v storage quetion. i've read that the F! is worth it overall coz it's grease lighting would i be correct?james@alienware wrote:
2 raptors in raid 0 will be quicker. The spinpoint has more space (obviously) and will be more reliable.
If you've got the cash get the one with the raptors and by the spinpoint seperatly as a storage drive.

The 900 is probably the ugliest case ever made.
If you're using this PC primarily for gaming then go for the raptors, as the price increase is very little. But if you need the space then go with the F1(TBH, there won't be a significant difference in regards to their performance).
If I were you, I'd wait another month to see what nvidia's new line up of vid cards will bring. 8800GTX cards are overpriced IMO.

i've heard great things about the F1 drive. Obviouslythe 1TB is a winner, my question is does it beat 2x Raptors in Raid 0 as that's the only difference
i can see between the two to save £100
any help greatly appreciated with karma

360. I own both a PS3 and a 360, and whilst it's nice to have free Wi-Fi and Internet with the PS3, the 360's features besides that reign over it. The only reason why I'd go for a PS3 if I were you is if you have a desire to watch Blu-Rays.
Why the 360? The game selection and the dashboard. The PS3 dashboard is simply annoying and confusing, and PSN is incredibly annoying. You can't even open up your friends list in most games on the PS3, whilst you can just press the Xbox button on the 360 controller and see your profile (which also is much more advanced than PS3 profiles), your messages, your friends list and so many others. Yes, XBL might not be free...50 bucks a year for a 12 month card, but it pays off big time. It's far, FAR superior to PSN. I'd rather pay 50 bucks for something that gives quality than get something that's free that has low quality and an annoying interface.
The 360 controller is also MUCH better than the Dualshock. It's better fitting to your hands and the joysticks are very well placed to allow maximum control.
If you get a 360 Elite, you get a free HDMI cable and 120 gig hard drive. The 360 in terms of hardware might be inferior to the PS3, but in all out enjoyability and fun, the 360 is far superior. The PS3's interface is way too bland.
And finally, games.
Gears of War/Gears of War 2 (November '08)
Forza Motorsport 2
Project Gotham Racing 3/4
Dead Rising
Bioshock (though it's on the PC too)
Too Human (August '08)
Halo series
Crackdown
Mass Effect (same as Bioshock)
Ninja Gaiden II (June '08)
Any of those games are enough to get me to buy a 360, if I didn't have one. Gears of War is INCREDIBLY fun, Halo (although MP is a bit overrated) is very enjoyable and has a very interesting storyline, and PGR 4 and FM2 are incredible racers. The PS3 has some decent exclusives (Uncharted, Resistance, GT5), but not enough to reign superior over the 360's game selection.
The PS3 is a good console, don't get me wrong. But it's sort of like comparing a Supercomputer to a High-End desktop. The supercomputer might have better specs and you may be able to get to do more things with it, but the High-End desktop reigns superior for all out enjoyability rate.
Edit: Also; achievements. Achievements may seem like an assinine thing to say why the 360 is superior, but they simply make the games more enjoyable and a higher replayability rate.
Is it coming out on both PS3 & Xbox ? If so which is gonna be the better one to go for or are they gonna be identical particularly in terms of multiplayer
Holy shit...199.46hrs of being T bagged !!!

If you need to go on the tinternet switch it on and your there rather than firing up the computer zzzzz!
Everything is just instant at your fingertips as you sit on the sofa
If your biatch is watching crap on the tv just go and watch anything you like on youtube or check your email
It`s an amazing bit of kit and you won`t regret it
You only have to think about the phone deal, i think its about £40 a month for an 18 month contract in the UK, and the camers sucks btw. I have another better phone this is why i just got the ipod touch.
hope this helps.
