^ As you can see, there's also some old thermal paste next to the socket, a good amount of dust, and I even found hairs in amongst the pins. So much for "BARGAIN, NEVER USED"

Thanks for all the advice and to @capi3101 's friends for chiming in. I've now tried three power supplies, all with identical results ~ the original PSU I was using *should* have been pretty reliable given that it's only 6 months old and is a Platinum SeaSonic, but as has been said - these...

Much appreciated good sir. I think you're probably right, although some have said it may be something as simple as a BIOS issue.

Also should point out: All of these components are used, I know the PSU, RAM and GPU are good as they're mine and are working fine on other machines. The motherboard and processor however are secondhand and I haven't got another x79/2011 to test them.

Yes, actually you're right - I think is the chips/crips that are loudest, and I'm certain there are some that eat them with their mouths wide open!

I know the CIC isn't the first place on the list for asking about tech problems; but I've reached my wit's end. I've made threads on overclock.net and on Tom's Hardware and nobody seems to be able to offer up any advice. Since I've had good PC advice from you guys before, I thought I'd give it...

Does anybody else find eating sounds annoying? I know that having popcorn at the cinema is tradition and maybe I'm turning into a moaning old man, but I sometimes feel when watching a multi-million pound blockbuster that the audio score wasn't designed to have a constant overlay of slurping and...

I had a feeling this might be the case, and we'll never know who the Major might have been now. I always thought Origin missed a trick by not drafting in Patsy Kensit to play Major Edmond... ...but I guess she went down with the rest of them just off the Stendal Mistral coast, and Rollins did...

Does this mean there were plans at some point that Paladin would only be a Major by WC3? Seems strange, the idea of him calling Blair 'sir'.

That's done it, thanks.

Prepare for your ears to bleed! Paging @ChrisReid - any ideas?

I *probably* should post this on the Privateer entry on the DOSBox site, but I feel I'm more likely to get an answer here. Since upgrade to Windows 10 (x64) some of my games have audio issues, ranging from skipping, to crackling to simply just not having audio. Privateer in DOSBox is one such...

Hey great work!

People are strange. As you say, how can anybody find this approach worthwhile? I think more than anything it's just a lack of internet savvy, they probably saw a pop up ad with some shtick offering to "advertise your Amazon pages on YouTube automatically" and figured that's what most people do...

Looks like all of their videos are the same kinda thing:

I'm almost certain that this is randomly generated with some piece of software that searches Google images for the item the advertiser is selling. The seller simply enters the name, and the software makes the video and probably uploads it to YouTube automatically. I suspect all the user has to...

Yeah I used to be an admin on another XF forum. After a while we blanket banned name changes because there were just too many requests. Mindcrime is an interesting choice Afrim :)

I think on XenForo sites like this one, the only people that can make these changes are the mods. PM one of the guys; I'd take a bet that despite his collection of firearms and supersoakers, @ChrisReid is really a soft touch ;)

This is actually the most pragmatic option. Aside from the entertainment value of seeing your character have a love interest, choosing a girlfriend is but a perfunctory waste of time. It makes the game harder. I find it quite funny really, that the only time in any Wing Commander title where you...

Haha, in the novel, Blair agrees with you and picks Rachel; then Flint dies on the Kilrah run anyway. The first time I played I couldn't believe it, I picked Flint, made Rachel angry and lost her help, then made Flint angry by not choosing her as my wingman...so to keep her happy, took her to...
