Does anyone have a brand new Intel socket 775 CPU cooler laying about that I can have? I used to have somes of them laying about from when I had built machines and put on aftermarket cooling, but I chucked them out a while back in a cleanup :( I need one asap.

Forever (well the life of the machine anyhow). If it's your only one and you want to keep a spare then keep it Steve. I was just hoping someone had a ton of them laying about, like I used to. I can get one for $8 delivered off Habibay, but don't really want to wait. I have now stolen one off another machine sitting here which has now got me out of trouble, but still need one to go back on the other machine now.

Anyone?

Having something of an interesting problem with my laptop at the moment.

Basically, after an hour of running, and I mean dead on an hour every time, clock speed snaps up to 100% and stays there until I power it down. Started a couple weeks ago, figured it was a virus of some description, but neither Symantec or Spybot found anything note worthy. Dropped it off at Luke's place to see if he could figure it out, couldn't replicate the problem, and it was left running over night and the next day. When I got it home, did it first time, disconnected my external HDD which we figured could be problem, still did it, took it to a friends place the next day for a Dexter marathon and it performed faultlessly.

Then when I got it home again, problems. Opened up Task Manager, and had a look around Resource Monitor, Internet Explorer, which I only ever used to download Firefox, and has been quite content to sit in the background ever since, is running up to 90% of available processing power, end process and everything returns to normal. But I basically have to do it every time it happens.

So my new problem is, uninstalling. How? It doesn't appear in Add/Remove, and I have a feeling just deleting the file won't quite cut it...

Your right deleting wouldn't cut it

Try downloading CC cleaner it comes with a bunch of cool stuff 2nd thing to uninstall would be nortons and get Avast or AVG

Quick warning to anyone considering buying an OCZ Revodrive Original or Revodrive x2

Had my 110gb Revodrive (PCI-E) SSD stuff up today. Its only 4 months old and is a replacement for a 50gb unit of the same make I had to RMA.

1st one developed sector and File table errors, 2nd one is suffering from the 2nd of the Raid0 mirros to disappear after several minutes of power.

Needless to say, I'm miffed. I have all my critical data on another array of drives, and I have a tape backup unit, but neither of those are suitable to be used to host an OS, so I'm back to my laptop until this gets resolved, or unless I can borrow a drive from work for the time being.

The X3's support TRIM - maybe this helps the first problem I had but the second one is obviously a hardware issue. And we're currently trialling OCZ SATA3 SSD's at work for the programmers to use (compiling source code uses a lot of IOPS's and the SSD's take 1/3rd of the time to compile as their HDD counterparts - the longevity of such devices remains to be seen...)

*sigh*

That aside, I'm going to get another video card, a bigger monitor, 2x2tb raid drives to expand my array and a copy of Battlefield 3 when its out. And more backup tapes for my pron important data...

yeah i dont see the point paying over $40 more just for 3 DVD's and a box

True,and tbh computers and my job frustrate me to the point that I just cbf dealing with beta level software...

That and I work for a software company and I have a moral obligation to give the devs the money IF I like the product and want to keep it....

Bought WOW:BC, WOW:LK and WOW:Cataclysm, Doom3, Flashpoint: Dragon Rising amongst a few others... if the product is good, I'll buy it, but I download them first and try them... which some might label piracy, I call it 'tasting the fruit'

Work laptop has shit itself.

Go to start it up and when it's meant to go to the start up screen, I get nothing, just black.

Said something about DST error and what not but daylight savings time shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Guessing the HDD shit itself or something?

Does anyone know where I can download a copy of Windows Vista for free?

Don't have a copy on disk here and I'm in the the middle of the desert so no chance of running down the shops for one.

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
