Made it far too complicated for myself by not knowing what I was doing and undoing bolts I shouldn't have, resulting in having to take the entire mother-board out, but so far so good. Can't thank you enough! It's lasted much longer than for some weeks. Will do some proper testing tomorrow :D

Thank you both for your time. SpyderTracks sounds pretty confident I've messed with this heatsink seating so let's give fixing that a go. I'll watch some videos and order what I need for the job. Not that it matters much now but the fan had this code on it: AMD FHSA7015B

I am not well-versed in computer components so it's possible I'm not referring to the correct components. There is a fan directly on top of the heat sink. I assumed this was the CPU cooler but perhaps not? I removed this fan to get to all the dust in the heat sink and undid the clamp (what i...

Hi there. Thanks for your reply. I removed the CPU cooling fan from over the top so I could clean that and get to the heat-sink which was stuffed full of dust. I didn't remove the heatsink itself but I did undo a vice-like mechanism to get more dust out. Wish I had just left all the dust in...

Hi everyone, I bought a PC from PC specialist a number of years ago now. I've posted the set-up below. I had lived abroad for a while and my pc built up tonnes of dust in my mates building site of a house. I took off the fans and unseated a few things when cleaning all that dust out. I was...

Hi all. I recently moved from the UK to New York and the place I have moved into already has an internet/tv plan set-up as I share my flat with 4 other people. Unfortunately my ISP is the dreaded Comcast. I would certainly not chose such a terrible company myself. Speed wise, the connection is...

Hi guys, Since getting my PC I have been having on and off problems with the screens cutting out. PCspecialist have been really good and after some troubleshooting, I now have a replacement graphics card. The graphics card I run is a Radeon HD7870. I used to have both my monitors plugged into...

Hey all. Absolutely loving the set up I bought from PC Specialist but, I have had a problem occur twice now. In mid flow of the game both my monitors will randomly just say "no DVI input". It has only happened twice so far, both times whilst playing AC3. I am unable to get the monitors to...

Hey all. Is there any good ways of improving the wireless signal to my room? Unfortunately moving the router isn't an option. At the moment I get no signal whatsoever in most parts of my room. I bought a Huawei Wi-Fi Repeater hoping this would help but, it made no difference. All it did was...

Hey everyone. Just got paid today and have been looking to get something a bit more powerful for a while now. Unfortunately, due to my living arrangement at the moment, I can't have a desktop in the lounge so I plan on getting a laptop. I oringinally didn't want to spend over £600 but, after...
