Galactic Civilisations 2 is soon to be released. Why am I telling you this? Well, GalCiv 1 was one of the best strategy games I have played in years. It was a well constructed game, it was distributed by the creators as a download and it was under active development for 12 months after the [...]

It’s dead again, I went out of the house only to find it had shut itself off whilst I was out. The best bit is it didn’t just shutdown, it fucked the new powersupply too. So I am having to RMA the powersupply back to DABS.com where they will take 4-6 weeks!!! to resolve the [...]

Well the new powersupply seems to have done the trick as I am writing this on the resurrected machine. I’m still not 100% happy with it though. When powered down the IDE status LED on the front of the case stays dimly lit, as does the LED on the CDRW. My investigations lead me to [...]

Well the new motherboard arrived this week, so it got installed and improved the situation. It failed to solve it though. The new motherboard enabled the system to post info on each reboot, even though it proved not to be the solution it enabled testing of the other possible causes much much easier. Testing of [...]

Well an interesting development has taken place on the dead computer front. Whilst browsing for some new case fans I located clearance motherboard nearly identical to the one that I belive has failed on me. When I say nearly identical I mean a slightly better model than the current one. The best bit is the [...]

Once again I open up the paper to find the PC brigade messing about in day to day life. Marriage is the new banned word. Why? There is a chance it might offend same sex couples in registry offices. What a load of rubbish, most of them will be happy they now have a legal [...]

Posted by Quantum at 11:04 pm
Well after the death of the computer and yet more attempts to fix it I finally gave up on it. On the plus side I now have a case free to build a new system in. I removed all the components and cleaned it all out. It’s almost like new again. The plan on that [...]

Well the hunt for a job is all the more desperate since the failure of my primary desktop machine. Its taken me all day but I have crafted two applications with all the trimmings (to please the HR department no doubt, they have to justify their existance some how). I bet I will never hear [...]

It had to happen at sometime it’s just an inconvienience that it happened now. My primary computer has passed away, . It started to make the odd noise that had me concerned about the status of the main hard drive. I rebooted to run scan disk only for it never to successfully boot again. I [...]
