Thanks for the reply.
I stripped the laptop last night, cleaned it as best as I could, put some new thermal paste on the CPU and put it all back together. Discharged the battery and gave it a few...

A normal shutdown through the start menu works perfectly.
For the problematic shutdowns, there is no recorded event suggesting a cause. The computer turns off without warning - exactly like if you...

Thanks for the replies.
I unchecked the auto restart option when I installed XP. I doubled checked anyway and while I was sniffing about I checked the event log too. Nothing of note there.
I've...

I have a couple of issues with a Windows 7 install. In device manager, the graphics card (GeForce 6800 LE) and the on-board sound device (Realtek AC97) are, more often than not, listed with Code 39...

CCleaner is a good bit of free software. Available directly from www.ccleaner.com
It allows secure deletion of files to various standards. It'll clean up a lot more than just Firefox and Explorer...

This is quite a long post. It needs some explaining to avoid wasting your time.
My other half has a HP zd7000 series laptop, more precisely the zd7143ea. It's a second hand machine but is in good...

I had the same issues as described above using IE7 on XP Pro. Very annoying but I have just this minute resolved the problem. I'd been playing with the registry up until now, but that was a waste of...

increased the heapsize to 384mb and managed to play through lost coast (for the 1st time) without a crash. i suspect that is a good sign since lost coast is quite graphically intensive. i'm gonna...

i gave your suggestion a shot in lost coast and really pushed it to force a crash. stuck on noclip and went through scenery and that crashed it nicely. i might try increasing the heapsize some more...

thanks for the tip. i'll give it a shot if i get a chance this afternoon and report back. i take it you were running a creative soundcard and a nvidia graphics card too? they seem to be the main...

Thanks for the reply. That link is an interesting read. According to System Information, the Audigy has it's own IRQ of 17. It's positioned as close as I can get to the graphics card. The 6800 is on...

Yes that's correct. I've tried all the solutions on the support post regarding the issue and it still crashes with loops

I'm having a bit of a problem with half-life 2 and looping sounds. I'll start with my specs and move on to the problem itself.

I seem to have fixed it. Uninstalled all codec packs on my PC, uninstalled .NET 2 and all recent MP10 updates and reinstalled directx and MP10 and it started working.
Suspect that the k-lite codec...

I tried to uninstall MP10 but it wouldn't let me. I believe from some further reading that MP uses components of directX to go about its daily duties, so checking in dxdiag told me that system.dll is...

I'm having some issues with WMP10 at the moment. For some reason over the last few days it has stopped playing videos, whether that be divx/xvid or mpeg. It will play wmv ok and wav/mp3.
I've...

Thanks for the reply CeeBee!
I'm probably limited in what I can spend on a microcontroller since I've already spent a good £160 on RF kit and components here and there. Do you have any specific...

Hey all,
I'm a 4th year Aero Mechanical Engineering student, and for my individual project this year I'm trying to come up with a tension monitoring RF system to be used during a glider/sailplane...

Tried all the above mentioned things. Checked the services and DHCP wasn't running. Tried to start it and it moaned about dependencies. Checked them and a quick search on the web told me that SYMTDI...

I tried using the winsockxpfix program you can pick up on the web but that didnt seem to help any. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the NIC later on if I get the chance.

Thanks for the reply. I've connected computers to the network on many occasions so it's not procedure problems. Proxies are setup correctly too.
I'll check for activity on the port later on. I'm...

Thanks for the reply. The laptop is always plugged into the mains because "the battery doesn't last long". I wonder why :rolleyes:. I've tried the machine with 2 different cables and 2 different...

Thanks for the speedy reply. I'd tried that before but I couldn't remember what it moaned about, but a re-run gives the error: "rpc server is unavailable". I've tried restarting the rpc server but it...

I was asked last week to take a look at a friend's laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D CY 23) as it had stopped accessing the Uni network for some reason. I had a little look through and noticed that XP...

Aye, Garak had suggested that, however an email I got today from the owners says that the computer has started first time (ie no more 4 on and offs) on a number of occasions since the repair install...
