Computer Problems

[ChrisIMRIE]

Hey Peeps,

Got everything i needed for the new computer last night, fitted everything and booted up, and was greeted with a clonking noise from hell.

Damn Royal Mail must of known a HDD was in the package and decided to give if a few bangs here and there for fun.

Anyway got onto Overclockers today and got it RMA'd and persuaded my kind father to take a trip to PC World (the prices!!!) and i purchased another SATA HDD, Samsung 80Gb and some cleaning wipes for the screen it was filthy.

Got the pc working now, ill post some pics up later, but the spec is on my signature and im gonna change the HDD part of the spec as its wrong now.

Want to say thanks anyway to Postill for trying to help last night,

Regards

Chris

Glad you have got your PC now... How long ago was it that you decided to make a PC?

Moved to general.

How much did the Samsung HDD set you back then? I bet it was extortionatly expensive...!

You better hope OCUK agree to refund you as opposed to replace the HDD...!

You impressed with your speeds and temps etc etc? I want to know how far your 5700LE overclocks and your 3DMark score.

Well the HDD set me back around £50 ish quid and the wipes were £4

I have yet to test speeds as im in the install process at the moment.

I decided to make a new pc around 2/3 months ago and bought the parts bit by bit.

And yes OCUK are fully refunding me.

Yay! you got a laptop!

I didn't know this! - you like it BETTER than your PC?

 

[ChrisIMRIE]

Well yeah the laptop is good.

Now ive overclocked the card and im trying again.
