I've always liked Jurassic 5 (The Jurassic 5 'LP' in particular), Blackalicious and the whole Quannum collective.

I think that if you *hope* you are being flirted with, then *assume* you are being flirted with, and if so, dip a toe rather than take a running jump. :)

We DO have the greatest rugby team, also the first 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' is in Wales. There's a rumour that America was names after a Welshman, Richard ap Meryk and there is a Welsh colony in Patagonia. The language is one of the oldest in Europe, predating Latin, and is...

I'm beside myself with anticipation. I can't wait to once again 'cry "HAVOC" and let slip the dogs of war!' Can anyone confirm that the wardogs will be making a comeback? Please??

Apologies for the poorly worded question - I'm glad you caught the gist :) I like the idea of the Discworld too, but do you mean just Ankh Morpork or the entire thing? I haven't checked, but some lunatic is probably making it on 1:1 scale in Minecraft somewhere, complete with giant turtle...

I totally dig the 'Culture' sci-fi epics of Iain M Banks and I would love to be able to experience that universe outside of the books. They are way too vast for a movie to do them justice, but a huge rpg??? Amazing. What do you all think should be gameified?

I recently moved my girlfriend into my house and what with all the dinner she keeps making me and the 'together-time' we keep having ;) and the fact my workload at work recently got cranked-up, forcing me to do stuff at home, I'm finding it really difficult to get in some good gaming time...

Volsung is my favourite - big boost to armour, extra 20 points of carrying weight, 20% better prices and WATERBREATHING!! (I'm not an Argonian). There's some sweet lake-loot!

Try asking the toddler to help you with the baby, like, asking her to get stuff for you or to choose some toys the baby might like. If you involve the toddler in all the baby stuff, she gets to feel important, especially if you heap praise on her, frequently telling her what a good girl she is...

The processor could indeed be dead but I'm trying to rule everything else out before I have to send it back - I'd feel like a bit of a dick (and would curse myself for wasting so much time) if AMD sent it back saying it was fine... :) Also, AM3 boards only support AM3 processors but AM3+...

My board has an 8 pin ATX socket and its definitely in properly. I'm starting to think that RAM timings or voltages could be the problem but I've not had to meddle with this before. Has anyone had a similar problem? Naturally I don't want to fry my rig so does anyone have any pointers on...

I get no POST without CPU. According to Gigabyte it shouldn't be able to do that anyway, so I'm not surprised. Worth a test though, although it did boot into BIOS with a different CPU - that's how I managed to flash the BIOS. I get no beep codes with no RAM installed. All fans spin (HSF...

Thanks guys, but the fans spin for as long as I leave it on (which isn't long). I have done an out-of-the-case build with minimal parts, all of which I have swapped out with known working ones, with the exception of the motherboard as I don't have a spare AM3+ socket one lying around. The...

I'm no noob to pc building, but no pro either - A dedicated enthusiast you could say. However, I've just upgraded my rig and I don't get anything; no beep codes, no POST, no BIOS. The long and the short of it is that I think there's some compatibility issue between my CPU (AMD FX6100) and my...
