Still been very pleasant today in the North-east - warm but more manageable than last week. Did a walk in the lake District on Friday and it just about killed me climbing those mountains in the heat. Nice to be able to be up on the tops though in just a T-shirt.

My favourite part of the world is the Lakes. No better place to walk!

The heat hasn't been too bad over here, it was surprisingly much worse in May.

The heat here is not optimal, but it isn't as bad as the humidity. As soon as I step outside my glasses fog up, and my whole body becomes an armpit.

Purchased a new labtop today. The old one was getting real old, and consequently very slow, and extremely hot, which made it self-close with all sorts of warnings, so I figured it was time to buy a new machine. Currently in the process of moving content from the old one to the new one and installing programs
 I like using the internet, but I don´t enjoy the technical side of it or computers for that matter. I couldn´t care less. They should just Work regardless of what happens...

So true. Soon after I got the computer I have now, it started restarting itself for no reason. Still does, and of course it's always at the most inconvenient times.

You should really get that looked at, especially if its new.
Is it a Windows? If it is next time it does it afterwards open your Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs > System and see if there's an entry at the time it last happened. Might give you a clue as to why it shut downs and restarts on its own. Might be something to do with the power supply, maybe bad RAM too. Have you tried restoring it to factory settings and seeing if it still happens? Edited by 666sharon666 - 09 Jul 2015 at 3:45pm |

Thankfully it´s much easier today than it was back in 1997 when I got my first PC. You needed an Expert to just turn the PC on back then
 . Fortunately I knew a  WHO could help me. While it´s easier it´s still a bitch when someting goes wrong

My laptop had this buzzing noise whenever I would play sound with it when I first had it. I had Dell on the phone multiple times trying to get help because I couldn't figure it out. Eventually they sent an engineer who replaced everything in the machine except the case and the screen and it still didn't fix it.
Turned out the problem was the internal microphone causing interference. Happened to mention it at uni one day and a friend of mine fixed it in under a minute (she'd had the same problem), yet it stumped all of Dell's supposed experts I spoke to.

^Isn't it always ironic when a friend knows more then so called 'experts'.
I tried looking at the logs and I was thinking it may have been a problem that was created when I ran a Doom server last year. I took down the static IP, but it didn't help. My dad suggested that it might be the power supply as well, but I would have to get it looked at to make sure. I haven't tried restoring it, if all else fails I'll probably give that a try.

Just make sure you back up everything important first, as a factory reset will wipe all your saved files. It might not help, depends if it's software or hardware related. Going to factory settings should clear that up though; if its still doing it, it's hardware.

Dell are pretty damn useless to be honest. They did all that for the laptop when it didn't need it but when my desktop had a genuine problem I had to argue with them for days before they'd send an engineer out with a replacement part.

I'm thinking about getting a new one soon, my current one was pretty good when it came out and I've had it 10 years now without any problems so i've definitely had my moneys worth out of it. When i want to use it I have to turn it on 30 minutes in advance! I was waiting for the next Windows to be released before buying it but I believe you can get an automatic upgrade anyway if you buy one now.

Yeah you can, so long as you have 7 or 8 already. It's only free for a limited time though. Not sure how long, off hand. |

Yeah I didn´t like Windows 8 either, but I´ve come to get used to it, as we use it on my job. The new computer has Windows 8 too.

I can see why Windows is so popular but I love my Arch Linux with Gnome Shell. It is so much faster and so much more reliable than windows.

I've used Ubuntu Linux, and it runs really well. Really the only reason I use Windows over Ubuntu is that it's easier to play video games on it.
