    Santa is a persistent drink driver too. You add up all those glasses of brandy that people leave out.

    Does the panel think that Santa will get a state pension? I mean, he only works for one day each year, and nobody sees him working either? It sounds like benefit fraud to me....

    PCSPECIALIST One-liners

    This is going to come as something of a shock to many of you, so please be sure you're sitting down and not holding anything made of glass. Santa isn't real. I know, that came as a bit of a surprise. Whilst were at it the Tooth Fairy isn't real either. Or the Loch Ness monster - I'm not 100%...

    PCSPECIALIST PC bought in july 2024 randomly crashing

    I help out with BSODs on several other forums. You would be amazed at the number of times that mismatched RAM causes problems. ALWAYS buy RAM in packs.

    PCSPECIALIST Memory Hard Faults

    Apologies, but I've only just seen this thread. When you were running the Resource Monitor did you note which processes were experiencing hard page faults? You can do that by clicking on the Hard Faults/sec header to sort the Memory display on that column. The processes experiencing hard page...

    Bah! Humbug. You don’t think me ill-used, when I pay a day’s wages for no work. A poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of December!

    PCSPECIALIST Just bonkers

    When I lived aboard my yacht in the marina here I used to run the weekly Sunday BBQ. We bough charcoal locally in big 50kg bags. On the outside it' said "Made in Argentina". How can it be cheaper to ship burnt wood across the Atlantic than to just burn wood here? I later found out that they...

    You have bad RAM, as suspected. If it's still under warranty then contact PCS to get BOTH RAM sticks RMA'd. DO NOT just replace one stick, demand a pair of matched sticks.

    PCSPECIALIST Frequent BSOD on new pc

    Notwithstanding the comments from @SpyderTracks, who absolutely knows what he's talking about when it comes to hardware, you probably want to try and stop the BSODs. The dumps strongly suggest that bad RAM may be the cause of these BSODs. Since you have two sticks of 16GB Corsair...

    Based on all those dumps, some of which fail with different bugcheck codes, I still think that bad RAM is the most likelyu cause here. You need to test your RAM...

    PCSPECIALIST PC bought in july 2024 randomly crashing

    I agree totally with the opinions above, Windows Defender and Windows Firewall are all you need. Based on those dumps, some of which fail with different bugcheck codes, I still think that bad RAM is by far the most likely cause here. You should test your RAM (at 4800MHz)... Download Memtest86...

    I'm watching the Guy Martin in China programme. He's just said that it's cheaper to ship Scottish cod to China to be filleted and then ship it back to be sold in Scottish supermarkets, than it is to fillet it in Scotland. How mad is that?

    PCSPECIALIST ACPI.sys BSOD Help

    If the PSU has been working hard for 4 years it's entirely possible that it' struggling now, especially since you've made it work even harder with that new GPU. I would plan to replace that PSU in the near future. OK, that's important information. Thank you If you can only run in Safe Mode...

    PCSPECIALIST ACPI.sys BSOD Help

    I did wonder about that PSU, particularly as all the dumps, including the latest, fail in ACPI. How old is this system? If @SpyderTracks thinks that your PSU may be on the small side it's probably been working at near its peak power since you had the PC, that may cause it to start to become...
