OK to update you on whats happened. Well  i dunno really   ::)  thought it was the RAM but its turned out not to be, fiddled round this morning with taking out the 64 and replacing it with 256  didnt work at first but on 2nd reboot it did  :-\  anyway  the Mobo seems ok but there was a bit missing  (jumper cover) ? anyway i will be  e mailing the manafacturer about that  so all in all turned out OK  thanks to that sad old trout, HOW  she stays awake until the wee hours is beyond me, im shattered  :'(


p.s. I need to replace with DDR ram  and I would appreciate links to sites  so any ideas are appreciated  :-*

http://www.crucial.com/uk/index.asp I always buy Crucial Memory as it carries a lifetime warranty, Sandra swears by it also. But I usually buy it from this firm, it is good for next day delivery, without paying a postage premium Dabs

I often use the following, and others but I can't remember them right now  ::)

ARIA
Overclock

Alternatively, and this is a good suggestion too, buy (yes   B U Y   :o :o  as opposed to looking through it in WHSmith) a copy of Micro Mart and look through the adds to see who is cheapest at the momnet and then visit their web sites

Good hunting  ;)

That's good to hear Serenity!  Many congratulations on your successful venture.  You never know what you can do until you try.  That's why I don't know what I can do.   :lol:

This is about the best deal I can find for you Serenity on 512 mb DDR PC 2700 at £63-44 inc vat and free delivery from :

http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/PartSpecs.asp?imodule=CT6464Z335&cat=RAM

The site Bat suggested (Aria) is slightly cheaper excluding postage but works out dearer when postage is added.
If the 256 mb SDRAM is now working ok I would wait for a month or two and see if DDR drops back to where it was a few months ago when you could get it for less than £50 for the same size  :-*

:bald:  Ive had hells own job trying to sort this  stoopid PC out (thats not a pun to start another religious thread ok ;)  )

Well just to let you all know, I appear to have sorted all my glitches out and the slow loading of pages etc. Can you believe I has 2 YES 2!!!! viruses on here  :'(  the "Welchia" and "Nachi" viruses  :'( both were detected after visiting the NTL site for assistance. AND before you say it Baldy YES I did it all by myself  :P

So if any of you are using NTL connection and would like to know about a potential virus threat and how to remove it, refer the THIS link and Im sure it will be of some use >>
