Get in from work load up the PC and when it gets to the desktop the fans go into overdrive and everything is very very slow to the point of not even loading. I've started a disk check now which usually takes an hour or so. Was absolutely fine last night and it's never done this before, anyone had a similar problem?


Processor could be getting over heated, in which case you'll need to re-apply thermal heat sink paste on.

Your motherboard will have sensors on the fans, so when a CPU gets to a certain temp the fans work harder to cool it. When there isn't enough heat sink on it'll not work as well as it should (and can burn out).

That's the first thing you should check.

Ahh cheers lad, got something similar but from Carlton, no fees other than if I'm crossing currencies. All set I think, just need to pick up a sim card when I get to the airport but won't have much time, hoping it's simple enough

Yeah think that's exactly what it is, opened it up and cleared about 3 tonne of dust out and also looked at the paste. Well there's pretty much nothing there and what is is just dried up. Gonna get some of Amazon today but no PC until it arrives as its completely unusable ffs.

Not a write-off, caved the drivers' side wing in on my car and a bit of the rear passenger side bumper on the other car. Everyone walked away unhurt thank Christ.

I still feel extremely bad for doing it, though I should to be fair. It has made me realise that, throughout the entire time you learn to drive, you are never taught what to do in the event that you have a crash. I've just been sort of muddling through everything so far, having to ask everyone I'm in contact with about it what I have to do next. It's very daunting.

I dont think we get enough teaching on what to do in this event, it seems as though whoever puts the test together believes that accidents/stupidity dont happen. Even during the event, I crashed 2 days after my test when I was 17, basically went round a corner too fast, camber threw me across the road and went into a ditch and knocked a telegraph pole down, and I think I pressed the accelerator instead of the brake in a blind panic, which obviously didnt help.

I passed my test in 2011 and from what I can remember, the instructors seem to spend more time making sure you hold the wheel correctly and turn it the exact amount when doing maneuvers more than anything.

You'd at least think there'd be a "Hooray, you've passed your driving test!" pack, with information like this in it.

Just lodged a claim with my insurance company to get my car repaired so metaphorical wheels are in motion, even if the physical ones aren't.

Is 40 mins enough time to get off the plane and security on the other side? I swear the checks aren't as thorough as when you try to board a plane. Just realised I booked my train ticket for 4.08 and plane arrives at 3.15. Don't have any check in luggage so should be alright, right?

Security on the arrival side is normally extremely minimal. The main checks are when you board the plane.

That should be alright if you don't have luggage, yeah.

Depends of course how far the train station is away from the airport

Yeah, thought so, swear it's only just passport control, depending on queues and getting off the actual plane and shit. Think the train station is right at the airport, flying to Stuttgart and the train station is called Flughafen/Messe which translates to airport..

There's security when you arrive in an airport? It's just passport control isn't it? EU passport queue should be short enough.

Also, arrival times are usually "padded" to make it seem like the plane landed early, so likely you'll actually land a 3pm. You should be ok, but try make it as fast as you can anyway

I wouldn't bother. You're going to get ripped off getting one at the Airport. Unless you desperately need a sim the second you land I'd get one elsewhere.

I am with three, but can get a simcard with T-mobile over there for like 10 euro, plus another 10 euro for 1gb internet. Which part would I get ripped of at the airport for, aren't starter pack prices set?
