Daily Quiz anyone?
"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
"Thanks all, I'm back!! Motherboard had died, not sure if it was when I cleaned it a few weeks ago with an air duster as sometimes the duster shoots out liquid rather than air, who knows! Anyway the repairer had a second hand case, motherboard, heat sink etc lying around so it all looks pretty new in there now and he configured it so just turned it on and back as good as new. Bit quicker too. £216 well spent as hopefully it will last a while now. Saved by the processor apparently as it's old but decent. Will have to start thinking about a new PC though at some stage, but this at least now works!!"

Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
"A failrly miserable 7 today thanks. I had a motherboard die (MSI NVidia graphics) and managed to pick up a second hand one for not much on Ebay. Swapping the second hand one in was fiddly but it booted forst time wiht no issues. I also weird issues once where the PC used to die randomly and this got more frequent and finally it would not boot at all. This turned out to be the power supply and was a easy fix. Also got a nice modular power supply (Be Quiet dar power) that lasted me 12 years and two further PCs before it, literally, went bang. Luckliy I had a spare knocking around."

Thanks Cough. Seems there is an issue with the motherboard which is annoying since it was brand new two years ago!! Anyway.

"I wouldn't bother with an image, I've changed m/boards without reinstalling everything, I just took the old HDD transferred it to the new machine and let Windows use it's plug and play magic. You may have to reboot it a few times to get a clean device manager, if not, the most important drivers are the chipset drivers, which should come with your new m/board. Good luck anyway."
Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
I should really buy a new one but just can't be arse3 with re installing everything from scratch. Was bad enough last year. Have one of these image back ups but because the mother board was the thing that went true image was useless! I just back up all my important docs onto a USB stick.
