Oh man is it good to be back! My PSU (it turned out) finally gave up and I couldn't turn the computer on for two full days
but with the help from my brother I got a new PSU fitted and the rest of the parts checked out and now it seems to work. Turns out the old PSU had been used for just under 3 years, although then again I still got the old PSU from my 1998 PC and it's still working and it was used regularly for several years before I upgraded.
I see I got a ton of posts to catch up on and then I hope to get the chance for some more aviation chat so don't be a strange now Gibbo (and the rest of you)
