          It arrived back and now fires. Working fine as it was before,with the same SSD and Win 11 (new key not needed).

          I don’t know what fixed it, they just sent it back working.

          It’s nice to be using it again.

          Cheers

            It’s a shame they keep changing the socket and the fittings with it. 🙁

            If they stopped you wouldn’t need to buy and buy, money making keeps the economy strong. Strength is needed to bring normality (ish) what ever normal is these days.

                Thanks for the info Ed.

                Thanks JayCee it looks interesting, I have vents the fan might go on, however it would restrict opening the case.

                I pause and think is that fan silent?

                I was hoping to get a  stock type but silent. I have purchased a few that claim to be silent but found not the case.

                I was hopeing someone new of a silent (for sure) one.

                Cheers

                  Thanks Dave I have looked at a few Be Quiet fans can’t seem to find 1200 suitability nor low profile.

                  Ed I am not sure what type of case it is I go on advice (recieved on here) about a previous build (using this case) I don’t think it would be suitable for a sand up type like an artic freezer pro 11. I can’t work out how an external fan would cool an internal CPU.

                      I agree BS but I never got a new one nor my money back. in 2017 I purchased some keys off the bay, I used the last one yesterday (on another rig) and that activated.

                      Where do I find Aclab.

                        Will have to see, JayCee how it comes back.

                        I struggle to find trusted keys, last time I had one off ebay, came to use it weeks later. It didn’t work, the seller said it has to be used within 24hrs?

                          I took out all the USBs I swapped the power supply it was just dead. I did an RMA , they collected it yesterday. The RMA said straight swap, I said about my Windows licence wouldn’t work etc, not heard from them.

                          I don’t know what happens next, I will have to wait and see.

                          Cheers

                            Linux or Windows wouldn’t make any difference to the startup.

                            Thanks Ed

                            I was using it-shut down-no longer works nothing had changed the plug had’t moved nor the rig

                            It was the first thing I checked, I even tried a brand new power cable. It’s like no power (PSU, maybe) I am dying to check but trying to sort out the warranty (is it void as I have opened the case to install M.2 SSD and a -DVD Rom

                                Seen as this thread came out the archives.

                                In the end after all the problems I had I sent the mobo back and had this one with this gfx card.

                                I am now running Windows 11.

                                Cheers

                                  Our village went that way a few years ago now..

                                  Same here, the nearest is miles away I haven’t been to the bank for years. I need to go and change the pin on my card. I keep saying I will go. I have an optitions appointment (same town) next year, I might change my card while I am in the town.

                                      Asus GeForce GT 710 2GB GDDR5 £50 Only get this if you can’t afford anything else. Gigabyte GT 1030 Low Profile D4 2GB £80 All the current GT 1030 cards have only digital output i.e. no VGA. So if you have a VGA only monitor you’ll need an adapter like this for £8.

                                      Going back to the above suggestion I cheated a little (to save money) and purchased this as a cheap substitute. It’s in a gigabyte mobo. The mobo fires (I think) the HDD flickers, I can’t see it on a monitor, is the gfx card purchase not a good substitute for GT 1030 Low Profile D4 2GB.

                                      Using this

                                        I went with the default and it worked, it’s a storage drive. Maybe I should have used with a USB adap and performed a normal initialise – format. I can always do the norm (to me) laters. However it now has many GB of mp3 on.
