    Dude – you’ve got to run Memtest! I’d guess you have a memory error -it’s free, man, why not?

    SMART is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology and allows you to tell if your hard drive is about to fail. It is not infallible, but an extended test can be run for free by several programs. It’s worth checking as failing hard drives can load or save corrupt data and bugger the PC up. Usually you’ll find it just hangs as the drive as the drive fails to read a sector and the PC waits for that ’till you loose patience and restart.

    However, sometimes other funny issues pop up with a failing HDD so it’s worth running a test even if only to rule it out.

    Try this in Windows. Download and install Speedfan then head over to the SMART tab and run extended tests on your drive(s). I usually also read the report, which is where it sends the test data to a website which gives you a more intelligible interpretation of the jargon returned. If nothing fails, I wouldn’t get worried about it, but it might show up your problem. You can also use it to monitor and graph your various sensor temps*.

    It’s the same with Memtest+ – you need to eliminate things at this point.

    If it’s neither of these I’d be guessing PSU as next most likely.

    *Some mobo temps may be higher than you expect, my EX58 board has the chipset up to 80. Well it did ’till I removed the stupid decorative sticker that covered most it. Thanks Gigabyte, really well thought out. 🙄

    C’mon you lot. Bump. Or does nobody even care about Manitou? I had an excellent set of Blacks – can’t Manitou get their customers back?

    Aaaah- the shocks have occurred when I am riding with no hands – it’s a flat straight road and i’m on a 26″ wheel bike.

    I don’t wish to torment anybody – I am curious to hear if its happened to other people 🙂

    I can hear the lines crackling when I sit in the adjacent field

    EDIT:
    plus one – I thought it was a wasp – it hurts, hence taking off my shorts.

    scaredy – Yes I have heard of spontaneous combustion. Do you think it’s like in these circumstances? Can I claim danger money – it’s on the way in to my work 🙁 I think may get the train tomorrow – it’s been humid in Northamptonshite

    “There is a patisserie called cocorico on whitchurch road that has amazing cakes! it doesn’t look like much from the outside really but worth a visit. run by a proper french patisserie. its a bit out of town though.

    in town there is pettigrews. it can be a bit pricey but they have massive portions of cake and more tea than anyone could drink.

    theres a fairly new creperie called sophies which do nice crepes but not so much cake, but they’re good, there’s also a place called ‘the plan’ and a deli called ‘wally’s’ which has a cafe upstairs – mostly german foods i think, and good savoury stuff too.

    think that’s about it really. there’s always costa, neros, john lewis and other more generic places too.
    hope this helps. “

    I asked the foremost tea, coffee and cake taster in Cardiff for you, my friend the Dr. – I trust her advice implicitly

    Sorry – I forget, chewkw. Did you run SMART tests, run disk surface verify and reinstall the OS?

    I’d go for 16GB of RAM, I’ve never had too much RAM, and it’s pretty cheap now. I’d also buy an external hard drive. The most common problem with computers is hard drive failure, and it’s also the worst if you don’t have a backup.

    Oh, and if you get one built, get a case with dust filters you can clean easily.

    Ask him something about it, maybe just say it’s a really cool bike. Then, if you think he really has nicked it tell him it needs some adjustment – maybe bottom bracket or something like that. Ask him where he might get it serviced, maybe recommend a place [Halfords – LOL]. Maybe you can even find an excuse to turn it over and snap the frame number I’ll just look this BB up on the internet for you etc etc.

    Make a few phone calls or visits to the local bike shops and suggest to them they take the frame number and look that up on nicked bike databases when it’s brought in.

    My 2 cents
