Do I want to give in and let Microsoft install Windows 10 or is it not a good idea?

100% up to you mate, IMO looking at your position you will probably benefit from upgrading to windows 10, its just not for all and everyone.Quote:

Don't fix it if it aint broken.
If you are using it for home/personal use then do some homework on what apps/programs you will lose in the upgrade (Win 7 Media Center for example). Keep in mind, once you do, you lose a lot of control over updates (forced, heavy on internet usage) and get a metric ton of shitty apps that M$ shove down your throat.
Anyone know how to stop emails being sent from myself? Lol. I the last week I have been getting around two emails a day being sent to me, from me.
what is the content of the emails? something you have sent? or something someone else has sent as in something you dont remember putting together(sent from your email addy)Quote:

When I had an email service through big pond I had mysterious email sent from me to me occasionally . Never bothered me so never found out why as talking to big pond help desk is like pulling teeth.

All emails have the same or similar subject, weight loss pills and workout suppliments. Lol.
I'm using Thunderbird as my client...
I have just been googling it and it seems theres no real way to stop this apparently. So I have just set up a filter for now to dump them into the junk folder. Some sites did say it will eventually stop. I hope. My business email has been pretty clean with no spam up until a few weeks ago and its quite bad now.
Could have something to do with your email / eBay being hijacked last week ? Maybe.

Sounds like you need to update your password and check the outgoing server hasnt been changed/accessed also. Who is your email provider? My sister had her yahoo account compromised and they changed the outgoing mail server and started sending emails from her account to all people in here contacts asking for money. No amount of password resets would block the culprits out as they had a backdoor through that mail server. You might find if you're receiving emails from yourself you probably have yourself listed in your mail contacts.Quote:

oh and it wont be (highly unlikely) anything to do with thunderbird, its more likely that the webversion of your yahoo/gmail/live settings have been changed etc...Quote:

Fingers are crossed
Pc wont boot up any suggestions before I burn it.
Does it do anything at all when you press the power button? Lights blinking, etc?
Where exactly does it hang ? Plugged anything new in recently like a USB device? ? If so unplug it and try...Quote:

Yes usual lights come on in the tower, fans power up etc. But thats all. I can power it off its like the button is simply an off switch and the os isnt booting up or something.
Nope. It was doing this intermittently but has decided to not go at all now. The most recent thing I did was disconnect a hard drive that I took some photos and stuff off from an old lap top.Quote:

Mat try unplugging anything usb like keyboard , mouse etc and see what happens. Pretty much just leave the monitor and power plugged in.
Then boot it .

I had a chat with him last night hodge, I'm thinking is psu related or cpu has over heated, he mentioned a fan on the case spun up quite fast yesterday which points to over heating I think. What do you think hodgeQuote:

It's very hard diagnosing remotely .
Honestly could be a number of things given symptoms so far.

yep i agree. CPU was worst case scenario. PSU is the most likely culprit atm.Quote:

How did you get to the conclusion the cpu was stuffed?
Haha yeah, it doesn't look good for them but tbh it's not like they can be selling factory seconds or anything, they are reputable brands I would just say is bad luck.Quote:

there you go. @nissannewby, they are not a unreliable device either, i have build 5 other computers with this processor and none of them have failed, those setups are used in devices that are on every business day and are used for batch photo processing. doing the minimal work like you are should be no problem at all for the little CPU Cooler. @Nisshead, when you got the CPU tested did they suggest upgrading the CPU cooler or anything like that as a precautionary measure?Quote:

Like Rusty said they are used in Mas workstations mainly and are produced by millions for Dell etc .

So it has decided to work kind of. I get a warning say the cpu or memory has been changed. Do I just use default settings?
