Think yerself lucky mr Carnaby as over the weekend my motherboard failed on my Dell, and Dell being Dell means the computer is junk - its only three years old. I am having too write this on my trusted teleprinter!
Blown capacitors Paul?
Dell bought millions of faulty stock capacitors apparently, well, along with everyone else!
I'm on my little laptop, as I'm about to attempt repairing my MB's blown Caps over the weekend.

Not Gigabyte, hopefully
According to Gigabyte, their Solid-Core capacitors will last up to 18 times longer than standard electrolytic capacitors, and 3 times longer than the solid-core capacitors used in other high-end motherboards:
That was a factor in building my current PC (which will probably blow up tomorrow having said that ).
I note today that Gigabyte have once again come top in PC PRO's reliability award (Motherboard category)
I'm glad someone else has mentioned Google Earth disapearing from PCs!
On my current PC (owned just over a year now) GE disapears regularly and then I have to reinstall it, it lasts for a month or so and then just disapears along with the icon, can't find any trace of it in the directories either.
It has disapeared again this week and I realy can't be bothered to reinstall it now, so use Google Maps in Satellite mode!
My trouble was in Windows 7 but I understand W7 has a cleanup routine that removes desktop icons that are little used and apparently some that are frequently used! A system maintenance job that runs in the background I suppose.
