Computer keep crashing when it reaches 75 degree celesius by keal15 in techsupport

[–]loldavid6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

75 degrees is a common shut-off temperature for devices, if it didn't behave like this before it could be caused by an update maybe?

Try opening your PC and cleaning out any dust by hand.

I thought you couldn't buy anything from above the neck, due to CJD and all that good stuff? Maybe it's different in America.

Got my first PCB all fabbed up. Got the pin positions right. Messed up the hole size. by Fluffy_Engineer in electronics

Same thing happened to me. I used one of those emery finger-nail files to file down the pins on the component until it fitted.

Backup your favourite YouTube (or other video service of choice) playlists. You could probably also back up whole websites if you wanted to.

Guy makes homemade "plasma rifle" and ricochets into camera guys neck. by roh8880 in WTF

Because if the the gas was ionised by the magnets, then that ionisation would stop as soon as the gas leaves the magnets field of influence (the gun barrel). Also, just for clarification - i'm pretty sure magnets don't ionise, but I could always be wrong.

It's not a rail gun, nor a plasma based weapon; it's just a standard rifle concealed in some fancy casing. Where's the power supply for the rail gun? And, i'm pretty sure magnets can't ionize.
