Pingu,
Thanks for your help - that helped me to get everything back to normal again. What a relief. You're a genius!

Where is the best (cheapest) place to buy PC components, fan, heat sink, memory & the like?
Yes Bridie, you do.

eBuyer are good, aye. Scan.co.uk are great too, especially if you get free delivery 'cos you're a member of AVForums, Hexus or a few other places.
If there's something specific you're looking for, keep an eye on hotukdeals.com, but try to avoid any of the comments on the deals, the place is full of numpties and that's just the staff.

Thanks for all the replies, I was rather hoping for directions to shops in Glasgow as I know very little about the components as such, my plan would have been to remove said components, take them to a shop and say "Can I have some working versions of these, please"
Yes Bridie, you do.

Buy cheap, buy twice. I had some OCZ memory that dabs.com were offloading. It was crap. It didn't work properly and kept crashing the system. Soon afterwards, OCZ withdrew from the memory market and I put their crap in the recycling. I don't buy from dabs any more either.
eBuyer are good but speak to John first.

I bought a memory chip from MrMemory, no luck. Contacted them and returned it. New one arrived, no luck. Contacted them and returned it. New one arrived, different manufacturer from the last 2, worked ok.

There is a fault disruption.
Virgin Media Mail is having trouble sending and receiving emails at the moment, so there might be a bit of a delay.
Fault reference: F002395978
found this on virginmedia site when i got in via internet explorer so could the problem be with firefox ?
