Hi guys, I'm a Brit who'll be moving to Japan soon to work as an alt for a year or so and I was wondering if it'd be possible to learn to ride the motorbike while I'm there. I have a full UK driving licence and I'll have an international licence before I leave for Japan.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I'm currently playing through my brother's US import of Persona 4: Golden on my Vita, I was wondering whether if I buy myself a UK copy, can my current save from the US import copy can be carried on? or would I need to start a new game? Thanks in advance!

For a few months (maybe reaching 4th one now) my computer had started started booting with 5 short beeps, sometimes varying with 5 sets of 5 really short and quick beeps, and then works fine. I've opened my pc up many times and reseated the cpu/heat-sink and cleaned all my components but this still happens. Does anyone know what could be causing this? thanks in advance!

I had recently bought a digital copy of Mass Effect 2 from Origin, when I run the install it fails every time (I have tried at least 4 times), stating that it 'could not open a data file', the same thing happens when I tried installing it on my laptop. Does anyone know what's happening? any help will be appreciated.

I was watching a show on itunes when I suddenly hear a loud pop sound, after which my PC just completely turns of. The light on my mother board still remains turned on, but when I press the power button nothing happens. I was receiving voltage warnings prior to this but I thought they were just of minor importance, I was obviously wrong. I have already taken the PC apart and plugged everything back in but still no luck. Can someone please tell me what's wrong with my PC and how I can fix it?

Hi guys, I had recently finished building my first rig so I am very much a noob when it comes to overclocking and fiddling around in the BIOS settings. This is what I have running at the moment;

Case: Coolermaster HAF X

Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair Formula V

RAM: A couple of Dominators

Video Card: XFX Radeon 6870

CPU Cooler: Coolermaster V6GT

And a couple of hard drives, and an optical drive

The problem is that when I turned it on for the first time I hear one short beep, which I read is normal, and then it is followed by one long beep with four short ones, and the screen says that there's a CPU fan error. I turned the system off completely and turned it on again, this time watching the V6GT, I noticed that it doesn't start spinning as soon as I pressed the button but it does immediately after the long beep with four short beeps.

Can anyone help with this problem? Any help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance

so currently this is what i plan for my new rig;

Case - Coolermaster HAF X

PSU - Coolermaster GX 750W PSU

CPU - AMD Phenom II x6 1100T

Motherboard - ASUS Crosshair IV Formula

Graphics adaptor - XFX Radeon HD 6870

RAM - Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9

Optical Drive - LG GH22NS50.AUAA

OS - Windows 7 Home Premium

SSD - OCZ Vertex 2 120GB

Bearing in mind that I am not concerned with the last components or an extreme computer, but would like to build a very capable AMD computer. This is going to be my first build and I would appreciate any input regarding the compatibility of these components together, or if there have been major problems with any of them, thanks in advance!

Hi there, I am new to this computer building world, it was recommended by a friend to build my own computer so I decided to give it a go. After a week's worth of research of how to build one and what components I need I am now confident of how to physically build one, however I am not sure of the compatibility of my components, can anyone please advise me whether or not these parts will actually work together, and whether i could get a better version of it for the same price. Thanks in advance!

I have just received my grades for my A-level, not as expected, so i had then been put through clearing where i managed to get into a last minute english with Politics course in Canterbury Christ church. however, i have now found that i can instead do an IT practitioners course in Bexley college for one year giving me more UCAS points, allowing me to attend possibly a better university and possibly do a better subject. I am not sure about this, and am currently confused, as this English/Politics course was only chosen because of my low UCAS points. But if i get more, i could do a better subject. I would just like to know if this is a good and valid idea, especially if you have been in a similar situation.

I have just got Windows 7 Ultimate with a new laptop, and recently i've noticed the when I view movies that I have bought from the itunes store, through file explorer, the thumbnails of the actual files have changed to album art. Is there any way i can do this manually for avi/mkv files as i am finding the need to convert most of my videos to mp4 just to add these album artwork icons.

I currently own a HP 6830s, which now has a failing hard drive, when looking for a new one i have come across with many from SATA to generic and even SATA II, I am totally confused on which to get, can someone please advise on what to buy, and what type I should be looking for??

I currently use a HP 6830s (Windows Vista Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 1.80GHz, 3GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430, and a Blu-Ray drive), it has been working fine for just over 2 years, and suddenly (since this morning) I have began to receive error messages warning me of my hard disk failing. Despite my laptop's constant 'Not Responding' windows and the frozen screens that follow, I still find it hard to believe that my actual hard drive is failing. Could the error messages be a mistake? if not, how serious is this 'failure' and is it fix-able??

i have a laptop (hp 6830s), which i use primarily, in addition to the laptop screen i have recently started using a 15" packard bell monitor to extend my desktop. Everything has been working perfectly for 2 weeks, but now my external monitor (the Packard Bell) keeps going blank, the vga is still properly connected, the plug is still working, and even the light to tell me if the monitor is turned on is green. i have ran out of ideas and utterly clueless on what to do now, does anyone have any ideas that doesn't involve me having to buy a new monitor, or returning this one?

i am currently doing the final model of my building that i have designed for my graphics A level project, and i need to know how to make Miniature chairs and tables for it, can someone help, or even point me towards a website that sells these sorts of things??

i am currently in my last year of 6th form and i have absolutely no idea of what to do, i am currently confused between studying law, or journalism or english literature, the thing i am confused most about is what careers i can do with either of these subjects, can anyone recommend the most promising one???

Hypothetically, if i get a U for AS and an A for A2, what would my averaged grade be??

i have found that recently my sony ericsson W910i has been turning itself on and off whilst resetting is time and date afterwards, i don't know why, please help

i have recently accidently sat on my psp 2000, which is still within it's warranty, but will they still replace my unit or will i have to purchase a new one??

i was just wondering with e3 this year ad all if the psp will be getting a points system like the ps3 and xbox 360, or is that just too much to ask for?
