"If you were asked by a customer to carry out a task which was not within your job description, how would you respond?"

This question is slightly crafty because if you say "I'd tell the customer no", then the interviewer would wonder why you weren't willing to go the extra mile. Yet, if you say "I'd do it", the interviewer may question your lack of reasonable objectiveness. So, people, what's the best answer to give??

It's been a week since my new build has been up and running pretty smoothly. I hadn't had the chance to test the systems potential until tonight

so I decided to run a little test, which I didn't consider to have been too vigorous. I began by ripping a Blu-Ray movie using DVDFab 8 which uses

CUDA Technology from my GPU to supposedly speed up video encoding. Whilst ripping the Blu-Ray disc, I opened Firefox web browser and visited

YouTube and viewed three videos simultaneously, one in 1080p res and two in the default 480p res. Upon opening the third video, my computer froze,

then suddenly the dreaded BSOD :o . I was also running Asus AI Suite II sensor and CoreTemp to monitor my temps.

Do you guys consider this to be enough to cause a BSOD :??: My rig has the following specs:

Mobo: Asus P8P67 Deluxe

CPU: intel Core i7 2600

GPU: Gigabyte 560Ti OC

RAM: 12GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz

PSU: Corsair HX650

CPU Cooler: Prolimatech Armageddon

Case: NZXT Phantom with 5 case fans

All help and suggestions (and insults ;) ) are welcomed

Need a walk-in retail store where i can purchase PC components like high-end CPU coolers, nVidia graphics cards etc. PC World is crap and it seems as though all the good stuff can only be purchased online :( All suggestions are welcomed.

I installed a new CPU and heatsink, turned my PC on and realised that the wire from the heatsink was obstructing the heatsink fan. So i powered down the system and removed the heatsink so i could angle it better but upon doing this, i noticed the pre-applied thermal paste had melted already! The system wasn't on for no longer than 2-3 mins. Will i need to apply more thermal paste now, or is it ok to install the heatsink as it is?

P.S didn't realise the CPU gets so hot so quick 0_o!

Possible silly question alert! (but you'll earn some easy points ;)

My motherboard (Asus P8P67 Deluxe) only support Dual Channel memory architecture. If i want 12 GB of RAM, does it need to be in a sequence like; x2 4GB and x2 2GB. Or can it be x2 4GB and x1 8GB? All advice (and insults :p) are welcome!

I'm attempting to build my first PC and need advice as to which power supply would be adequate for my system. My specs are;

Intel Core i7 2600 processor

Asus P8P67 Deluxe motherboard

12GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM 1600Mhz

2TB Hard drive 5400RPM

x2 Blu Ray/DVD RW/Light-scribe drives

Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti Graphics card

PC case with 7 Integrated fans

Not sure about a sound card as i may use on-board sound, and may skip CPU cooling as im not that much of an intense gamer. All suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated.

I've purchased a bar of soap which claims to be natural and included in the ingredients are sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide. I know these compounds are used in the process to make soap, but doesn't the common process of purifying soap involve removal of sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide? I'm confused....?

Preferably without physically opening my PC chassis? Thanks.

I'm flying to Dominican Republic, Punta Cana region, and I'm curious as to whether i need to take anti-malaria pills. My doctor explained that the region i am traveling to is a low risk malaria zone, but should take the pills as a precaution. But i know people who have been and have come back as fit as a fiddle. I have heard the side-effects of the malaria pills are pretty nasty so i don't want to take that risk if its not needed. Whats your opinion/advice?

For the past 3 days now, every time i switch my computer on, there is an automatic security update prompt which shows as a little yellow shield in the bottom right-hand corner of the task bar. I install the update, which is followed by an automatic reboot, but upon reboot, the same security update appears again. The security update is the MS XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2, please help!

Hi. I recently left AOL and signed up with 02 broadband. I've uninstalled the AOL software through window's add/remove programs, like the browser, spy ware protection etc, but there are still stray AOL components.
