Son of a...
I put in RAM and video card upgrades last Tuesday. Then on Friday my computer just up and died on me. Dell is sending me a new motherboard (thank God it's still under waranty). Unfortunately I don't know how long it will take to get here. Until it arrives my posts will be kinda rare since I'm having to do it from work.
"DUDE...you're getting a Dell..."
bet you hate that slogan now.:eek:
My name is Gavor, and I am funky.
My name is Gavor, i am a :monkey4:
uhhh...hooked on phonics?
you know this is funny.... i just got a thing from dell.... a page with a new comp on. it.... so CHEAP.. and i will have the same comp as the devs had on E3 if im gonna buy it :D
sorry about you Mike.. i had a simular problem once.... plus some virus back then deleted my hard drive as well.... so consider yourself just a little lucky :D
Well, Dell called me last night. They are out of stock so now it will be 3 to 5 business days. Man this sucks.
But seriously, this is a sad moment and the reason I always build my own PC's.
I am Gavor hear me roar,
With undies too big to ignore.
:max:

I have been without a computer for almost 2 weeks now and I still don't have the new motherboard. Does anybody have Michael Dell's home phone number? I want to call and yell at him a bit.
Not only am I seriously pissed, but I'm going through serious computer withdrawal symptoms.
[falls to the floor in convulsions]
I will pray for you at my PC altar.
<sees GTA3 running>
Hey hey, wheee, vroom vroom, arrrrr, take that you *&#^$!
<looks confused> Was there something i forgot to do?.... Ah well. Screech! Pow pow! Zoom zoom zoom, rat a tata. Ha ha, eat lead copper!
On the bright side, I'm beating you now at Star Wars Trivia v1.1. :)
sorry. I know it must suck. :(
Dave - that's not a good thing. ;)
Well, aparently somebody at Dell deleted the motherboard part of my order after I had been told it would be 3 to 5 days. So the motherboard order is just now going in. I am really getting pissed. 2 weeks now with no computer.

It's under waranty.
Well, get this guys. I got the motherboard in on Friday and replaced it on Saturday. My computer is still screwed. Now they are sending me a new power supply.
I've done motherboards and such before, but I have never replaced a power supply. Does anybody have any helpful advice?
lol.. if i was there with you.. i would most likely helped you i think :D... but now like this... uhm.. no :D
sorry man
To replace a power supply you need a star screwdriver.
unplug - unscrew - scew in new one - plug in new one
It's a sinch (sp?).
Well, I have replaced the power supply. I'm still off line, but there's progress. At least the computer tries to start now.
Hit it with a stick like all good engineers do. :)
But seriously, its quite easy, get a phillips head screwdriver (you should have a nice collection of these if you want to do any PC work). Just remove the existing power supply as one unit and screw the new one into its place. Walla. Plug in all the cables and what-not then prepare to return to the world of PC!
I've found repeatedly smacking the computer eith a bat can boost your feelings...oh wait you wanna fix it huhahah ...in that case just kick gently
Gently, but with great passion!
