Good news and bad news (sorda)

Ok so we put the memory and cpu in about an hour ago and fired my computer up and it worked :D we went thru the BIOS and configured it and all but then we realized that we couldnt install XP without the cable to run the cdrom drive sooooo .. it WORK which is GOOD BUUUUTTT we arent gunna start putting XP on it tommorow heehee

on a more sad note, my current computer (laptop) is being stolen by my step dad to be used at work :roll: but thats ok.. i guess

he is stealing it in about a month after we get the desktop running and i have enough time to transfer files and all

Thats cool i have also been doing alot of stuff with my comp lately. New graficard and such. But about a week ago it crashed and is probly totaled. (witch is about $900 down the drain) :( :cry:

[ThePhantom]

wow that sucks

[Underage_Thinker]

Ya i think it was the grafics card. DAMn u Nivida.(ps kiros i know u love nvidia so this is ur falt)lol

[ThePhantom]

no dont blame it on nvidia, it was your fault! Never blame Nvidia.. EVER!! >:)

[Underage_Thinker]

Fine i blame it on hp who put a shitty motheboard in my comp.

[Kiros]

Lol. Yeah, don't blame nVidia. Blame the guy that threw a dounut inside your computer :D

So AW, why can't you install XP? Your drive should have a cable running to your motherboard...

[Underage_Thinker]

No i think the motherboard is fried and i dont have a disck with windows on it. Plus i think that my hd is fried

also it want a doughnut,...
It was a hotdog. lol

[ThePhantom]

[Skhorpion]

Sorry that was mean, i just had to do that for you making fun of my new word ''cracy'' :P ....


Omg so we turned on the auto alarm for if the pc overheats or if fan doesnt work and right when we did that the alarm started going of.. so annoying. Took us about 4 minutes to figure it was because of the temperature freaking out ... we are pretty sure it wasnt even 180 degrees F* (the settings we put it as) ... and the fan was working, so we just turned the alarm settings off. Oh and what should put the overclocking settings on for the 512 mb ddr ram? It was set to 200 and could be brought up to 400.

[Kiros]

266MHz sounds like a default for FSB compatibility - though if the RAM and motherboard supports 400MHz, then go for it.

By the way, it's actually EIDE, but the first E is understood, so techs just call it IDE.

[Skhorpion]

you, AW, should not overclock at all

lack of knowledge = death of parts

[Kiros]

Actually, it's simple name is the "ribbon cable".
Smart guy! :)

[Skhorpion]

[Kiros]

Then it's a round ribbon cable ^_^
