bibby>Chode Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 zomfg guys, for real. I have been using my 15" laptop for about 2 weeks now b/c my computer decided to not act right. I cant determine what it is between the ram, mobo, hdd, and cdrom. I am thinking it is the mainboard, so i am fixing to rebuild it. Today however, i got tired of jsut looking at it, so i tinkered with it a tad, and got it running, well, maybe i should say limping. Before it went down, i was looking into upgrading my monitor, but after looking at my laptop for 2 weeks, this 19" wide is making me oh so happy. My picture is perfect again. for real guys, this is so awesome. Anyhow, i am still fixing to do a little rebuild on it, and these are the parts i am looking at... AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 2.8Ghz 250GB Seagate Sata 3GB/s 16mb cache 7200rpm hdd ASUS M2N AM2 NVIDIA nForce 430 MCP ATX AMD Motherboard Adding all that in with the following i already have... 2GB PC4200 DDR2 Geforce 6800 GT 256MB WriteMaster CD/DVD-RW 550w Ultra X-Connect PSU Should be a decent little rig. That board supports up to 8gb of ram with and a dual core proc, so i shouldnt have to upgrade it for a while. The proc should be uber badass. I have been playing with some dual core 2.0 laptops at work with only 1gb of ram, and shitt hdd's/vid cards, and they are badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibby>Chode Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I mean, i know how to work on computers, so idk wtf is wrong with it. I even had one of my real good friends who is a network admin help me, and we could not figure it out. We have gotten it down to HDD, for sure, and we are thinking the motherboard too.

bibby>Chode Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 It was actually giving me a hard disk error. you know, "hard disk failure, insert system disk" I know my hdd has problems, and i dont trust it with very ipmortant data for now, so i assumed that was the problem. I went to office depot, and snagged a HDD b/c i didnt want to wait, put it in, intalled an OS, and it ran for about an hour, then the same problem. OK, then i'm thinking it's my sata port/cable. I tried multiple configurations there, nothing. This is just recent. Since i built this computer, it has its days where it wont show a video signal. It will post fine, but no video. So i'm thinking its gotta be this board being faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the main problem is this.. when you wanted to update your video card, did you check the back of your power supply to make sure that it sould power it? most nvidia cards require an upgraded power supply to get the juice to it.. if not, you could ahve seriously Fucked up your motherboard. a friend of mine friend his emachine that way.. he got into world of warcraft started upgrading shit.. and then fried his pc..

bibby>Chode Posted December 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 My 550 should be plenty. Hwever, i do believe that is what happened to my hdd. I ahd alot of stuff split off of the connector theat wnet into the hdd, running like 5fans, and 4 cold cathodes. Most likely i am going to be upgrading the psu too. Just gonna have to see how money falls. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gonna have to see how money falls. :/ the hdd is the easiest thing to fry... it wont look burned or smell funny.. it will just have read errors and errors.. you can try to go to frys and get a external kit, to make that a external hd and then slave it, and try to pull your files off it.. that kit isnt very expensive at all..

XtremeSPL-SCAMMER Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 just got to be careful with that shit bro upgrade one thing at a time.. so when your pc dont boot after one and it did after everything else, you know instantly what to pull out. and trouble shoot from there..

EricM9104 Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 AMD's good for the price. Although for about $30 you can grab up an Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 (1.86GHz 4MB L2 Cache) and OC the piss out of it. That's just me. I'm debating of either getting that same AMD processor or an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750.
