Right I think I'm going to have to concede one to the Computer Gods...


After trying to fix my computer for the past 12 months and still not be able to install anything useful on it even with most of the stuff in it being brand new... today it decided to refuse to boot... power is on as are the fans but just black screen... even Mike has no idea why its doing what its doing as it makes absolutely no sense and hes a field engineer... so I think I'm going to give up until I find my new job and can afford £650 for a new one that I dont have to think about. Hopefully I'll still be able to come on to forums (like now.. I'm in work lol) and I suppose you wont notice much as I havent been able to get on vent or any games and it wont let me install xfire or uninstall anything that I do manage to get on it other than a browser and even then I have murder trying to update or get plug ins etc even after a rebuild but for people who see me occassionally on facebook at least you know I'm still alive.

Miss you all LOADS!!! And I miss my games and my friends... will still be at Maftonbury WOOHOO and hopefully going to have a moving in party soon. So for those who I get to catch up with I cant wait... for those I dont... I hope to be back soon.

Take care.... FGFTW!!!!!

[(FG) Preci]

[(FG) Lusty]

Thanks guys, truth is I've just had enough of fixing it and then it breaking in the next few weeks. I put a new mobo in and a new cd rom, new HDD and graphics card, I think it might be the memory so next month I'll try getting a few new sticks but failing that I'm just not going to throw any more money at something that cant be arsed working so I think I deserve a new one lol. Cyb, thanks so much for the offer but I cant afford to post it to you haha and Mike is very good with computers, so he would be greatly offended hehe. xxx

[(FG) Mafialad]

ask mike what memory you need as i have some lying around here

[(FG) Lusty]

I think its DDR2 or something like that if I remember correctly. Going to take the memory out tomorrow and see if it at least beeps and shows the mobo screen so I'll know if its the board or the memory. I have a half gig stick knocking about somewhere if I remember at least i can play some music and watch a film lol.

[(FG) Mafialad]

also need to know the speed of the memory


i.e.  DDR2 PC2-6400

[(FG) Lusty]

thanks maf, shall get Mike to have a look later for me. Good news however is that when I took the memory out and tried to boot it at least gave me a screen even if it did beep like an over irate bus driver lol. When I put the spare stick in it booted to Windows but then blue screened and memory dump error so yep... new memory it is lol xxx

saved you £200

there cheaper ones on his website too

http://tonyscomputer...el-Machine.html

i got mine from him, 4g less ram and a 96gt not a 98 but runs great, plays everything. and £60 cheaper. no monitor or speakers but u got them so u don't need. last you a good few years before you need to upgrade

Obviously if u can get yours working again then fantstic, but if it comes to it have a look round.u dont need to spend any more than about £500 for a good tower that will last a while

[(FG) Lusty]

Finally found what i needed lol. here you go Maf, it says DDR400 CL=3-8-44
Hope that makes more sense to you than me lol xxx

[(FG) Preci]
