Morning Story for Techy Heads
    #11666880 -

Put together my fancy new Phenom II 965 BE on a Gigabyte board with fresh DDR3 ram and a 9800GTX+. :grin:

Starts out with faulty ram and it kills my PSU. Crappy. :uhoh:

Change ram and PSU in 3 week window of waiting anxiously. :bored:

Get computer back...glee with joy. :awesome:

Play for 2 weeks without interuption then drastic rebooting problems. :rockon:

One morning...no more boot. Just reboots itself before getting to the Post screen. :shiftyeyes:

*sigh* Get an RMA for my board now after doing thorough hardware testing. :cuss:

Decide...I'll drop in my trusty Athlon X2 on my Asus board, the battleship that's lead me through the heavy mist for the last few years. :thumbup:

Boot it up with fresh new PSU. All fans boot up, no beep...cpu fan stops running but everything else keeps spinning. :strokebeard:

Distinct burnt electronics smell.  :bomb:

Omfg...:crankey:  :cussing:  :grrr:

Now all I have is my DooM box, a Pentium 3 500mhz that's good enough for DooM & Diablo 2 and internet.  :dead:

Just not right...I'm beginning to think that the "artists anti-technology touch" is a very real thing. All I wanted was my Tablet & Gaming back...Instead I'm $500+ in the hole with dead reserve equipment and a DooM box with assignments I can't finish.

Wow! That sucks! I had my Phenom II box explode recently, but luckily the only damage was to the power supply.

you sure it was busted ram initially?

seems like all those issues would be a result of a busted mobo.

why are you $500 in the hole? should have been able to return it all for being faulty.

It ram since...I did some hardware scanning first. It started with ram. Then the PSU toasted from something or other.

$500 in the hole in...that I've spent that much and at the end of the day I have 2 dead computers. I mean, yeah...I 'll get the parts back, but the old comp is out for good. So will be the video card since its past warranty. That and I have assignments due that I can't do until I have this equipment back.

Recent update, CPU on the Athlon X2 is dead and possibly the 9800GTX+. :nonono:
