Pooter died
There I was driving along in that beautiful M4 admiring the new trees, and BAM, bomb hit, tank dead and I see the tower for about a half a second, then POOF......
Blank screen.............hmmmmmmmmm mmm daggummit....what the hek.....more hmmmmmm.
Well, No matter what I do I can't get a signal to the monitor, that should be simple enough to fix. Ya right. Pooter won't boot up at all. It will turn on but won't load.
Hard drive? nope, hooked it up to other puter, worked fine.
Vid card? nope, same thing, worked on other puter.
Power supply? nope, that s fine.
Mother board? maybe.....went as far as swapping it out with another of the same board. same result, pooooter won't boot.
Hmmm, let's try another hard drive, dang, time to go to work
Well, now I have something to do when I get up Thursday afternoon.
I'll be up tomorrow on another puter, just need to dl AH, sounds, install stick, etc......
Nothing like computers to drive ya nuts lol. So much entertainment and frustration in one box is amazing
Any suggestions or ideas on what I might look for or have overlooked? Not that I'm against putting together another box I need the present one to work, plus it's a good learning experience.
Thanks guys
Rob
