once upon a time there in a lil town in florida called sebring, there lived a fellow AH'r that luved to fly, one day this fellow AH'r ( BuLLZ) went to turn on his computer and got a black screen, quickly following that it turned off, he was tried everything his lil heart could think of to get his computer up and runnin again, it has since been bout 2 months an poor BuLLZ has been unable to fly cuz he doesn't have a way of gettin a new computer.
i am callin on the AH community to see if any of yall have any spare computer parts lying around that you wouldn't mind donating to the " help BuLLZ foundation" anything would help, just so he can get a computer so that he can come back in the game. if you can email me at : blazergirl85@yahoo.com and let me know if you can help and with what, would b greatful.
thank you, <>

any help is great, he is goin thru bad withdrawls, last time i spoke to him he was a day or two from havin major shakes.....hehe
we have all been there at some point, he just wants back in the air again :)
-
Betty,
it might help others who might have some spare comp parts, to know what Bullz' computer specs are, and anyway of finding out if it is just his power pack?
then people of the AH community could email the listed address and tell ya what they might have to offer that could help...........
just a thought ~S~

Have him lay off the weed first ;)
Maybe be able to pass a drug test and get a job :aok
-
I'm with TC. Sounds like a bad power supply.
-
Because the redwings are in your avartar I wont donate. :t
-
Bullz should contact his old squaddies, I'm sure there are enough of us just in the playmates that could help him out. He really should lay off the weed, then he could afford the repair/replacement.
Betty used to be a Knight but now I say -

honestly, regardless of what some people might do, it is uncalled for to public dis some one , especially if they are not around and can not speak up for themselves, what if I came on here and flamed all you crack addicts? and no BrenJen, I am not saying you or anyone else here is one, just making a point, this is a public forum, keep peoles private lifestyle private is all I am saying, with that said, I am done with this thread....
Good Day all.........

Dang, I just gave away a complete computer (blank HD tho) that was my last rig. It wasnt a GREAT one, but it played AH2.
If you get a specific list of stuff he needs Betty, let me know. I have plenty of spare parts lying around.
-
Yeah, Betty, you can't just say "donate parts" -- unless you know what parts are broken, what he needs, and all that stuff.
First he needs to figure out what's wrong with the PC. Then he can tell you what he needs to repair.
Power supply is just one part. He could have fried the motherboard. Or the CPU. Or the RAM. Or all three!
Or his monitor could have died. Or his video card as well. How old is the computer. Does he have a voltmeter? Can he take the PSU out of the case and test the connections on the pins to see if it does anything at all? Do any fans run when he turns it on? Does any thing happen at all?
Far too much information is required.

Hey ladys and germs of the AH community , It's I , BuLLz in the Flesh .. Im glad to see many would like to help and I understand that more info is needed BUT .. The only thing I know is I cant do anything .. I turn it on to A black screen and when I try to reconfigure it gives me A bunch of errors . The computer is a HP751N with 456 MB of RAM .. My monitor was just A POS which is why it was turning on and off . I guess my tower is aswell .. And for those of u talkin about gettin a job I have one .. just cant afford a 900 $ computer ATM . I just spent 3500 on my truck and lets just say things are tight . Lol I didnt expect to see any replys from this but im glad I did . I think prettymuch I just need a new computer and I surely am not asking anyone for one . BUT if any of u guys out there got anything for sale Drop me an E-mail at JROC1T69@aol.com . Greatly appreciated ..BuLLz :aok

Good Day all.........
Well; because me & Bullz were squaddies & I consider him a friend; his pot smoking was a running joke. He made no bones about enjoying a bong hit or ten, so if it offended you, well partner, that's just too bad. It wasn't directed at or too you.
Edit: Why have your panties in such a wad about something I said that didn't concern you? You have some personal problem with me? I noticed you didn't mention the other post, so I can only assume you do.

ok going against my last post.............
BrenJen , u reading too much into my post, you missed the part where I said:
and no BrenJen, I am not saying you or anyone else here is one, just making a point, this is a public forum, keep peoples private lifestyle private is all I am saying,
I felt no need to quote both postings...........
Mace, is not my fault you like to watch all the game players who don't wear belts sitting at their monitors at game conventions :D
would say I am sorry I was unaware, but I have nothing to be sorry for, and I do not think explaining stuff like this is worthy on this particular forum, although I could amuse you all for days on end if I shared my Tequila trips/nights/throwdowns ( my squaddies know )................might even cause a few of you old geezers to have a heartattack laughing so hard......
was all a personal view, nothing against anyone.........geez
-
ok gents, this post wasnt' for starting drama..hehe
the real point of it was to help ma boy bullz get his puter up and runnin so he can get his butt back in the air. if any one has any suggestions for him, please do let me know or let him know.
thanx guys <>

If Bullz or someone else wants to ship me the computer, I'll fix it for him at no charge.

really moil...that would b awsome, i will let him know...ty <

I think its offensive to ask the community to effectively buy a computer for a guy... In his post he says (under the name Flying Fortress "I think I just need a new computer".
Ask your squad. At least they know you well enough to know if you're jerking them around.
You know, there are a lot of really great people in AH.. There really are. But this is just abrasive. I mean, If my monitor blew up tomorrow I"m not going to try to make it YOUR PROBLEM.
If' my video card went up in smoke thats not YOUR PROBLEM.
Cripes... Next thing you know someone is going to try to import some kid from Brazil because hes a great stick with a natural feel...All we need is $1200 for a plane ticket.
If you can't afford to maintain a computer then how do you have $15 a month to spend on your subscription? You can get a brand new computer from Dell for the same $15 a month. Stop pawning your woes on the community.
What a crock.

ummmmmmm Bullz hasn't asked for a thing

No, apparently there is an agent...
Its still tacky and he could ask her to drop it. He clearly is aware that she is begging on his behalf. And he's doing nothing to prevent it. Thats just as bad.

Kurt no disrespect,
But I have helped other AH'ers in the past and see nothing wrong with it.
and would do it again if I can. not giving the farm away but if I got a spare part laying around that might help I'd be glad to send it.
Betty was asking for spare parts not a new PC.
If that were the case I'd be asking for help to pay my mortgage,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hmmmm,,,,,,,,
hey anybody willing to help pay my mortgage, ot buy me a new boat.
bottle of whiskey? maybe some lint.

Betty,
I just gave away my entire previous computer to a coworker last month. But I do have a spare NIC left that he is welcome to. It's not much, but I don't need it and maybe this might encourage others to contribute.

Well, Doobs, nobody seems to be ready to tell anyone the parts yet do they? Hell, I sent a squad mate a $280 video card when we went from AH1 to AH2 just so he could play... Its not like I'm not willing to give to those who need..
The question is... If they can't even be bothered to define the need, why should anyone assume it is legit? If the squad won't pony up, why should the rest of us assume there isn't something odd going on? Its not like BullZ is unheard of. I would assume a network of friend exists? With a squad website perhaps?
There are limits. IF you're going to come beg for a potentially valuable freebee, you should at least be able to define the need.
He said in his post "I need a new computer'... Thats just a smidge toward the vague side, would you not agree?
-
I should expand that thought..
Lets say I need money... SO I post in here...
"I need money, please send some..."
Then I collect $14,000
Well, I didn't tell you I needed $7 for a screwdriver... (it was a beautiful screwdriver with just the right amount of orange juice to Vodka ratio)
Wouldn't you agree that is a little on the edge?
thats the problem with this thread...Sorry I pointed it out. geez

OMG!!!!!!!!! dude...chill out, this isn't anything like u would like to make it out to b to make u feel better bout bein rude, it was simple question of if anyone had anything they rn't using, in bullz reply he also said if someone had a computer or whatever they wanted to sell to email him, read a lil closer to the reply before u jump the gun, he also said in there that " he is not askin anyone for a new computer" . even suggestions on what could b wrong with his is helpful, anything right now will help. if this was u kurt, i would b doin the same thing for you. i'm not " begging " as u put it, i was simply askin a question, that is all. <>

What a crock.
Its called being a human being. I have given video cards to plays paid accounrs for 6 months for players. and by sounds of ot betty would pay for it herself if able. Just like when my house burnt down I had guys offer everything to rebuild house. without me asking for anything. I would tell them i'm fine maybe donate stuff to local shelters. Or like time Bammo 's son david disappear the ah'ers came thru offfered services and sent prayers. and When david was found when he came out hospital same day he was found he was carrying His AH teddy bear as he left to go home. That what this community should be about or its waste of space.

Oh, Bullz if you took offense at what I printed, smoke a bowl & calm down:lol

Indeed, I can name a dozen guys who have paid monthly subscriptions for other players who suffered the loss of a job and didn't have $15 to spare.
There are countless situations where Aces High players have stepped up to the plate to help another community member. Most of these things are not publicized on the BBS.
I have a 350 watt power supply and a Nvidia 64 Meg card laying around should Bullz need either. I also have a low-time X45 stick/throttle stored away.
My regards,
Widewing

rod, thank you, and you are right, i would buy bullz a computer if i could do it, he's a friend and a damn good stick, he's been playin this game for years. its just the way i am, my house also burned down in jan 2005, we had lost everything, i wasnt' playin the game at the time but many ppl had offered to help us with what ever we needed, its the thought that counts. i myself have ran into hard times before and ppl have offered to help me. it happens, its life and the ppl that play this game is what i luv bout the game. there are alot of great ppl on this game and would help any one if needed and if i was able.

How about we first define the problem.
BuLLZ, here are some questions:
Does windows boot up completely?
Do you see the windows logo when booting up?
Does your monitor power light stay steady green or is it flashing or even just off?
Does your computer beep when turning on? How many times?
What exactly is going on with your computer? Does it work sometimes? Tell us step by step please.
You can get free help from the community.

bullz I have a video card if you need it . I think it is a radeon 9600 pro. if you need it I will send it to you with no problems. You have always gave me a salute when i deserved it. so your ok in my book V1st
-
Hey again Everyone and thanks for all the great replys which i will address in a moment , But for now I would like to talk about this Kurt ''Fellow''.
You sure do have alot to say about a simple question kurt . If you can read I never asked anyone for a spare part or a computer .. Yes i did say ''I NEED A NEW COMPUTER'' but you forgot the words before and after that quote you took from me ..Here I'LL refresh your thick head
''I think prettymuch I just need a new computer and I surely am not asking anyone for one . BUT if any of u guys out there got anything for sale Drop me an E-mail ''
I think that alone is all that needs to be said .. Your flames are not only childish but incorrect ..And I quote ''There are limits. IF you're going to come beg for a potentially valuable freebee, you should at least be able to define the need.'' BEG? ... need i say more
Anyways Thanks to all for the offers but i think im going to take moil up on his offer .. And i couldent even do that for free That is more than kind. Thanks to all .If any of you ever need anything i might have ..Which I do ..plenty of old sticks of ram and alotta old joysticks and other things . Just let me know . I would gladly help .. Thanks again ALL BuLLz
-
No kermit when i turn it on i get a black screen with some text .. not to sure what it says .. but i reboot and use the HP built in repair thingie .. f10 i thnk and i get errors when trying to reconfig. i cant do system restore either ..

Seriously, glad you are taking Moil up on his offer. Come back soon.

Heya Bullz,
shoot me an Email ltarmoil@yahoo.com and we'll get things rollin';)

LOL, my boy Bullz spends more on weed every month than he would ever need to pay for new cpu parts. No sympathy here, one month off the gonja would easily cover what he needs for any new gear.
:cool:

I need money and time to improve this bulletin board, Kurt. Would you please kill yourself and name me as your beneficiary? Also, if stang could do the same, that would be great.
Thanks.

We look after each other here.
cheers,

-
Bullz anychance of you having a win98 or w2k cd laying around ???
Id format that puppy with the 98 floppy and install one of those instead of the repair cd you got with teh pc . you can get the drivers from the hp site or look at the mainboard and use its numbers ...
You could have a virous also thats fubaring that puppy . and may just get away with fdisk /format with a floppy 1st .

naah roscoroo i woulda tried that myself but unfortunatly i dont
-
pc boots but errors windows correct ???
thats ussually a sign of a power supply, hd or ram failing ... or in the rare occasion over heat .. thats why i pointed you in that direction .
you could DL a 98 start up floppy and try the fdisk/ format route and then use your restore cd's . but if one of the above is failing your gonna get errors/crashes during the install .
-
Sorry to hear your pc bit the dirt Bullz, god knows there isn't much to do in Sebring :)
If Moil can't get yours up and running without some parts let me know, I have a few old pc's just lying around that I can ship anywhere you need them.

AMEN to that DAPUP Only thing to do here is work your arse off, which is what i have been doing for the past few months ..
roscoroo i dont have ANY disk's for this PC at all , which is why ima send her off to moil .
-
Yeah, I'm in Sebring every year for Thanksgiving. My in-laws live there, you should give me a shout, I'll be there from the 22nd until the 28th.
-
hey bullsz sorry to hear bout your pc.
as others have stated it could be your power supply, HD, or ram.
I have a couple of pc's in the garage in various states of disrepair. im not sure whats still viable on either of them but i do know the power supplies are good. im at work now but im fairly sure they are 450w . i might have a few extra sticks of ram as well.
my emial addy is in my sig.
also do you have a paypal acct? might be eaiser to donate a few bucks to the cause. I know there are several of us that can build ya a new puter as well. I can , moil can and prolly 6 or 7 others.
shoot me a email and we can go from there.
Theres also a thing going on in downtown dallas the 1st monday of every month were they have a big sale on computer parts to complete systems. the next one will be labar day so that gives ya about a week. If you can get me the info on what ya need i can prolly get ya good deal.
-
Sorry about your rig there Bullz. Atleast you're in good company though. Lighting hit the transformer behind my house last night and now mine is fubar. No AH for me for a while Im guessing.:cry
-
If your getting text on the screen i would say its a hard drive issue (guess ) . Does it give you any series of beeps ? Ive got a couple of 7200rpm Ide drives layin around if ya need one , ive also got 256 of ddr 2100, and 2700 , 512 of pc 133 , and a generic 400w psu if needed. Ive also got a FX 5200 128 card , all pulled out of a scrap machines , but tested .
