    I think it's the mobo, but could it be the CPU? (No display/POST/BEEP at power up)

    Yeah, I've checked the caps, they're perfect. Anyway, the system works now, CPU dead. I got a cheap Applebred as a replacement and the old XP2000+ is now a keychain. Thanks for the help.

    'Twas the CPU. Got a cheap 1800MHz Applebred as a replacement. Thanks for the feedback.

    I think it's the mobo, but could it be the CPU? (No display/POST/BEEP at power up)

    Well, for one thing there was no power when I tried to turn it on not knowing the HSF fell off. But I wouldn't know if it did power up prior to that.

    I think it's the mobo, but could it be the CPU? (No display/POST/BEEP at power up)

    I've received a computer in a big box from my grandaunt. It's her old computer, now broken, and she told me my granduncle couldn't fix it anymore. So they bought a new computer and sent me this old one. When I first plugged it in, no power. I didn't even get any LEDs light up or fan noises...

    Extremely strange behavior, RAM picking its mobo/mobo picking its RAM?

    Yesterday, my dormmate knocked on my door asking me to fix his computer. We will call his computer System A for later reference. The thing apparently bluescreened, and would no longer boot. It does the "ok" beep, but nothing would be displayed on the monitor. So I tried using the CMOS reset...

    "Quality" vs "Quanity" Memory

    That doesn't explain why one stick of my 2x512MB Infinity (generic) PC3200 died last week. Bought it April, 2005 and sent it in for exchange. But for the most part, he's right. Stuff like that either fail right away or, for all intents and purposes, last forever. Unless you do something...

    What keeps you going to Intel?

    Ditto. Newegg doesn't ship to my country, and most of the stuff higher than low-mid-end from local retailers are overpriced. I had to approach a big supplier, and they couldn't get me the proper CPU (thanks in part to AMD's confusing and redundant PR rating system) and the right Socket 939 mobo...

    I burned a DVD that only works in my DVD burner, and not in the DVD reader

    Hell I wouldn't know. Maybe not unless the manufacturer deliberately broke compatibility with DVD+R, but don't take my word for it. Why not just try DVD-Rs? Is there any special reason you use +Rs?

    Anandtech Previews 65nm

    Lots of people would. I know it's not likely to happen, but if it did the only ones who would complain would be the AMD cheerleaders.

    I burned a DVD that only works in my DVD burner, and not in the DVD reader

    DVD+R/RW in general is less compatible than -R/RW. Are your older DVDs -R's? It could be just your drive simply not being able to read +Rs. Google gave me this http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=118430

    Old question about the Pentium 133

    Some people choose not to think, you see. The brain is designed to do completely different things. While it could do raw calculations, it isn't dedicated to do such. Think about it, as you're looking at this screen right now your brain is processing lots of information coming through the...

    Anandtech Previews 65nm

    Yeah, I know it's a typo. But logically speaking, Intel won't price a 2GHz 65nm chip at $215, or they wouldn't clock a $215 65nm chip at 2GHz. Heheheh.

    I burned a DVD that only works in my DVD burner, and not in the DVD reader

    Is it any different from any of the other DVDs you've written? I've personally had lots of DVDs doing all sorts of strange stuff. I have a LG GSA-4163B and two DVD players. Using the same brand and batch of media burned in the GSA-4163B to burn movies I've had DVDs that: -Read perfectly...

    Anandtech Previews 65nm

    Am I the only one drooling upon reading that Intel will be shipping 2GHz 65nm's? Think about it... $50 65nm CPU idling at freezing +decent mobo +DDR2 mmmmmmm....
