there may be hope... I was able to turn it on using a jumper to short the power on pins so it appears at first as the power switch is at fault. However it is more complicated. I placed everything back in its place and it would no longer turn on. After a process of trial and error I am able to...

Thanks for the replies guys! Sounds like I'm up for a super happy fun time recovering my data :D Fortunately my photos are all backed up! And I thought RAID was a good way to keep my data safe... didn't think of that possibility. I'm still looking at resuscitating the mobo. I took it out of the...

Last night my computer froze-up and would not come back to life. I peeked around this aftenoon and it looks like it is dead for good. Anyhow the rig is kinda old so I figure a new setup is in order. The only issue is that I have a RAID 0+1 using the on-board NV MediaShield controler. What are...

Just received a refurb 9600SE for my 1337 HTPC h4x0r1n6 rig and got a coupon code giving you 5% off an order of $149 or more: '1439' Happy shopping to you!

I'm in! I'll PM you!

Do you have some refs? I'm interested in your 9800

Is it sold? I'm interested

Looks yummy but I'll stick with my Socket A platform! Besides I'm bidding on a 3200 Barton and a GeForce 6600GT AGP card so I'm definetly sticking to my budget PC :D Still need a new HSF because I don'ty think the one that came with my Sempron 2200 will do .

I remember tweaking it somehow but nothing [H]-core at all! I think the compound they put on the HSF is responsible. To think it came from AMD itself.... Now I'm probably gonna go with a Barton 3200 or so. Anyone have a good reasonnably priced HSF to recommend? Thanks!

When I removed the HSF at first (last night) there was a hard spot of compound I couldn't wipe off completely on the logo on the core. Can that be hard cooked compound from core burning? I knew I shouldn't trust this stock HSF in the first place... shame on me!

Here are the pics Core: HSF:

I came home last night to find my computer running numb! I turned on the monitor: nothing. I looked at the boot indicator lights on the back of the mobo: all red (It's a MSI KT6V w/4 boot indicator lights. red = BAD) The only thing I did on my computer previously was to add a new Samsung...

Just curious to know how it's turning out! I have an old IBM laptop too and was thinking of doing the same thing. Having any luck?

come one people this HSF will keep your CPU coool!!!

bummmp!
