Silver Bullet II

Sad thing is Ripper, if I read this I'd probably understand it all.

New ram came in today and... failure.

New computer ordered will arrive tomorrow (yes new computer) will arrive tomorrow now restarting from square one with all new parts on an independent test system to determine error.

I have purchased a i7 920 now and a cheep i7 motherboard to determine once and for all what the fuck is wrong.

Currently, even with the new ram the system will produce no error codes even if the gpu is removed! Therefore the problem is ether the cpu, the new motherboard the psu or all of them or anything. Thus a totally separate motherboard and cpu will be tested and then have the ram inserted if it then gives gpu error code the gpu will be inserted at which time it will be shown that the new cpu and new motherboard both work. Next the new cpu will be placed in the current motherboard to see if the motherboard works. In addation the current cpu will be put in the new and proven to work motherboard to ensure that it does or does not work.

Then all broken parts will be identified and will then be replaced. If the cpu is dead we are looking at thousands. If I got a second DOA motherboard then I am switching to the new p67ws supercomptuer board that atleast has a full onboard diognostics option.

The bad news is this is literally costing me THOUSANDS of dollors. The good news is that WORST CASE the new SBII will be even FASTER than the old one. Addationally, my sister gets a low level i7 computer that can run all future versions of WOW and the SIMS for the next 30 years

On the bright side. If you find the cpu is bad then you can get the new i7-975

That is why I said worst case it will be faster.

Zero when u want demos... I have like.. shitload of em...

[I LIKE TURTLES]

Zero,

I'm getting happy in the pants reading about your PC. When it is up and running, I'm gonna beat you up and steal it

[ZERO]

By the time it is up and running I should have enough parts for some decoys...

[Mallissin]

Just out of curiosity, what's the old motherboard and current PSU's model information?

[ZERO]

p6t deluxe v1 and PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 1200

Full cpuz specs shown in my sig just click it for full data.

Ok today a new motherboard and cpu came in. I tested those with my ram and it gave error beeps looking for the gpu. I then placed this same ram in the other computer and could not get any error beeps. Next I swapped the cpus, I took the new cpu and put it in the old motherboard and the old cpu in the new motherboard that I know works. Next I turned the new motherboard on and it produced the same error code asking for a gpu. I then started the old motherboard with the new cpu and it still did not work. Therefore it is currently believed that the new motherboard that I ordered to replace my broken one is also broken. Next I will need to test it outside of the case and then again with the stock heatsinks reinstalled.

Regardless it is very likely that I now have two of the same motherboard go out on me. This motherboard has been known for having problems and it is likely that it even arrived dead. Unfortunately, I think that you only get 7 days for return on the broad or are forced to get fucked in rma wonder land. I have heard of newegg sending rmad boards to replace rmaed boards. I may just refuse to pay the credit card for it and have them deal with it. If the motherboard really is bad than I have no choice but to switch to a different version. I currently use the p6t deluxe however the other versions are not reported to have the same failure rate. Also the new p6t7 ws super computer has come out and that is probably what i will get. It has all the features of my current board but it also supports 7 yes 7 grafix cards all at 16x at the same time! Also it has onboard diagnostics which will make future problems quick and easy to fix and is even compatable with xeon cpus as well as my extreme edition.
