Not if i need to buy 3 A64's and 5 KT800 mobos to get one working system. : )

then why would you even move away from your unreliable XP rigs?

9th March 2004, 01:16

hmm, please dont judge nf2 on chaintechs, first, they have sudden nforce death sydrome... manly because k7 chaintechs are usually crap

my soltek has been pretty beast and reliable, even when i have mistreated it alot, and usually when it screws up, i just unplug the power, clear cmos, smoke a cigarette, come back, set jumper back to default, and boot

Sudden nforce death syndrome?i don't like the sound of that. : )

RichBa5tard · 16th March 2004, 20:54

Two Athlon XP's arrived today, one appaloosa and one Thorton.

Now I've got:
2 motherboards
3 Athlon XP's
2 videocards
2 PSU's
3 ramsticks

They all worked 2 weeks ago. Now, no possible combination works! WTF?

The gods must be crazy.

does the power outlet you use deliver power?

RichBa5tard · 16th March 2004, 21:08

Fans spin, moherboard powers up, just no post.

I'll try a different outlet.

RichBa5tard · 16th March 2004, 21:22

Nope, makes no difference.

Either i've got unlucky with my motherboards (one dead from bioschange, another DOA?) or both my videocards are dead (r9700 from the grafic card cooler roundup, gf2 from age?).

What do you guys think?

I think mainboard. I haven'd killed a graka so far by normal use. Mainboards 2 pieces.
