Howdy folks,
(can you tell I'm less tense)
I'm back to square one, and thats a hell of an improvement.
First I still need to know the danger of not using the thermal (tape/grease)
on the die for the time being while I just try to get a POST
second, I'm back to getting the fans spinning and the VCC led lighting up
what did I do? Well thanks to a helpful post I installed my new cheap-o
psu, (did I mention it has a 4 inch fan, and iso 9001 components, and is not
tested by UL or anyone, is very quiet though)
The 5V Led was noticably brighter, and the board powered up
now, back to square one
still no agp video
does anyone know the voltage on a ATI RADEON 7000 dual head? 64mb?
my mobo only takes 1.5v and .8v
but.. the video wouldnt come on before the cpu test would it? So if nothing
is happening that could be a sign of a sick cpu? When it arrived I noticed
what could possibly be melted areas around the die. If it was really fried
how would I know? It was a Used unit. As I mentioned before I did cosmeticly
chip the edge of the surface of the Die, and do not know if I am in trouble
there.
Also at the time of writing, am testing, am aware it could still be a simple
problem right?
