[psd99]

so any ideas as to where i can get a xp cpu

im thinking ebay

i didnt find one single online store that sells them!!

 

[V_R]

They are like rocking horse sh*t... I saw a 3200 go on ebay for 95 quid about a week ago...

But i think thats the only place you will get one.

Hold on a minute....I think i still got an old Socket A Sempron 2400 or 2800 somewhere..... I'll have a look when i get home.

 

[psd99]

thanks dude

but i dont know if those semphrons will fit my board?

flopps will know for sure

yer im got a track on one one ebay right now its a xp2200
its bloody expensive too
but i got no choice
its this or change mobo
and i dont wanta do that

please have a look cheers

 

[V_R]

It should fit, may not run at full speed, dunno really. i'll have a look later when i get home.

 

[psd99]

cheers mate
as long as the thing posts i am happy bunny

but the concern would be the cpu fan

 

[V_R]

but the concern would be the cpu fan

Why? I go a hsf too if ya need it....

 

[psd99]

lol cheers!

 

[psd99]

right update
if anyone reads this lol

my mate is a support engineer

he seems to think it could also be either the psu
even if it powers it up

transistor on the mobo

or

the actual case

i got a cpu coming in soon hopefully
exactly the same xp2200

and ill see if i can take a pic of my current one too

 

[psd99]

Solved!!!!

problem solved


see psd99 does not like LOUD COMPONENTS

so what he decided to do was to unplug the gfx's fan
its a ti4200 64mb ddr graphics card

the fan was so noisy so he decided to unplug it
everything was working fine untill one day BANG no post.......

took me ages to work out
i thght it was the cpu or the mobo

but it ended up being the gfx
the advice here is never to unplug a fan unless u are like me
crazy in the head.....




thanks for all your help
its finally nice to solve a problem!

 

[muckshifter]

Yep, a dead short will do that everytime ...


Live & learn.

 

[psd99]

thanks

now psd99 waits for all the other members to come here and throw some keyboard abuse!!
he does deserve it to a certain extent
just be a little gentle please

 

[Adywebb]

You t*sser


...that gentle enough?

 

[psd99]

lol yes thanks

 

[Adywebb]

Don't worry about it mate - we've all done some silly things which at the time seem logical, but later you think 'why on earth did I do that?'


....I think there's a thread around here somewhere about PC howlers, and I can assure you I'm on it!

 

[psd99]

lol ur right

now please help me find a graphics card... see the thread in hardware section
