It ends up we got a new PSU yesterday. The new mobo and processor did the same thing as the old board and processor … spin fans and light up LED’s.<\/p>\n
Getting the new PSU was reassuring. It’s one that is strong and a good brand. But it didn’t help the situation at first. It took maore than changing out the PSU. I had to put the memory sticks into their slots many times, getting the board to accept them, sort of. They were in fine the first time, but sometimes boards need to be forced several times to do it right. Same goes with the AGP slot. The video card, it needed that too.<\/p>\n
THEN the board beeped. Then it fired up the monitor. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So my system is now:
\nAbit NF8-V mobo
\nEnermax 600watt PSU (EG701)
\nAthlon 64 3000+ processor
\nCooler Master HS\/F
\nCorsair VS 512×2 DDR400 (PC3200)
\nATI Radeon 7500 (to be upgraded ASAP to NVidia based video card)<\/p>\n
I have an old 40 gig harddrive partitioned 3 ways, and a TDK-CD-R\/RW drive. I’ll add a DVD-R\/RW-Double-Layer drive soon as can be too. Also, new hard drive as well.<\/p>\n
Time it takes though, pricey it gets.<\/p>\n
The old PSU is boxed up, we are going to probably send it back to the manufacturer to see if they’ll fix it, if it’s broke, or replace it. If they can do that, it might make the other board work. We’ll need a video card for that board, which one resides on the current new mobo that can be the old mobo’s if we get a new video card for the new mobo. Same goes with the hard drive, and getting a CD-or DVD-ROM is cheap enough and will be then, whenever that is. Before sending the PSU back I’ll play with it and the old board a bit though, just to be sure of what it does.<\/p>\n
I’m glad to have a ‘puter to work with again. Faster processor and board bus speed, the memory running faster than it could with the Athlon XP 2100+, yes I’m happy! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
