    small bomb blew up in NY

    in General Politics

    Perhaps it's connected to the prime minister election.

    anyone else catch the bbc's forum with blair? they didn't really hold back, but it seemed more like a hazing more than a quest for any truth. in an ideal world, there'd be something between that "debate" and the us version of it. oh well, /2cents.

    Extremely late night admins

    in Counter Strike

    I am up late.  Usually to 5:00am.  This week I have had meetings everyday so I have had to get to bed a little early.  Starting tonight I will be back to playing CS all night...lol.

     

    I will PM you my aim.  enough crazy people have it already. lol

    i need to get in your line of work, shaz. this 9-5 grind doesn't work with my cs agenda.

    post codes? you referring to beeps, pwr light indicators, or on-screen displays? if it's on-screen display, that's the time to hit delete key.

     

    brillow is right, hope the cpu doesn't get toasted by the board. i had faulty transistors on an old abit that blew cost me two amd's (first time shame on you, second time shame on me, eh?) mine was an easy catch, once i thought about it. a quick visual inspection of the motherboard (completely gutted out of the case) revealed three areas of black "goo" that turned out to be melted silicon. yikes!

     

    you may want to add a new mobo to your wishlist.

    strangefamous has turned a few people onto ecs (budget) boards. they've all had good luck. if you like the nvidia chipset you're using now, here's one for $43bucks. otherwise, here's the list of ecs socket-a compatible motherboards.

    the power supply that i'm using is a 500w... i had a temp gage, and a switch installed close to each other.. and when i would hit the switch to turn the neon lights on my temp guage would go out, and my screen would get all messed up... anyway...

    i don't know _anything_ about case mods, lights, etc. i'm an oldskooler holding true to my oversized file server tower. if i were troubleshooting the machine, i'd disconnect any non essential devices to isolate the problem. you can then piece the puzzle back together ONE AT A TIME to pinpoint it.

     

    like i said before, i'd recommend setting bios settings back to factory default. i'm not sure how you're clearing cmos (removing battery, jumpering, etc.), but to reset the bios, hit "del" at boot time, then from the main screen choose "load fail-safe defaults." adjust the settings you undrestand (only), and leave things like multipliers, frequency, and clock rate alone.

     

    if the black is on the bottom of your processor (at the socket, not where the heatsink contacts), that's a bad, bad sign.

    well just wanted to let everyone know that I'm not going to be playing for the next few days... ran into some problems with my computer... i think i might have narrowed it down to the processor eating it...

     

    if anyone know anything about computers you could maybe help... my mobo gives post codes for startup, and error checking and whatnot... anyway.. i get a post code that means: check core CPU voltage. and the system will shut down. anyway so I'm pretty sure it's the processor... anyway i will be back online maybe Thursday night.. anyway... you guys have fun!!

    that sounds like a perfect reason to "load bios defaults."

     

    sounds like there was some overclocking gone bad.

     

    if you post your EXACT MOBO MODEL i'll be glad to look up the manual and give you more specific instructions. if you do not know the model, open the case (powered off, of course) and look for a silkscreen MFG-MDL# (like xxx-xxxx) between the pci slots.

    Well, Winnipeg, MB is pretty much smack in the middle of North America, but they still say that it's "the gateway to the west". Even though it would sound like that could be called "midwest", it's not all that close to the midwest. And my internet connection goes out east to Toronto, and then into the south, which would be close to the northeast, and....

     

    I think I'll be attending Fatty's 5th grade class sometime soon :laugh:

    things ran great sunday night for the debut of gc san jose. thanks again to everyone who put in the work to get this off the ground.

     

    pings were great for a lot of pubbers coming from the west coast. even better, very few jerks decided to stop by, and good gameplay was had. players are going to get directed to the website and forums soon, so say hi to new faces and new faces say hi to the rest of us...

     

    now to find a job that doesn't start in the a.m.
