<2> if my computer turns on, but doesnt display any video, wat could b wrong besides the video card?
<3> bad ram
<3> does it beep at all?
<4> monitor
<1> could be dead cpu
<1> also
<2> hm, is there any way to check it? cause i tried 2 different stick of ram, i guess they could botch b bad tho
<3> yup
<3> could be a number of things
<2> monitor is fine
<1> spoccer
<2> hm
<1> does it beep
<2> no
<1> what cpu
<2> no beeping
<3> its an intel?
<3> :P
<2> it does turn itself off after a lil
<1> what cpu
<3> i'd pull the battery or short the jumper and reset the bios settings
<1> WHAT CANUCKING CPU
<2> i dont even remember =/ i took the big *** dell fan off and all i can see on the cpu is white chalky kinda stuff?
<1> uhh that's thermal paste
<3> lol
<2> k
<3> its jizz
<1> oh then it's intel
<2> figutred it was prolly suposed to b there
<2> lol
<1> so you either cracked the core
<3> guy at the dell factory got bored
<2> but i didnt kno
<1> when you put the heatsink back on
<1> well is the core exposed on the cpu
<1> or is there flat metal plate
<3> aka heat spreader
<2> hmmmm
<2> its flat on top of the cpu
<3> intel more then likely
<3> how old is it?
<2> eh
<3> or what model dell is it?
<2> i dunno, its a 1.8ghz
<2> um
<2> o yea
<2> intel i think
<2> p4
<3> yah
<0> heh
<1> yeah would have to be p4 or celeron-4
<1> youcouldn'
<1> is the heatsink on ?
<0> dimension 4300 maybe
<2> i just put thew heatsink back on
<1> you mean now
<1> you idiot
<3> it was on b4 u started it up right?
<3> or did u have it off while u turned it on at any point?
<2> its off
<1> YOU STUPID CANUCK
<2> im on my new computer now
<2> ?
<2> watd i do wrong heh
<1> YOU CAN'T RUN A CPU WITHOUT THE HEATSINK/FAN
<1> THEY BURN UP
<2> no it wasnt turned on ever
<5> rabies
<6> mine works fine w/o a fan
<2> so is there any way to figure out if the ram is the problem without buying new ram? =/
<6> heh
<1> well
<6> you got a spare board?
<1> did it work before ?
<1> what did you change before it stopped working
<2> it started to turn off by itself alot i think.... and then eventually it got to the point where i couldnt reformat without it freezing or turning off
<2> ive tried lots of different hdd
<2> and some different ram
<3> yah hard drive aint the problem if it won't even post to begin with
<3> either motherboard,ram,vid card or cpu
<2> i tried different video cards too
<3> take out all cards that aren't needed
<3> basically everything but the vid card
<2> it will randomly give me video sometime.... and then itll say media failure
<1> soccerluk! oh!
<1> I know what's wrong
<1> look at the capacitors
<1> are the tops puffed up
<3> yah probably leaking
<1> he gets a new board free if they are
<2> r they the big cylinder things?
<1> yes
<1> dell has a recall
<1> exact symptoms
<2> hm
<7> flyback, what about the smaller capacitors, the rectanguler ones you see on motherboards? Do they have the same problems?
<3> i'd still pull yer battery or short the jumper to reset the bios unless u see that the caps are leaking then u know thats the problem
<1> no those usually aren't electrolytic
<1> over I don't think they leak in this case
<1> different problem
<1> they just puff up
<1> they are nichicon in fact the best cap there is
<1> but their machines canucked up and overfilled them
<3> well caps that are expanded at the top are usually known as leaking caps
<2> well i don know what they should usually look like, so its ar dfor me to tell...
<8> i think cap puffing is just a prelude to leaking
<2> they dont look puffy or leaking tho
<1> soccer hang on
<3> weather they're actually spewing **** or not
<1> lemme find the link
<1> what model dell
<8> puffing
<8> puffing & leaking are related
<3> yup
<1> yes but they don't always do at the same ratio
<3> who cares lol still causes the same ****
<3> usually freezing or no posting,etc
<1> nm
<8> i've had atleast 2 mobos recently with puffing leaking caps
<2> is there a sticker on the mobo that will give me the name of the mobo?
<1> dude on the outside of the case
<1> wtf does it say
<3> when i used to work at the pc store used to come accrossed various boards with ****ty caps
<2> hehe, sry, i think it may not b a dell =/
<3> lol
<2> but i forget what it is now
<2> lol
<2> there no sticker
<8> usually pcchips mobos in the last couple years had leakage
<3> yup
<3> abits had a bunch a while back too
<2> o
<3> er abit
<2> vpr matrix
<1> LISTEN TO WHAT I AM ****ING SAYING
<7> www.badcaps.com
<1> it's not the same issue as abit caps and pc chips
<7> VP6
<2> vpr matrix model 1820
<3> flyback: chill the **** out we're making conversation
<1> soccer I thought you said it was a dell
<3> and yah abit's did have leaking/puffing caps
<2> i kno, i was thinking it was, but that was my even older comp
