<0> so it couldn't be a module flaking out the other ones
<1> I only have these two
<1> the old one and the new one I bought
<1> -_-
<2> ****
<1> what's worse, is even after testing here in another box, I STILL can't figure out whether it's the mem, or the mobo, or what!? :(
<0> did you follow esd precauctious
<2> i think i might have fried my psu
<0> precauctions
<1> precautions?
<2> but i'm not sure... any way to tell?
<0> damn my brain is crashing
<0> thx
<1> what precautions?
<0> yeah be careful not to expose stuff to static
<0> static is 1000's of volts
<1> yeah I didn't
<0> tends to canuck chips
<0> and what ****s is
<1> heh
<1> typical :P
<0> the damage isn't always instant
<0> or no one would care
<1> heh
<0> cause you wold know right off
<0> it can cause random **** like you are having
<1> flyback, I'm definitely thinking it's not that right now, but good to know
<0> days or months later or right off
<1> esp when dealing with lollercanuck tech :P
<1> which already possesses a tendancy to explode :D
<0> make sure your cpu is not overheating too
<2> a PSU for a p4
<1> dude it's "cool"
<0> that will cause ram errors
<1> :[
<1> and all the voltages look good
<1> so I'm still baffled :(
<0> well feel free to try my channel also for idea
<0> s
<0> check those capacitors too
<1> flyback, any idea how I could verify with SOME sort of certainty, that this mem (one or both), is okay? :|
<0> make sure none are showing signs
<1> yeah I'll check them when I get back in an hour
<0> yeah
<0> put it in another board
<1> your channel?
<0> cycle it overnight in memtest86
<1> sweet
<0> #computers
<1> heh
<1> nice
<0> no offense to this channel
<1> hahah
<0> just we have more hardware people to beat up on this
<1> cool :)
<0> trying to save you guys time if anything
<1> because this is really puzzling
<0> not trying to say you ****
<1> should I move the convo there?
<0> you can if you want
<0> unless you getting help here
<0> or stay in both
<0> :)
<0> CANUCK
<1> hahahah
<0> hey my friend :)
<1> :D
<3> hehe
<1> what up canadia?
<0> again
<0> I want to stress
<0> i wasn't trying to take anything away or say anything about this channel
<0> when I told dave to join mine :)
<2> odds are, if i smelled something sort of like an extremely small puff of burnt smoke coming from my PSU right after power seemed to surge, it's ****ed eh?
<2> i was tinkering around with my new 250 SATA
<0> uhh yeah
<2> when i decided to finally install this old floppy drive i pulled from a pre-1994 comp
<0> what brand psu
<2> OCZ
<2> modstream 450w
<0> OMG YOU STUPID CANUCK
<0> you ruined a good psu with a old floppy drive
<2> do you think that could have done it?
<0> YOU ARE GOING TO BURN IN HELL AND YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE ENSLAVED TO SATAN
<3> lol
<2> shut up flyback
<0> :p
<0> na bro I am thinking
<2> ...youre kidding, right?
<0> is the system still working ?
<2> about the old floppy killing my PSU?
<2> nope i cant get the PSU to start up
<0> oh
<2> disconnected everytihng but the major 2 cables to the mobo
<0> unplug the system from the wall
<0> wait 5 mins
<0> plug back in
<2> done and done...
<0> oh yeah make sure the floppy is disconnect from the system
<0> both power and data cable
<0> you might be lucky if you didn't unplug it yet
<0> the psu might have gone into latch up protection
<0> and saved itself
<2> yeah ive totally taken it out... but have you ever heard of a really old floppy ****ing over a psu before?
<2> like his thing doesnt even have a faceplate
<0> it could if you miss a pin or it's badly shorted internally or non standard
<0> ie lIKE COMPaq
<2> =\
<2> im taking a look at it now
<2> ok its compaq branded but its actually a sony
<0> a better psu like a ocz should have shutdown before it blew
<0> the floppy is probably what smoked
<2> made in february of 1992
<0> unless the floppy surged the board
<0> and killed that
<0> and not the psu
<2> well thats what my biggest scare is
<2> that ive fried my ****ing board, but... i just dont really think that happened
<2> it feels more like its a PSU problem
<2> this latch protection you speak of... could that be what turns the thing off for like a minute if i cycle the power too fast?
<0> well the mb tells the psu to power up
<0> yeah
<0> do you have a junk motherboard you could attach the psu to
<0> to see if it will power up
<2> ****, i didnt really want to have to take that thing out tonight
<0> well try it now
<2> but ive already disconnected all the cables so i might as well
<0> if it's been unplugged for a few mins
<0> from the ac
<2> yeah it has been
<0> see if it turns over
<2> okay
<0> also make sure your power switch is still attached to the motherboard ;P
<2> heh
<2> actually thats possible, with me pulling in and out the floppy
<1> heh
<2> thank god for the laptop...
<0> if that doesn't work
<0> before you give up
<0> unplug from the wall again
<0> must be disconnected from the wal
<2> theres 2cables that connect to the mobo, just for reference sake what are they called?
<0> and reset the mb cmos
<0> probably atx and atx 12 volt
<2> which is the 4pin?
