Hi;
Today my sound just came through with something that sounded like random data
spikes or something. The PC had been running all night, but there were no
problems last night. Actually the noise was there before I tried to play
something.
So I shut down, trying to reboot. It did not shut down. Noise continued. I
turned it off and pulled the soundcard, no good, it would still not even
initialize the video (which is PCI). Puled the HD, no good but finally I booted
it without the vidcard. I got beeps, I didn't have beeps before. I was starting
to think it was one of the power supplies. I put the vidcard back and it looked
like it was going to work, so I tried the soundcard again. This time it's
booting but the noise is still there. Then I figure it's time to either leave
the soundcard out or change it. Go to the junkpile and find one I'm sure 98SE
has drivers for and stick it in.
Now it's giving me the bad battery error, even though I changed it . . . . . .
.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... . with a used one.
Hmmmm
Opinions ?
Thanks in advance, and the guy that wants to buy this mmmm, it's a real finicky
board.
At this point I'm just glad to be online, and I am looking for something in the
way of a P3, Athlon or even a real high P2. Then I can just drop my HD in, get
a few drivers and have a relatively painless upgrade. Got one for $50 or
something ?
Actually I kinda wish software didn't interact so much with hardware.
