Posting on teh ps3 is awesome...
FFFFFFFollow
So my computer died. It won't start up at all. The only thing that works are the lights/fans. And the fans only sort of work, They just start, then stop/slow down, then start, then stop/slow down, etc. That makes me think it might be the power supply, but that's odd, since i haven't had any problems with it, and it was working just fine before i left for school this morning. I really hope that's it, and i don't have to replace the motherboard. Not sure i could even afford to atm

It was working well enough for me to spend 7 hours in abyssea getting one extra int, so yeah.
borrowed an laptop at least for now, but it's retardedly slow. Just took me 10 minutes to install firefox, and it only finished because i closed explorer, which is a bit silly.

it just isn't your week there Rog is it. You had your waterheater break, now your computer, next thing you know you'll be waking up in a burnt down house.
Should probably have an exterminator come in and test for gremlins.
Was it a good computer? Like.. what is the lowest you can get by with for a power supply? I might have some old ones around here.

I've got a 420W max power supply. I think I could priority mail it pretty cheap, in one of those standard rate boxes.
Also, **** Minhocao. I died at 8% on my WAR. ; ;
Was popping temp items, and I went too fast. Used an Ether instead of my Fanatic's because it jumped up on me.
Should have just made macros. ; ;

420 watts should do i would think. When could you send it?
Today is a holiday, so tomorrow.
I've had it since 2002, and only recently stopped using that PC, and never had an issue, but apparently it's a ****** PSU, according to what I just Googled.
Turbolink CWT-420ATX is the make/model if you want to look it up.

Of course, if you had a Voltmeter, you could test the PSU you have.

Assuming of course that the psu is actually the problem, which my dad's gonna check in a bit. It probably is though, but if not, i guess it'd have to be my motherboard, which would be a real ******* pain. Though it'd actually be cheaper i think.

I appreciate free beer.
I had been saving to build a new PC, but then I lost my job and my savings have been dwindling. :(
I really need to get an job
I don't even know where to start for building a PC anymore. Well, I do, but it has been forever since I even bothered to keep up on new products and technology. I guess once I was unable to afford to even think about it, I just stopped paying attention. I guess it just seems like there's a laborious amount of researching to do, and I have to decide whether I even want to bother.
Plus, i kind of want a laptop first, anyway.
Though I do love to put PCs together.
Frowny face.

Meh, just tested it, the psu works fine. Guess it's gotta be the motherboard.
Was it dusty in the case? Did you try dismantling the system, cleaning the contacts, and reseating everything?
Oh, can get a similiar mobo, inlcuding shipping, tax ******** newegg needs to gtfo of NJ), and the thermal paste for only $60. Guess that's not too bad.
