XG Fox Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 It wasn't overheated, my case temperature very rarely hits 100 degrees F. When it died it was at 96 degrees. I've had it hit 108 degrees before when our air conditioner was down for a day or so, but that didn't hurt anything in there. It hasn't had ANY problems since I got it in May, so... I dunno. I'll just see about exchanging it tonight and -hopefully- I'll be back on in a few days. I just REEEEEEALLY don't want to reformat... yet. If I can get a backup of my hard drive I'll just reformat it then during installing of the new motherboard. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 If the mobo is identical, there should be no need to format, though you will likely have to re-activate Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XG Fox Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Well, I found out yesterday through the tech guys at the place where I bought it that my motherboard's fine. The processor got shorted out and is now basically junk. So all I need to realy do is hunt down another Socket 754 AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor. Shouldn't be too bad, but I don't have the money for one right now, so there's no telling when I'll be back online... T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig11 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Damn that sucks. Do you got your old processor left? it would be good to have in emergenzies like theese... or any other old-er parts? it should be satifieing for some time.. so you can work things out.

XG Fox Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 My old processor was an old Socket A... this is a MUCH newer Socket 754 one that just got destroyed. I've looked around a bit already for processors and I can get one for relatively cheap if AMD doesn't send me one (it's still under warranty) so it shouldn't be too bad.

XG Fox Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well, AMD gave me an RMA for my processor, sent it off to them yesterday. It should get there Tuesday... then they still have to inspect it and process the RMA AND THEN ship me a new one... so that means it'll be at LEAST next Friday by the time I get my new one, if not after that weekend. But other than that, AMD's tech support kicks all ass. I was on the phone for 10 minutes TOTAL including wait time of like 3 minutes... and by 10 minutes I already had an RMA number. Wow. So... yeah... I'll be back online when I can... I really hate having to put up with computer drivers in Forza Motorsport that intentionally wreck you in the meantime... -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I like Western Digital's RMA Policy the best. If you choose to, they'll ship you a new HDD the day you request one (or the next business day if you miss the cutoff). They pay for the shipping of the new one. You have to leave a credit card number with them, though. That way if they don't get the hosed drive back within 30 days or determine that it is not warranty, they'll charge you for the new one.

Ludvig11 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 HOW can a such things happen?! with new parts and all.... I have had my parts in soon three years and they where just budget parts... without getting any real problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Is this the same mobo that the dead CPU was originally in? CPUs rarely fail by themselves. Either it is caused by mobo problems or it causes mobo problems. I hope that the damaged mobo didn't damage that new CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XG Fox Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 I have some good news and some bad news. Good news is, 1) I'm not dead, 2) computer should be back up by next week sometime (FINALLY) and 3) I got a ton of pics to fire up here, though I'm gonna hold one back til Christmas. More good news is that the RMAs were received at their places on Monday, and one of them was done that same day. No word on the other yet though. And... actually, there really isn't any bad news. So yeah, catch pics. First, the Starlight Fox you've all been wondering about since I haven't been on nearly long enough to upload it. Character number SEVEN for me now. And this would make FOUR arctic foxes in that number. Aaaaand next.... some 3d stuff I've been working on... F-Zero GX track remake, Dash's FX Cannon... the usual. Another pic of Dash's FX Cannon, now with better lighting and WATER REFLECTIONS! Last but not least, car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 ...Dash's cannon never looked better. Welcome back! Glad to see you're not dead! And don't be ashamed by having lots of characters! In fact, make more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
