    Pwr. Supply incompatability?

    Heh. Reseating the CPU -- it having not budged for two years -- solved the Intel 865PERL problem. Fired right up. One down, one to go. Now to mess with the AMD.

    Pwr. Supply incompatability?

    Intel 865PERL, 2.4Ghz, 2Gb OCZ 3200 mem, standard WD 80meg. Lian Li case with this supply. I love that case, by the way. Nice supply too, if the rig just worked... Like I say, this entire setup ran in another case with a different PS for two years. I can't remember what the PS was...

    Pwr. Supply incompatability?

    On the newer Intel 915 board, rebooting after adding the #2 HD didn't succeed. Fans, LED's, video, but no POST. Considering the number of times I've added HD's, this was a real first. The running main HD was a SATA Hitachi 80meg, the add-in was a working, written Western 80meg non-SATA...

    Pwr. Supply incompatability?

    I recently migrated a working AMD MATX mobo/mem/cpu and a working Intel ATX mobo/mem/cpu from one case to another. Power supplies changed, as did some expansion cards, but the rest is unchanged. Neither system will boot to POST or even video. Nothing I can think of brings them to life. Both...

    Is it illegal...

    It's not a warranty claim; it's a request to them to offer software that makes the product work as advertised, and failing that, to offer tech support that does instead. Seems to me this is closer to leveraging a customer into more purchases and/or deep-sixing justly complaining customers by...

    Is it illegal...

    That's fine but completely beside the point: HP refuses to talk to me after their software proves completely defective. In my case, this defective software has been abandoned because they want to sell more of their carts instead, not to mention that the product failed to work as advertised...

    Is it illegal...

    I have a k80xi, which is notorious for not holding software installations. It's a useless piece of junk to me at the moment. So I was spending yet another couple days trying to get HP's jacked software to re-install for the 20th time -- which it won't, even with HP's equally bad uninstall...

    Is it illegal...

    Is it illegal for Hewlett Packard to demand that I use only original HP ink cartridges or I will be refused service and technical support?

    Best Price EVER on this speaker classic!

    Hey guys, The mistake is mine: Didn't realize you can't talk about stuff you're involved with. My sincere apologies. The link between us and New Egg is far simpler than all this. We import these for them. (And we still can't believe how low they go.) That's it. Just wanted to get the...
