bummer, Shimmishim

I know how ya feel. My main rig and 2nd system took a power surge a few nights ago. One will not even detect IDE devices and the other is too unstable to run. I keep getting BSOD's and reboots. This sucks. Believe it or not, both were on APC UPS units and still got damaged.

OOPS!

Check into APC's warranty--they should be covered.

I feel your pain man! I was down for almost a week! My main rig died (had my setiqueue) and the other 3 sat idle. But the new stuff came and I am pumping them out even faster now!

What new stuff did you get? What mobo died? Is it sill under warranty?

 

[Shimmishim]

i burnt out a resistor on my mobo while i was trying to mod it... it would be dishonest for me to try to RMA it to epox (8rda+) so i bought a new one instead

abit nf7-s plus a tbred 1700+ and a new 60 gig hard drive (time for raid)

Shimmishim, ouch man! I've done it too - still got that mobo sitting here where I can see it as a reminder to be more careful.

Did you see my post in OC answering you?

[Shimmishim]

it wasn't with a cpu!!! it was that dang nab it vdd mod.... dunno what happened.... busted a resistor and my board no longer works... on top of that... my mobo and processor were delivered today by ups but i can't find it!!!! they might have dropped it off at a neighbors but i've asked 2 of 3 neighbors and they say they didn't receive it.... man o man... UPS blows!

yeah, my ups guy has been pretty good up until yesterday - glad eXcaliberPC packs with plenty of protection.
I was walking up to the door to open it when I saw the UPS truck, the guy had gotten almost to the porch and I saw him toss the package from the walkway up to my door - bounced off the door even! Incredible!!!
