OHOH, Third Build already frooze and crashed... ! :O

Ok,

I was playing Call of Duty 4... and then I decided to bring down the noise
of the fans a bit... I make them spin slower... the temperature rises a few
degrees...

And then a few seconds later... bzbzbzbzbzbzbzbzbzb.. strange sound on
speakers...

And the system freezes.

I also noticed something in the bios menu:

APM Configuration options are missing.

Maybe the power supply went bad... maybe from all the power surges... or
maybe from thunder storm... lots and lots of thunder storms lately...

Could be interference from gsm's... the old pentium III monitor gets some
flickers now and then.... maybe wireless network intereference who knows..

But my safest bet so far is probably power supply bad...

This is more or less the worst thing that could happen.

Whoam... there goes the new system again... it just crashed again...

IRQ problem..

However I did read about windows xp x64 edition having some bug which caused
asus a8n32-sli motherboards to crash. I think it was service pack 3 or 2
related or so. I looked in add/remove software progam but there was no info
about service packs or so...

Oh man... sooooo much work.... and now probably all for nothing ?!?

Gje I'll try knoppix or so from boot cd... to see what happens...

Then me go look for new power supply..

Maybe I still have warranty on it or so...

Gjez.

Bye,
Skybuck.

Are you sure that the system did not commit suicide? There was a South Park
episode in which Paris Hilton's little dog got a gun and blew its head off.
Did you ever abuse your computer? Did you ever touch it inappropriately?

The problem is that you have lethally bad PC karma. You are the Bane
of Motherboards, the Box Slayer, the AntiBios, the Vaporizer. After
spending all that money, it will surely blow up.

Buy an HP and never open the box.

You have been warned.

No surprise, did you not listen to ANYTHING you were told.

Here you go again, don't forget the Aliens

Ask your parents to buy you a PlayStation 3 to play games

I also noticed something in the bios menu:
APM Configuration options are missing.

APM is pretty much dead (removed from most BIOSes), ACPI replaced it.
(Windows XP had a tiny bit of support for APM left; it's all gone with
Vista... and ACPI was first introduced around the Windows 2000 days...)

Maybe the power supply went bad... maybe from all the power surges... or

Maybe you should just get a Dell? :-)

Sporadic E is the Earth's aluminum foil beanie for the 'global warming'
sheep.

Even the overclocked pentium III 450 mhz to 600 mhz was crashing.

I clocked it back to 450 mhz...

I live in the Netherlands were temperatures are rising more quickly than
anywhere else in the world and my appartment is not very well isolated...

Currently the temperature inside my living room is 27 degrees celcius.

I kinda enjoy sitting behind my PIII...

Now I am left wondering what to do...

The company which sold the power supply went out of bussiness... and the
power supply was very costly... 127 euro's.

I already spent 400 euro's on repairs and replacements... this is starting
to get out of hand...

I am not even sure if the power supply is bad... might be memory modules...
or maybe even something else like the cpu itself etc.

Now the big disadventage of building a computer yourself is starting to
become apperent:

I do not have the necessary "debugging" equipment to figure out what's
broken this time...

Best I could do is reduce to minimum setup... which isn't that much
different and then start guessing.

Maybe I try minimum setup later with one memory chip... to see if it's maybe
the memory... yeah I think that's a good plan.. and also no more x-fi
soundblaster...

Bye,
Skybuck.
