| 274992 | 2004-09-24 01:23:00 | Hey guys, Y'know how like a month ago I was having problems with my brothers computer? Well I'll just refresh your memory. My dad got some new hardware so he gave my brother the old motherboard, processor and ram. The motherboard is an ASUS A7VL-VM with 1x512MB SD133RAM, 1x128MB SD133RAM, AMD Duron 800 processor, and built in 8-32Meg graphics. This was installed in my brothers old case, replacing the mobo that the cat pee-ed on, along with a hyena 250W psu, CD Drive, and Hard drive. Although I'm not sure what happened to the hard drive, i think my dad threw it out cos it wasn't working, and put in another one. ANyway, what happened is it kept doing physical memory dumps and now the VGA doesn't work. Nothing comes up on the screen, even if we put in a PCI VGA card. Heres what I've tried so far: memtest86 - didn't report anything wrong but kept looping the test shorting cmos swapping positions of ram sticks using either ram stick by itself What else could be wrong? I really want his computer fixed so he stops asking to go on mine. Cheers Willie_M |

| 274993 | 2004-09-24 01:30:00 | Have you tried another CPU (if you have one around to try)? Does the computer make any error beeps when you turn it on? | wintertide (1306) | ||
| 274994 | 2004-09-24 01:38:00 | Why do you expect a Motherboard that has had a cat pee on it to continue working? | metla (154) | ||

| 274999 | 2004-09-24 09:58:00 | Yeah, try another PSU and don't get a cheap one. Decent brand like Enermax of about 350W will do. | alphazulusixeightniner (185) | ||
| 275000 | 2004-09-24 10:41:00 | 350w for a duron 800 running a single hard drive and cd rom drive. My PC is a xp2600 running 4 ide devices and a agp card and its a cheapo 300w... |
