PSU Death

Postby Gunny04 » Mon Dec 12, 2005 10:58 pm

You get the point, my new 6200 seems to have finally put this 250 watt to death.... Harsh punishment but she's working enough to keep winodows going, HP Made huge mistake, I found out this thing was overloaded straight from the store! Do yourself a nice favor and dont buy an HP..... Unless you change stuff imeditatly but still! Cheers, Gunny

....and then what? Buy a Dell or a Compaq ?

Obviously you missed all my rants and raves over the years regarding the Evils of mass produced prebuilts. About the only decent thing they are fitted with is a floppy drive, and not many people use those anymore.

I sometimes think that I am the only person on our side of the Galaxy who still uses 3-1/2 inch floppy disks... ;D...!
I regularly pop into my local computer store and buy a pack of them...(FLOPPY DISKS!!)....LOL...!
I find them useful for storing small files, pictures, text files, etc, or for transferring the files to someone else's computer.
Also, they remind me of the "Olden Days" when we all used floppy disks...and even 1/4 inch cassette tapes...Woo-Hoo... ;D...!
A blast from the past... ;)...!
LOL...!

Paul...(also, still on dial-up)... ;)...!
LOL...!

And you missed what I said about WHO bought the comp... lol I know what mass produced comps do and thats why I get in fights with my dad all the time..... (I've been through prolly 13 dells, HPs, Compaqs etc...) but This one I guess was supposed to be upgradable but its not, Not my fault if she dies! I checked voltages on the psu and then what a speedfan told me and wow! Even with the 6200 out and in its box its overloaded! Cheers, Gunny (Wants to build his own computer and call it mvirro2006!)


EDIT: Is there anyways to get rid of these bloody stutters? I bet I get my power supply here in a week and well everytime I scroll down a page it has some really weird effects and its killing me eyes! Right now I have the new 6200 in box awaiting reinstall when I get some power, if this isnt fixable till I get the new PSU I will deal! Cheers, and thanks for any help or replies!
