MY MOTHERBOARD IS DYING! Its not as bad as the fact that as its DRIVING ME NUTS!!!

My mouse and keyboard are randomly de-recognizing themselves in my hardware profile. ITS GOING CRAZY!!!!!!

I meant to ask, anyone have one to sell that will fit an AMD Athlon 2400+ or a proc/mobo combo??? ((Im lookin at you dirt))

Nope, sorry D...I haven't got one and know of no one who does, good luck trying to get one though.

Might be a software problem?

Alucard · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 11:52 am**

sounds like your motherboard is old. what model is it?

Defiant · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 12:16 pm**

Heh...ASUS A7VNX-X, or whatever. The cheap 266 MHz board they make. Sells for like $50. I know, I need to upgrade it. But its been going CRAZY! Its nice to be here at work with a keyboard and mouse that works.

Alucard · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 12:22 pm**

ok, maybe your computer is to advanced for the motherboard because you do need to upgrade yes.

I'd recommend a MSI PT880NEOLSR Motherboard

according to http://motherboards.bizrate.com/buy/products__att259--39835-,cat_id--419,keyword--,rf--mot006.html it's price ranges from 39-67$ and has: ATX - Pentium 4 - DDR SDRAM - 2 GB RAM Supported - 5 PCI Slots

Defiant · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 12:25 pm**

Nah, im gonna get a DFI Lan Party board, if I upgrade. Or maybe an ABIT or another ASUS. I dunno, I should start looking around...Besides, your MSI board doesnt support my proc.

Alucard · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 2:52 pm**

oh, that's not what i have, i have sumthin else its a top of the line MSI but i trust them over the other companies, they have very reliable equipment

Defiant · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 4:54 pm**

Yes, theyve been around for quite some time. Im more than happy with my ASUS, except for this recent mouse and keyboard crap. Oh, and the onboard sound died quite some time ago. I think its warning me to upgrade!

Alucard · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 8:44 pm**

i think u should then

Umm...what kind?

Oh, nothing in life is free...

Starbuck · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 9:24 pm**

I dont know. I have to take a part the computer first

. Its about Goddamn time I scrap one of them.

Defiant · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 9:26 pm**

Heh. Thats ok, im gonna get a pimp one. A really expensive one. I even budgeted the money to get it, by adding 10 hours to my timecard when I turned it in today!

Starbuck · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 9:32 pm**

Fine, I'm still sending you a *beep* of computer parts. You'll make better use of them than I will. I just scraped some LEDs and resistors, and made a nifty little robot that flashes and lights up.

Defiant · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 9:33 pm**

Heh...I like playing with LEDs, my old computer I spelled out "ALIDAR" in LEDs of various colors. It was awesome. Had some little plugger thingy to make them all go through, it ruled.

Starbuck · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 9:51 pm**

so, you want the parts

Defiant · **Tue Nov 16, 2004 10:50 pm**

IT DIED! I WAS CHECKING STV AND TALKING TO DAN, AND MY COMPUTER LOCKED UP, AND WOULDNT BOOT! Im so sad...

Starbuck · **Wed Nov 17, 2004 2:42 pm**

why don't I just send you a whole new computer? I was gonna scrap it anyways

Five - seveN · **Wed Nov 17, 2004 2:47 pm**

Can I have one too? *cute look*

Starbuck · **Wed Nov 17, 2004 3:17 pm**

Depends on how cute you are

Defiant · **Wed Nov 17, 2004 7:15 pm**

Heh...a whole computer? How crappy is it?

Yah, ive given up hope on the *beep*. Its gone. I get like 10 minutes of it working, then it dies for like an hour. Pisses me off to no end...Im ordering like a $200 one when I get my paycheck.

Starbuck · **Wed Nov 17, 2004 8:01 pm**

Its not crappy at all. I put together a machine that would cost like $1000

Link, the Hero of Time · **Wed Nov 17, 2004 11:29 pm**

Defiant I've got 2 words for you.

ASUS and eBAY.

I got a sweet ASUS motherboard from eBay for like $60. It's a really good one too.

Defiant · **Thu Nov 18, 2004 12:23 pm**

Nah, paypal pissed me off. They tried to rip me off $42, which I put a prompt stop to, but I still got hit for overdrafting fees. No more ebay or paypal. They bad.

Yah, but I want to get a motherboard with a strong warranty, and its worth every penny of paying retail to get that. If anything goes wrong, I dont have to buy a new one, just RMA it!
