So, over the holidays i was at a friends and played Rock Band 2 on a ps3... was a total BLAST!

Anyways -- I have decided to get a PS3. Which means I gotta figure out how to give it access to the...

The relationship has definitely turned cold. The super-computer is totally un responsive to my touch -- no beeping, no posting, nothing on the monitor, no input devices.

Fans do spin, lites on...

Ok -- Gigabyte is tell'en me 3-4 weeks to get the board fixed or replaced. TOO LONG!

If I were to purchase a new gigabyte p45 board would it just be a matter of swappin' stuff to the new board?

Here the latest... its not good.


Ran Memtest86 for 2 hours no errors.
Ran prime95 2 minutes -- errors.
Updated drivers -- errors.
*attempted to repair Vista 64 -- but got confused*...

Pulled the sound card... more blue screens and app shut downs.

Just completed a full virus scan... does that mean for sure its hardware?

I downloaded memtest86... but am running Vista. and the free version didn't like vista.

Thanks for the reply chunky.

I think there are different ones. I can't seem to read them fast enough...

Some reference new hardware, but I haven't added anything. Others reference drivers and such.

There are also random...

Not sure if its RAM or something else, but... after about 8 months of joyful homebuilt cyber-joy, last week I started to see some BSDO's.

Course I just ignored them... and rebooted. Now its...

All kinda BSOD, application shut downs, this-&-that not working. I grabbed Prime95 again and ran a stress test and I fail. :(

what's the next step?

on my Asus DVDR?

Was working fine when I finished my last test. Put the case on and moved it into position and now I see a solid green light on the drive.

It won't open, and I don't see it...

done-and-done.

cue the pomp and circumstance track -- I dust graduated!

Thanks for all the great walk through and great support.

I did it! Thanks to Rob, WiseMonkey, Shyster, Bighoo... and everyone who helped. Ya'll know who ya is!

Thought I had it figured out, but then didn't.

Seems that Vista only sees a regular vga adapter, and nothing...

But it was all too good to be true...

Seems that my evga 8800gts 512 is only appearing as a plain old nothing VGA thing.

And the x-treme soundblaster card doesn't seem to be working eaither.
...

just needed to pci-e some more juice to the gpu. :)

so... now it beeps once, quick.

all the fans are spinnin', lights flash on the mobo near the ram... but no bios or video?

doesn't talk about the codes... but I found the site that said it could be a short?!?!

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

All the fans are spinning, the ram seems to flash

No signal on the monitor.

I did a bad thing I think.

Thanks Bighoo!

So all I really gotta do is drop this sucks in the slot?
