    VIA: Another one bites the dust.

    My A7V133 just died on me, right after I slapped an AMD 2100+ in it. Bought the CPU used from a friend and stuck in my system and got nothing but BSOD's with XP. So I stuck my old CPU back in and the situation was worse. Thinking it was XP, I formated. And guess what? More BSOD's during the install.

    So I tried my CPU in my roomates system and it runs great, guess my board died on me, piece of shit. It's frustrating cause EVERYTHING I own is breaking down, and I really don't want to spend my money on buying new computer parts, but I guess I have no choice.

    Off Topic:
    The "Low Oil Pressure" and "High Oil Temp" lights comes on intermittently on my car now, coincedentally right after I changed my oil. Stupid broken sensor, can't you see that there's plenty of oil and that the engine hasn't heated up yet? Stupid car.


    Oh yeah, and I just caught a cold. So the car's sensors died the day before yesterday, my board died yesterday, and today I wake up with a cold, yipee.

    Have you checked the memory?? Get hold of memtest and run that. Also pull out any additional hardware as that maybe fubarring things up as well.

      Are you sure that board supports an XP2100+?

      Do you know which core it has, Palamino, Thoroughbred A or Thoroughbred B?

      Is it using the latest BIOS?
      When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

        Has latest bios (1009) and I did run extensive tests on my ram (simmtester, still have the diskette from the last time my ram failed on me, twas the very first test I ran).

        Besides, I hate my A7V133 and am just looking for an excuse to replace it.

        Palomino core, btw. Voltages and settings in bios for board were fine.

        I also have to mention that the chipset fan is pretty much dead and the heatsink was FULL of dust, so I think the chipset overheated and caused the failure.

            Oops, sorry.

            I got my new board, an ECS K7S5A Pro. With an SiS 735 chipset, woohoo! No more random crashes, yay!

              the Title is also really apropriate

                I often dis-assemble it to give it a full clean up, but there wasn't that much dust anywhere else which I found odd.

                Either way, I have a new board now, no more VIA.

                    ACK no

                    vacuum cleaners are bad for computers.

                    1) They can easily overspin and damage fans.
                    2) They generate enormous amounts of static electricity.

                        Depends on what kind of vacuumcleaner and who is operating them


                        1) They can easily overspin and damage fans.
                        Yup, if the one doing the vacuuming IS STUPID enough to do that

                        2) They generate enormous amounts of static electricity.
                        So what?

                        That can be easily grounded out in the same way as you do it to yourself when you are about to handle electronics

                          Common sense must be used when cleaning fans... use an old tooth brush/small paint brush to clean the impeller blades. Personally I disassemble and manually scrub.

                          As for static, in dry climates it can be a serious issue.. which is what I think is why rugger has had issue with previously, but there are electronics grade vacs designed to deal with the static issue. The small ones Wombat mentions are little hand helds that work a peach.

                            Ah, well, as long as you use the right vacuum cleaner, I guess its ok.
