Computer down, bah
10 years ago
General
A month and week, or so, ago my computer went down. Couple days before thefirst so with some help from family I got a new mobo. Thought that was what died, new mobo but still down. Waited 30 days for next month's 100$ and got a new cpu. Hellish for a computer addict. Got the new cpu, it ran wonderfully for 40-60 minutes then bloomp.
Just sent it back to newegg for replacement and a hardware forum then told me my power supply was in a list withg others blacklisted for faulty and cheaper than dirt parts and 58% power effentiancy. Was a minor miracle it had lasted as long as it did. So now... another month. Also learned about those 80+ rating things I never paid much attention to.
So I am going 80+ gold at the very least. Went to check prices.. 50% off while supplies last... omg. Had to wait for bro to get off work before I could beg and plead for the money. 2 hours later SOLD OUT.
During this wholle time I had ads for computer fixing and cleaning up to help regain loading speed. No response in all this time.
I wanna cry.
I only post here when in trouble, I know, This time asking for help.
aree[at]artlover.com is my paypal.
Economy isn't good these days but one can hope, can't one?
ADD: Forgot to mention this is a borrow request with all intents to pay back over 1-2 months.

The PSU CAN and WILL bite you in the ass. Get a decent one or give up trying. It's harsh, but you only have to have a PSU burn your house down once to be a believer.
I've fixed literally hundreds of Dell and PeoplePC computers where the PSU went out. It is invaluable. I can't stress it enough!
Do you know what kind of PSU you need? I may have spares. Is the motherboard 20 pin, 24 pin, 20+4 pin, etc? Does it need a 4 or 8 pin molex for extra power? How many 4-pin molex conectors do you need for drives/devices, if any, and how many PCI-E power connectors? What kind, 4 6 or 8 pin?

I have 4 hard drives sata and 1 dvd writer sata.
Planned to get a gold rated or better, and thanks. Even if you don't have one the offer made my week.
I'll see if I can dig one out and test it, then i'll mail it. PM me your info.
Can you link me the psu? Wanna see what tier it is on http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/i.....tier-list.html these guys have been very helpful in the past and the list, just wow.
Specs:
3.3v@30A
5v@28A
12v1@14A
12c2@15A
-12V@1A
+5Vsb@2.5A
Kinda want to send you my spare Radeon 6850 512MB, but it has some issues... still, you'd be down 73w!
I have been planning to buy a new video card for a while but stuff keeps breaking and wearing out.

I gotta dig that other PSU out. Today was a yardwork in 90°F+ temps. So.. i'll get around to it when I can stop heatstroking. >.<
I just hope your computer lasts a while. That card is just ludicrous. It draws almost as much as my entire PC combined.

May also send you my old ATI Radeon 6850 512MB if you want it. Less than half the wattage of your monster. Newer too, I believe.
I can do better than 5$ probably 25 or 50, so I don't forget.
And thank you so much.
Thank you for being the friend of an old high maint smartass.
Life sucks without a car.
Plus the ATI 6850 512 MB if you want it. No charge- I believe it to be damaged. Tho it games fine and pretty darn stable, it gave me a slightly 'washed out' screen via HDMI, but the DVI works perfectly.
You won't find a better deal without paying upfront, i'm sure of that.
