A little housekeeping coming soon

Go for it dude! ":O}

OK, +3 for new badges. Anyone else with input?

Does anyone know where this one came from, 'cause it was here before me, and I have to research the requirements of the design for our site before we do anything.

As I recall, it was a popular uprising......I just wrote a little code to make it all work.

That's exactly the plan, if enough peeps are interested in a new one. But before I spin everyone's wheels it needs to have some support.

Here's what I have so far for the linux install. I need to go through the configure stage of setting it up, but wanted to get you something in case you are trying to work around me.

[ThunderRd]

Don't rush, I'm not doing any workarounds. You'll be finished when you're finished.

Had to wait until I got back to the house to figure out why I hadn't gotten points today. Never a good feeling when you walk in the house and all the clocks are flashing 12:00 and my rig won't post. Guess my $130 surge protector was a waste of money as well. It's either a motherboard or a CPU, I'm hoping it's the board because I don't think I can get another 920 that will overclock to 3.6 on stock voltage.

That's worry some to hear about the surge protector being useless. I have the 3 rigs with less expensive surge protectors but when you buy something you have faith it will do as stated. So much for that.

[ccperf721p]

It was more just that one surge protector that didn't do it's job, My server is fine (outside of having to clean up the filesystem) and the one other rig I had running on a $20 dollar protector is fine as well.

[PorPorMe]

That's good to hear, for you, and the rest of us! Here is hopeing it's not the CPU.

[ThunderRd]

I remember once having the same thing happen, got home and the power was cut. The machine didn't post at first, but after a "rest" overnight it posted, but the BIOS had been corrupted. A flash put everything in order. I hope for your sake it sorts out.

I have lots of problems with the power and telephone infrastructure here. It's simply not up to US standards, although it is probably the best in Southeast Asia. I use expensive UPS units and still they occasionally let me down. I never have gotten my head around UPS specs regarding speed of the inverter switching over to battery power. Mine are attached to a serial port and are instructed via software to shutdown the box if battery power gets to under 10%. Still, I do find that they sometimes don't kick in fast enough, and the box gets its plug pulled instead of a soft shutdown.

My server and other rig are on a dedicated line with it's own breaker in this 40 year old house, I was going to start pulling new wire for the rest of my important stuff when I moved in, but never got that far. Something about pulling my 240lb butt through the attic when it's 115 degrees made me say wait until winter.

I pulled everything and tried powering up the board, as soon as I hit the power button the leds on the board dimmed about 1/2 way and stayed like that.

I'll pick up a board on the way home tonite. Bad part is even an ECS 1366 board is close to $200..

[ccperf721p]

The shop I stopped by only had a Foxconn Flaming Blade in stock, so I grabbed that and my computer is up and running again, although I think flaming turd would have been a better name for the board.

On a good note, I sent an email to Biostar telling them what happened and I wanted to send my board in to have it repaired at my cost. 2 hours later I was asked for a copy of the invoice, 3 hours after that I had an RMA # for a no charge repair or replacement. I never even mentioned that I have 2 other rigs with Biostar T-series boards in them running..

Glad they stood you to another round! Drink deeply! ":O}

Good to hear that they helped you out. Now you have a backup "turd". Always good to have one of those

@Michael, Cliff: I'm going to use my new powers to move the posts about GPU and WINE to the GPU subforum and start a new thread. We're a bit off-topic here
