[LEFT]Am I posting in wrong forum? I'll try not to make new threads but I've
been searching for a while now, it's hard to browse the pages and I'm
in hurry because my comp might die any second!! Do you know any
Swedish forum similar to techspot? Well, I'm Swedish
I still have a AGP system and the day before yesterday the comp didn't start
because it said I haven't connected the Power extension cable!!! I tried over
and over again but it was the same. I opened the comp and reconnected all
cables even if all seemed alright. The comp worked another day...
Yesterday evening it happened again. This time in Windows XP. The screen
started to flicker and a warning message said some ATI driver was missing.
But it was because of the Power extension cable again. I reconnected all
the cables but the comp still claimed about the Power extension cable
over and over again. I gaved up and went to bed. Hopeless.
In the morning (today) I unplugged all extra stuff like sensors and leeds for the
case and I replaced the cables so there was no other stuff on the same cable.
Well... then the comp didn't start because the CPU was unworkable!!! "check
CPU soft menu"... Ok, but I saw nothing wrong in there and PC health looked
good. But the CPU was still unworkable. Back to the CPU soft menu I saw
nothing wrong except I knew that I changed it for many months ago because
I didn't want it to be overclocked. It was set to 204 MHz 3060 GHz before and
I changed to 200 MHz 3000 GHz. This time I changed back to 204 MHz 3060
GHz. And the comp worked again! That was weird. And now I'm sitting here
trying to make a technical post in english... LOL
The issue is quite unexpected even it have happend once a long time ago.
Now I'm afraid that my comp will get broken anytime, maybe next time I
restart it. Please tell if you've had similar problem. What do you think is
broken? The power supply, the mobo or the AGP card?
I have no technical data about my computer available but
there's a list at the bottom of the page in my Xfire profile
Ok I WILL upgrade soon but then I need a functional comp so I can
order some new stuff. And of course it's in the end of the week
