Item Wanted: FCLGA1155 Socket Motherboard
Packaging Essential: If shipped
Desired Age: don't care
Location: George
Willing to accept a shipped item: sure
Ballpark/Budget Amount: not sure Lets talk
So I was minding my own business playing Skyrim when my old PC decided to crash! not to desktop, no BSOD Just dead off with no warning.
So I think no worry's we all know how much Bethesda hates its players! and you cant expect to play Skyrim with out a crash or two. So I go get coffee and sit down to play again but when I push the power button nothing happens! No fans spinning, no lights, its just dead.
The first thing to go though my mind is its my PSU so I do the check where you get a paper clip and stick it in the green and black wires on the connector and to my surprise it worked! at this point I I started doing everything I know! whether I thought it will help or not. I reset the Cmos, I disconnect everything, and and eventually I decide to power on from the motherboard jumpers. and sure enough every thing starts up!... and three seconds later one of the transistor things turns into a flamethrower.
its not the end of the world as the the only reason I kept the PC was it being the only machine I had running a windows OS.
And it would still be nice to get it back up and going. Not sure what id do with the components otherwise
FYI
