Again Fail. Give it up.

Sorry fellers, your admin/mod decided to do this publicly, so et tu, stevieboy.
Why post this after we exchange PMs? And in response to you calling me a 'fukr', i didn't get an imaginary PM from you. It exists and you sent it to an admin. I dont know how you can deny this. Check your outbox and look for the admin named: 'notebookforums'.

I have to go to ASUS to get a replacement, if they will take it back.

And a new case:
LIAN LI PC-65B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

And another hard drive, 500gb. And some more RAM. Going to install Windows XP, then dual boot Windows Vista. And overclock this mother.
And in another couple of weeks, I'll maybe get a new processor

what Asus products did you guys have? model numbers?

I'll have to get back to you on that Duke. I can tell you my last one (P5W DH Deluxe), but I can't remember the previous two models off the top of my head. I'm not sure how I can get the first one, either, other than driving to my parents and opening it up
Second one is probably on an invoice on Newegg, I'll see if I can find that right now.

Found the previous board. Wasn't on Newegg, but I found my build log thread from it!

ASUS A8V Deluxe

Well, I take that back. They all didn't die.

With my first computer, I'm pretty sure I had to RMA the motherboard once. I don't remember why, though (or if it didn't happen at all and I'm just confusing it with the second computer). However, I believe that it's running fine now, although it hasn't been turned on in years.

Second computer I built was watercooled. GB will remember that one. That one was the one with the ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard. I *know* I RMA'd this one once. I remember being very frustrated at the time, and I'm pretty sure it was because it was another ASUS board I had to replace. Towards the end of it's use, the computer was having a lot of memory problems and I was worried it was going to fail completely and leave me in the cold. Thus, October of 2006, I built my current computer.

Despite my better judgement, I ordered a third model of ASUS board. This time, the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe. Now, I don't know if this was my fault (probably was, but who knows), but it too suffered memory problems. I could never get it to run stable with my 4 sticks of memory (4096 mbs). Well, I take that back. In the beginning, it did, but ever since I migrated to a new case, it had problems. It might have been suffering problems before that, but I don't recall. I just know that I wanted a new case (which I ended up hating). Fast forward to last Friday. I had had 2 x 1 gb sticks of memory in my computer ever since I slapped it in a new case (last fall). I had had a 3rd stick of the same memory sitting on my desk ever since that same time. Feeling adventurous (and mostly bored) on that Friday afternoon, I decided I was going to try and get that 3rd stick working. Stick it in, BSOD on Windows loading. Try and swap it with one of the original two, booted up. I decided I was going to flash the BIOS to see if that'd fix the issue (since I was used a year outdated BIOS at that time. I know, I know, with the BIOS it's best to take the mentality that if it ain't broke, don't fix it since the BIOS is so fickle). Flashed the BIOS, rebooted. Got back into windows just fine. Restarted again, got into the BIOS and I was reinputting my settings and overclocking the computer back to where it was (3.1 GHz). At this point, there was still only 2 GBs of memory in the computer. Try and restart, computer didn't post. Removed all the RAM, no post. Try each individual stick, no post. BAH

Which brings me to now.

Lost a good bit of data on RAID array (around 400 GBs). Spent all last night trying to back it all up. Not a huge deal though, it wasn't critical files. Turns out it was my fault. I ran a program that dealt with the RAID array before my desktop was stable and during one of the 150 blue screens it seems to have gone through and trashed a bunch of AVI files. My fault and I've learned my lesson. Sucks that it happened though.


On a lighter note, pretty sure I'm gonna buy a Zune, and soon.

Damnit! Any more people leave from here and I'm gone. I'm tired of having my hangouts thrashed over personality issues.

On second thought, if you want to talk to me, either pm me or find me in the RET. I'm out of here...

What kind did ya get? My 30GB version has been good at least for what little I use it. (and I should probably take the plastic screen protector with the words off eventually )

And I guess my interview yesterday went well, now they want references.

Sorry for the late response Speede....

It's the new 80 Gig version, and only comes in black. I love the interface, the software and I was downright amazing at how lightweight it is. Darned impressive.

Good to hear your interviews went well, not follow through with some references.

Night Aliens.

almost always means you are getting close to hired, now just hope that your references gave you good ones and you will be solid.

Sorry I did not see this earlier.

I have the P5K-VM mother board. It worked fine for a few weeks and then nothing.
