Budlyght Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 So this weekend my lost power and my pc didnt like it (Yes I have it plugged into a surge protector and yes I should have a UPS for it). Dropped it off at Frey's yesterday morning and called today about picking it up and they said it would not be ready until at earliest tomorrow (Yes I'm cheap and chose the within 1 week option because that shit gets expensive). So if you guys need me i'll be playing diablo at 10 fps on my craptop.
Mastric Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Too late now to fix it yourself, but what didn't it do on boot?
Budlyght Posted February 2, 2016 Author Posted February 2, 2016 it didnt boot. its an older tower and its turned into a frankenstein of sorts. Only thing still original is the power supply and case so I'm imagining its something there. It's done this before and i have to remove the video card and pop out the CMOS battery and cycle it a few times to clear the capacitors (at least thats what my IT buddy tells me to do so I do it) however after trying this a few different times it still wouldnt boot. Checked all the cables to MoBo and they seemed seated to me. At this point it's out of my skill set to fix
