Well, my new processor finally arrived. It is an AMD Athlon XP 2000+. So I fitted it to my motherboard, powered up and .... nothing! No POST beeps, no error beeps, nothing! I managed to hold my temper and didn't kick the crap out of my machine. I tried a different PSU (Power Supply Unit) and that didn't make any difference. Took everything out, just left the processor, speaker wire and power switch on, and nothing again. So the only thing I can think of, when I got my new motherboard, the other processor fried the motherboard.
I have just ordered yet another motherboard. Hopefully within the week I will no longer get the problem and may well be back online with a decent computer again. I am not saying that this computer I am using at the moment is not decent, but when I have been using a processor speed of 1.53 Ghz, then go to a 910 Mhz, it certainly makes a difference. More so when trying to play games like Command and Conquer Generals where I only get a black background, and I have to turn graphics options right down. As a result, I have been playing on my XBOX a lot recently, or playing with my website. I have nearly completed HALO on normal at the moment. I just have the Pillar of Autumn drive to do now. Then it is on to play it on Heroic difficulty. If you have never played HALO, and you like First Person Shooters, you don't know what you are missing! It is a fantastic game.
Anyway, I've got Warhammer Roleplaying again tonight. WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!! NOOOOOOOOO!
heh.
