Either that or he'll have Burner anomalys developing in his room :laugh:

Chicken Patty · Aug 25, 2009

I tried to google that, what the hell is burner anomalys?

Velvet Wafer · Aug 25, 2009

i've been doing horrible these past days, plague with instability even at stock clocks. I was about to take apart the rig and start RMA'ing stuff when I figured, holy shit! I have a sound card, whats my onboard audio doing enabled? So far so good after disabling it. I'll keep you'll posted.

LOL. It's amazing how we forget the little things. The other day when switching out an i7, I got distracted by one of my daughters as I was putting my block back on the chip. I went and dealt with my daughter's percieved emergency. I came back, and booted up into the bios. I just happened to check my temps. The damn thing was at 92c. I was like WTF!!! Then it dawned on me, I never tightened the block down.... :shadedshu:

laugh:

OK guys. Looks like it will be Monday before my 3rd i7 cruncher will be up and running, since I'll be waiting on some parts. I'd like to thanks live/bing cashback for this 3rd i7. I've made enough cashback over the last 4 months to pay for the entire system!!

yeah man, stuff like that happens all the time to me, just normal I guess. BTW, I think my sound card is dead. It usually has a red light that turns on when it powers up, the light doesn't come on and windows won't pick up the sound card. I removed all drivers and files from registry for creative, and i'm back on onboard. Tonight i'll try it on my buddies rig to confirm it is the card, and if it is see if I can RMA it. I'll have to contact the person who sold it to me see if he has the receipt or something.

Velvet Wafer · Aug 25, 2009

i believe my onboard audio hates heat too... after adding the heatkiller, the mysterious bluescreens vanished, i had them only on time at 4 ghz

i think i will work it out!

I've been having mysterious reboots of my machine lately too. :wtf:

I looked in the event log and saw that it had spontaneously rebooted at least a half a dozen times yesterday (the final time it went into recovery mode). The culprit seems to be the Roxio Media Manager (installed with my Blackberry Desktop Manager); I uninstalled it and now I'm holding my breath. Rebooting every couple of hours sure doesn't help the RAC any. :banghead:

Chicken Patty · Aug 25, 2009

yeah, well sound card is out. I took like a one hour nap, came back to find another BSOD, same one "machine check exception" I'm starting to think it's the damn board. Maybe my PCI slots are dead and thats why the sound card is not been read. Yesterday I was loosing internet connectivity, i'll reboot and it'll be fine. These are signs of a dying board aren't they?

similar happened to me, due to bad heat in my room

p_o_s_pc · Aug 25, 2009

I just got an offer from a friend for a Asus M2a-WM and a x2 4200+(clocks to 3.2ghz stable) for $30 If he still has it next week i am for sure going for it... if i get that i am also considering getting another Socket A rig going. I have a board lined up for it and i have the ram but i would have to get another PSU and possibly another HDD(not sure if teh extra one i got still works)

but 3 x2s @3ghz and 2 Socket A @2.2ghz and 1 p4@2.6ghz and 1 p4HT @3.1ghz wouldn't be bad points

Chicken Patty · Aug 25, 2009

its addicting it isn't is POS?

@velvet, theres not much heat, everything is fine now at stock clocks. Maybe it was just not stable. but i'll see. I'll leave it at default clocks for a bit and see how it behaves.

p_o_s_pc · Aug 25, 2009

@CP it sure is addicting. I have even looked into a Core i7 but i can't bring myself to spend that much money for crunching and for gaming and stuff i don't even need anything more then my lil old X2

I keep trying to tell myself if i get a i7 then i will have only it crunch and there will be less noise but i know that isn't true at all :laugh:

maybe when the prices come down(and when the GF stops wanting to go everyplace) i will consider it more

yeah, but maybe you can build yourself a quad core AMD rig? Saves a few bucks over a i7 rig

wouldn't take much for a quad core AMD all i would have to do would be buy a PII x4 for my rig i have now and maybe upgrade the ram and video card(after DX11 comes out) maybe buy a cheap AM2 board for the x2 i have now... I'm just going to stop there before i give myself more ideas and end up with 10rigs crunching.(hell would feel cool compared to the room they are in)nice thing is the room all the rigs are in are on there own circuit not shared with any other part of the house

I would also love to build many crunchers, but either the house will catch fire from electrical shorts, or I will loose about 100lbs due to the sauna :laugh:

It's very addicting. For me, it's taken the place of hardcore benching...not that I avoid benching once in awhile.

I know i can't afford to lose anymore weight i am already skin and bones(well not completely true) but i am about 30lbs below my ideal weight :laugh:

same here man, it's fun just trying to move up in ranks but at the same time it's such a friendly competition. I've never been a few points ahead of someone, but wanted to actually help them pass me. Its crazy!!!

might not be completely true, but sounds very close to the truth :roll:
