Here's the crack that started my whole charade

And the ill-ordered replacement res :laugh:

And the unfinishing product. I didn't have time or light to take pics after this step but it's back to normal now

manofthem · Jun 5, 2014

I dropped the 4770k down 100mhz to 4.3. I was getting a random reboot like almost one every day, at random times; it happened after starting the folding on this rig. I'm going to check this out and see if it makes a difference. If so, I'll then take another gander at my OC and try to push it back up tot 4.4 or maybe even try for 4.5, granted will need more voltage and some more tinkering.

Maybe now I'll get my silver in BETA's

I think I only needed one for my silver. Been sitting at 43+ hours for months.

Turns out I got nothing from the BETAs. No new points/runtime, and nothing in my results listing either

Beta's don't sit around in your results listing for long... maybe a few days.

lol, I've checked before, and while I think I selected the correct settings, I'm slightly "tired after a few" so I'll check back tomorrow

Oh, I'm there... I'm trying my hardest to manage what I can do :laugh:

go to WCG, click on Beta Testing, make sure boxes are checked, click save

Man, last night I was looking everywhere except there for the Beta options. Then again it was rather late. :laugh:

Thanks for posting that. Yes, that's checked but still nothing. Strange, maybe I just need to wait more.

t_ski · Jun 7, 2014

Probably just luck of the draw. There were 1300 in the last batch, and I think I got four.

So team, can you maybe through a suggestion my way. I got a free broken amd a8 laptop that broke because it was jumped on by a child. I couldn't get it to show a picture through its hdmi port, so I figured the motherboard might be broken too. I took it apart and checked, the motherboard is intact and looks like it is in good condition. While apart I took of the broken screen entirely from the laptop so now it is just the keyboard body side.

Its only external video port is the hdmi. If I can fix it, I have a free low power cruncher. I am out of ideas on why it wont show a picture at the moment, so here I am picking your brains. Can anyone think of something I maybe should try?

t_ski said:
I've seen it where a bad palm rest would keep a laptop from booting. Can you removed it, disconnecting it completely?

james888 said:
The touchpad? Once I figured out how to open the darn thing, I was good, and now I can take detach anything. Hp used about 30 screws when it only really need 6, at least when I put it together.

t_ski said:
The palm rest usually means the touchpad and the entire area below the keyboard. Depending on the brand and model of the laptop, it could be a fingerprint reader, speakers, IDK what else. Most laptops that means the entire top of the shell around the keyboard. Sometimes there could be a short somewhere in that.

Arjai said:
The wires used to connect the keyboard and touchpad to the MB, are usually very small and delicate. Replace, or Sister, them and it might solve the problem.

2cents

I tried disconnecting everything that is not apart of the main board. I literally took the mainboard out of the case and am powering it on top of a cardboard box. Still though, no signal on video. Double checked nothing looks bad, bent, or broken on the motherboard and see nothing. I have reattached everything one at a time in order of essentialness to see if I get picture, and no signal. At this point I think I should just keep the hdd and recycle the rest.

Pull the A8, If it is dead, please send it to me.

I am dreaming up an Art project of dead and fried and old CPU's.

BTW, if anyone wants to, I am collecting them. I can't say what the project is, but I think it is unique. I have done some web searches and have not found anything like what I am imagining.

An Original thought? How unlikely, right?

Anyways, PM me with your old, dead, fried or favorite unused CPU's.

I would love a pile like this^ to get started. And no, I am not thinking of melting the gold off and selling it.

Nordic · Jun 7, 2014

The a8 is soldered. You can buy like 50 old dead c2d for like $15 btw.

I am hoping for a variety, not all the same, and would like them to be donated. I am, at this point, unwilling to part with cash until I can run through some R&D first. Which could mean, just a thought, the people donating may get one of theirs back, as Art, or a BETA of the finished Art...

I collect CPUs. Just because I like 'em. I've got quite a bit of a collection by now.
The oldest one I've got is an early Intel 286, dated 1982 (the year they were introduced). The second-oldest I've got is a Zilog Z80, timestamped with 9th week of 1989. So these two are older than I am. (I was born in 1989-12-20)

Nordic · Jun 8, 2014

Got my normal number of systems going again, but with some changes. I have the 2500k, g1620 celeron, my c2d 6300, and my remote a10-5800k, I have my useless remote i5-530 that gets ~50ppd, and my soon to be here quad core athlon. The x79 rig is being broken down. I am going all air for awhile as I don't have time to mess with watercooling for a few months. My gpu situation is still up in the air. Need to overclock the c2d 6300, and once received the athlon. Then hopefully I will be set for a few months till things slow down.

That little a10-laptop is really dead. The hdd wont show up at all in windows or linux. Sigh.

Haha, I've been trying to get my hands on old CPUs too; what are you doing with yours?

I will not be crunching or anything for a while probly; I got home today and my rig was off, started it and it shut down with CPU fan error. The pump isn't starting; I tried connecting it directly to a different power supply even, and nothing. Idk why it would fail, its not very old
