Reset the BIOS. The settings may have gotten buggered in storage. All through DDR & DDR2 Asus was fond of junk non-Japanese caps. Disconnect the PSU and do the 5v continuity check directly on the pins in the mobo power connector. Did you connect any drives when you connected the motherboard? A …

I listened to quite a bit of Ghost and Soen over the weekend due to recommendations, I can't say I walked away liking either. I also discovered Dark Funeral actually released an album in the last couple of years (Where Shadows Forever Reign) and it's quite possibly their best album to date? There's …

A brand new iPhone SE because there will be no SE 2 and I can't stand big phones. ipse.jpg I've been told that iOS is the best computer OS ever. Maybe I should add a bluetooth keyboard and make it my daily driver. I'm currently on an iPhone 7; how is the SE compared to 7 spec-wise and size-wise? …

Nice grab, enjoy it! I got me a CT2770 (Nothing special, but I did not have one in my SB16 collection)

Too bad M-Audio does not give a shit about updating the Win7 driver. Like, at all.

The Athlon64 Socket 754 computer in my signature (I will list the parts again in a moment) was rehoused last night to a modern ATX case (because I want to use the Elan Vital T10 it is in for another purpose) and.. it would simply not POST.

Intel and AMD are closely matched only in your strange fantasyland. Pretty sure the context of the discussion was gaming, and pretty sure the benchmarks support that they are closely matched in gaming. If the rumours of Comet Lake-S being 8-18% faster than Coffee Lake are true, then that would give …

Back in the day I ran OS/2 Warp 3 on a 486DX-40 with 8MB RAM and it started paging right from the desktop, before loading any applications. You might reduce the life of your CF card that way. It was sort of usable but slow, Windows 95 was less memory hungry and felt faster on the same hardware. I …

Anyway, it's clear that Intel has some new products that have been delayed, so they have been 'stuck in the pipeline' for a while (not just CPUs, but they are also getting behind on the entire platform, with new PCIe standards and all). I'd like to see what comes out once the pipeline is unclogged. …

Got this for my mII-266GP build; I needed a PCI card with TV-Out for capturing DOS footage through S-Video. This is a SiS 6326 PCI. It ought to do.. I would hope.
