So I got myself an Aspire T180, it wouldn't work with my PCIe cards so I went to update the bios, and it corrupted itself, can't boot stuck on verifying DMI pool data. So what are my options.
A. buy a replacement bios for this board
B. buy a replacement Socket AM2 board
C. Cut my losses and throw the parts in my parts bin
Now the Acer case isn't worth keeping, the whole reason I got the system is because the power supply burned out and the power button is broke. it also smells like a cigarette, so its getting a new case.
The parts that came with it
Geforce 8500GT, tested working in another system
Athlon 64 X2 4000 tested working before the bios update went funny
2x1gb PNY DDR2 800 tested working
500gb Hard Drive working
DVD-RW Dual Layer working
I was kind of thinking if I decide to fix it I could build a really nice Windows XP gaming system with it.
I could grab
M2N-SLI Deluxe
a pair of 7900GTX cards
and a nice 600W psu
But would my X2 4000 drive that much power.
