There is *nothing* taking out his motherboard. His problem is fabricated in order to garner attention. This noong has a track record. |

m... Skybuck Flying wrote: The sticky plastic got sucked loose by the fans and the plastic dropped down onto the motherboard probably causing a short circuit... and two crashes. Skybuck... do you have any clues as to the conductivity of plastic (even the shiny crome-y looking stuff)? No, but I know what I saw, it short-circuited the electronics, twice. Bye, Skybuck. |

... Skybuck Flying wrote: To answer your question about the plastic stuff I used: I patched the holes on the side of the case from the inside with sticky plastic. The sticky plastic got sucked loose by the fans and the plastic dropped down onto the motherboard probably causing a short circuit... and two crashes. Maybe this caused damage... Just regular see-through sticky plastic used... from those round rollers. Plastic can't cause short circuits. This plastic apperently can, I dare you to try it out My favorite mystery explanation: Maybe it was charged with static electricity by all the wind. That's a very good explanation because did you ever notice how the plastic sticks to your fingers ? It's not because of the sticky stuff... it's the non sticky side that sticks as well. That's static electricty at work right there ! And we all know that's bad for electronics usually Bye, Skybuck. |

Hello, It seems the hardware of my pc is damaged again. Probably the motherboard. Sometimes the system crashes during a game. I cleaned the pc hoping that it would solve the problem but nope. There are some other symptoms: 1. Memory corruption/crashes. 2. The time runs a few seconds faster and then stops and then continues again in xp 64. 3. The time skips a second in memtest. Possible causes for damaged hardwa 1. Overheat in summer. 2. Short-circuit because of plastic stickers patching wholes which came loose. 3. Lightning strikes. 4. Maybe power surges because of stuck power button or switching on/off surround sound set. 5. Maybe just bad hardware not ment for heavy use, who knows Anyway another dead motherboard is scarey... it's not dead yet... But it's definetly time to eradicate possiblity number one. So today or tomorrow I will go or phone to local pc shop to see if they have any good 90 mm rearcase fans... to increase airflow in pc casing. I like the beautifull graphics in cod4... but I would like to have a quiet/cool system in the future. And the chances are pretty high that my future pc will be a cool pc and a noiseless pc.. which will hopefully last as long as the 386's and 486's pc did Bye, Skybuck. Take up flower arranging as a hobby. Less expensive when things go wrong. Bye, Michael |

Hardware damaged again. (Time observation is apperently normal)
Note on the time observation:
Apperently this is normal. The pentium III with Windows XP Pro behaves in the same way: It does: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Pause, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Pause, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, Pause, etc. Bye, Skybuck. |

Do you have a brain me wonders ?
If the motherboard is damaged then it will seem like all equipment is failing since all equipment relies on proper functioning of the motherboard in the first place Bye, Skybuck. |
