Upgrade gone bad :(

Jul 12, 2007 17:00

I ordered a power supply and an few other thing to go along with it since it is will save on shipping all around.

I ordered a computer and monitor for my manager total of about 400.00 great deal on a refurbished computer. Same with the 17 inch Lcd.

Bought bit a 550 watt power supply for only 29.99 Vary cheap.

Bought a blue tooth Head set for 29.99 Great deal.

And the problem child Amd Anthlon 64 X2 3800+ socket 939 69.99 Good deal.

So i put it in seam easy i do it all the time. I turn it on nothing powers up powers for about 3 seconds than turns off. I am thinking what the hell.

Take it apart I know its the cpu I pull it out and I some how bent some of the pins. *Yells Fuck Load* Ok now what I grab Tweasers to try and fix it. And i notice how blind I am. Grab paper to put behind the pins to see them.

Starts straightening them working good except hard to fix the ones behind the edge ones, take be about 20+ min and it still wont drop in place so i go from side to side lightly putting them in board and it finally works i try it a few times to make sure it is good.

And now it works and I have a faster computer i checked to see if it affected the speed and it didn't.

Now I just need an old 939 board for my old cpu to turn it in to a download whore.

I have an old case and parts just need a board and maybe some ram don't remember.
