smoke is usually a power supply. brown power kills comps... or a capacitor on the board.

hope you get it going.

The little people in his computer ran out of bowl's special herbs and so they started to get cranky.

Zombie, I knew that FLAK CANNON OF POWER REJUV was too much for your machine,

j/k

Sorry to hear that Zombie.

This kind of sounds like what happened to server Saturday.
The power supply went out and costed me $245.00 for new power supply and technical support.

Hope to see you soon and that you get it worked out.

During the old days you were allowed to use two of any 5x pus except for Pro 5 and Poison 5

Ok so my power supply went poof. On Friday I bought a new one and the pc still wouldn't power up. On Monday I took it to the closest computer place and after a few hours they said both my power supplies were bad, my hard drive was bad, and both of my cd roms were bad.

Ok I know that's bs because I tested each one in a different computer and told them so. After a long pause where he didn't say anything I said "so it's either the mobo or the cpu" and he said..."uhh probably".

So I tell him to slap in a different cpu while I waited. 30 minutes later he says the pc still won't start. So I tell him to put my cpu into a known working comp and viola it works!

I ask and he says he doesn't have any mobos and will have to order it. I tell him to overnight the damn thing because I didn't want to wait.

He couldn't overnight it because it was already 5pm so I told him to do it first thing Tuesday.

So Wed comes around and I goto pick up the pc. He says "I got all of your cd roms and hard drive to work, but you have to re-install xp because it won't boot".

Well since then I've tried everything I can but I can't get the damn pc to boot from a cd rom drive so I can repair my xp partition and get back to gaming

So now I have to search the net and see if I can find a way around this snafu

did you press f2 or some other key it tells you to press when you power on your pc then choose boot from cd rom?

Actually I haven't tried F2 but I did the F5 and F8 (along with holding shift and ctrl) and no boot from cd rom option.

It's a copy of a copy of xp pro and I remember having problems installing it on the new hd (had to restart a couple of times before it would go all the way through) but it always would boot from cd rom.

I think I'm finally caught up on the forums so I'm off to do some surfing and hopefully get this damn thing back to "normal" again
