ohhhhhhhhh i done a bad thing...

[tnx]

I formatted my mates PC the other week...Put him my "Special XP" os in..
But then he was moaning it was running slower than usual..

It is a 32 bit machine with a AMD 3+ gig chip...
After the format it only showed that it had a smaller chip in...
I told him not to worry and it was just one of the bios settings,it needed to be on 166 and it had probebly reverted to 133 after the format.
Last night i went round to change the bios settings for him and sure enough it was on 133 so indeed i did change it to 166..
Up pops Windows and i checked the system...There we were,it was showing a 3+ gig machine running at 2.16....
He wasnt so happy and wanted more....
So back into the bios settings i go....I did notice there was a 200 setting after the 166...
So i changed it......
Oh dear windows didnt pop up...
I switched off...Reset CMOS...Switched on....Oh dear....Oh dear indeed...
I ended up with my mate Ady coming round his house with a spare machine which just happend to be the exact same spec..
We swapped chipps....UH UH...
We swapped RAM...UH Uh...

We frigging swapped every thing and the frigging machine just stayed dead...
OH frig....I killed it.....

My mate Ady said he would take his PC away and mend it...
I feel so guilty...
But...
Before i pressed the SAVE button in the BISo screen after changing it to 200 i said to my mate if this goes tits up you cant blame me..
He said,ok just do it...
I did it.....Oh i did it allright....

tn...The PC killer.....

LOL it must have taught you something

Sorry to hear that mate, that's the risk you have to take when playing with bios settings, or ' overclocking ' .. hope that all goes well with the repair

[tnx]

Oh yes i have learnt summet...

NEVER mess about with other folks PC's....

Plus i have learnt i'm definatly NOT as smart as i think...

For the repair.....I know Ady will sort him out....

Ady is easily pleased.....I keep him uptodate will all my software..Plus there is some Bud in it for him....

[TGLucario]

ROFL....ya learned a lesson...but i hope the PC gets fixed

[Rocol]

Don't worry about it mate, I am sure it will get sorted .. yes I remember Ady, I often used to have a chat with him when we were all on MSN, a nice guy

The best way to learn, is from your mistakes mate, and believe me, I have had plenty of them in my time .. and I still do get them occasionally

lol ive been lucky all my problems have sorted themselves out
i did have 1 where it wasnt my fault but i didnt know
i plugged a mouse in with the ps2 port(its called that rite?? (the old school mouse plugs anyways) while it was on and i had also heard this crackling noise a few times b4 and didnt take much notice but it just all of a sudden made a heap of noise and turned off and wouldnt turn on so i took it down to the computer shop and they chaged me $30AU to tell me that it works and that it must of been cos i plugged it in while it was on i said it wouldnt do that blah blah and they insisted it was so i took it home and ended up finsing out a few days later my power cord was shorting out in the back of the computer cos it wouldnt sit rite but they didnt believe me lol
