A few weeks ago, George and I ordered some computer parts that were to be used (of course) towards the assembling of his new computer. After a long drive form Eau Claire, George and Davy sat in my home office anxiously watching me put all the parts together.
Pressing the power button, the fans started humming, heads raised towards the monitor in anticipation of the blinking underscore. NONE. I pulled out all the parts and put them back in a couple of times but 4 hours later we gave up. Something was wrong, the processor was either toast, the motherboard was in menopause or the combination wasn't prefigured by the right gods or as Davy put it George had "enyamo".
I shipped the pieces back for more testing as we waited for Newegg to ship replacements for the project. Seems like the replacements will be here some time next week and without George's "enyamo" around or any of the other factors that might have contributed to the start up failure, I will blend all the pieces together and at the end of it hope to have a spanking new Asus system. Here are the specs.
- ASUS Vintage-PE1 533/800MHz
- Intel Pentium 4 524 Prescott 3.06GHz
- 1 160GB Seagate Baracuda
- 1.5GB Wintec Memory (1 1GB, 1 512 MB)
- 1 DVD +- RW
- Nvidia G-force 5200 (128MB)
- Dlink wirelss card
