DST4ME's computer

P.S.

this guide is a bit old but you can start with this one

AS for my pc, my cousin told me that venom had him take out all 3 sticks of ram and reseat them, then he tried just one stick in different ports.

so the ram has been checked and double checked, unless all 3 sticks are bad.

the computer left DS with cpu working, computer was taken out of the box and never ran once, never posted, so what else other then shipping can it be?

cmos was reset.

pci lane jumpers where changed to disable so its not the pci lanes and cards either.

its either the cpu or mobo.

it makes no difference who is there, venom and my cousin (John) are doing the same as if I was there.

ya it goes thru codes apparently then stays on 25 for a few seconds then goes to ff and get stuck there, I see evga says that ff from the begining is not a good idea and is the mobo, but from what my cousin tells me, it goes thru the codes, then get stuck with ff, it does not start with ff.

I'm not waiting anymore then I have to, if the cpu does not fix it, it goes back unfortunately, but I'm hoping the cpu is the problem.

you guys got any ideas, let me know I will ask my cousin to do it, keep in mind ram has been tested (taken out, etc), cpu was taken out and poped back in, pci lanes were disabled via jumpers.

Lol that is such a confusing website. THere are like diamond objects when it suggest components for a cooling system. Do those mean or?

ok, so no GPU detected, I don't understand disable the jumpers..that won't help. did they re-seat the GPU's?, of course re-seat all the power to the GPU's and on the backside of the PSU?

If its going through codes, then going to FF it is posting. Another way to ensure its posting, is push the num lock key on the keyboard, if the light comes off and on, well you know its posting and its not the cpu.

Definition of DIY Liquid Cooling System - Liquid Cooling system with ALL parts ordered and self-built

What you put there is an all-in-one system, which usually suck, and are non-modular with no possible user customizability. A DIY LC rig is fully customizable by you, from the pump type, to the reservoir, to the number of radiators.

Lowest cost I can get it for a CPU only rig with dual 120mm radiators is $450. Here are the parts I've arranged...

XSPC Bay Reservoir and Pump Combo
2x Swiftech MCR120 Stackable 120mm Single Radiator
Cooler Master R4 Series L2R fans for radiators
Swiftech Apogee XT Extreme CPU Waterblock
Arctic Cooling MX-3 Thermal Interface Compound
ArctiClean Thermal Material Remover and surface cleaner
PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing 1/2"ID and 3/4"OD
A little bit of Tygon Silver Antimicrobial 1/2"ID and 3/4"OD tubing thrown in for antimicrobial properties
Primochill Nylon Reusable UV Reactive Hose Clamps
Koolance G/14" Brass inline drain valve
G/14" Barb FIttings
Feser Aqua Non-Conductive Ultra Pure Water (well, for you, I'll be using ridiculously pure water coming from my mother's hospital, )
PrimoChill Liquid Utopia
Feser Base Corrosion Blocker


If you throw in quick releases, expect to see a price bump up from $100 to $200.

And some addition work. I don't know the specifics.

Have you tried plugging in a keyboard?

i think your pc needs an easy button

ok pc picked up and gone back to DS, hopping to get it back soon.

lol no, but my cousin tells me that pics don't do it no justice and that it was amazing

hopefully next time I will be here and it will run too

lol I don't about all that now, I'm so busy lately I don't even have time to scratch my head, lol but I will see what I can do for sure

Lol you are so patient ;)

i mastered paitience when raiding leading 40 ppl on Twin Emps...... just saying ROFL

any updates?

figure out what the problem was?

Well originally we called evga, and they could not tell us why we were getting the "08" code and no post, they recommended we rma the mobo, so I'm assuming it was the mobo, but let see what they say.

On the different note, I'm having a wonderful month apparently, since my motorcycle got stolen right from the front of the complex, I'm so upset and ticked off, at this point I don't even care about the bike, I just want the mother "F" ers caught, now I got to wait 30 days for the insurance company to cut me a check, and only got knows how much they will give me, most likely not enough.

ok back on topic again, let see what they say about the pc, so far I love DS and how they are handling everything, I bet you I would have a bike much faster if I could have gotten that with the DS warranty
