Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

I have continuously held a motorcycle endorsement since 1972 . I learned basic mechanical skills from my father , his father and a tolerant neighborhood filled with mechanics and machinists of widely varied disciplines . I have built most of my motorcycles with the exception of those I rebuilt . I have never owned a new off the showroom...

Just one curiosity though . With the board insulated from the chassis just in order for it to post/boot I can't reboot with the side cover on ?!?! . all I can figure is that there is some distributed capacitance between the case and the power supply...Leave a comment:

Re: Msi
I know it seems like a very long time since I reported on the saga of the MSI board but this one quirk is worth noting .While operating on the large size anti-static foam pad this was a solid system . Then for some reason I decided to finally install the hardware in a case .The machine would not even post . I removed the hardware from the case and all was well until the bios lost its mind (with a little careless help from me). I installed the hardware in the case (anyone see a pattern forming here ?) and again it refused to post let alone boot. It occurred to me (as well...Last edited by kopcicle; 03-29-2007, 09:20 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Msi
All I can hope for is a working motherboard . I am wondering though , the Ver 1 694PRO - D is a bit long in the tooth . I just don't know what MSI might have in the way of newer dual PIII to replace it with . If I do get the original motherboard back with "new old stock" caps installed I will be ordering up a full set of caps and do it myself .
This board was replaced in service well before it's time and would be a welcome replacement for my workstation that has been limping along at 1ghz ,1g , 40g HD for some years (the venerable ASUS CUBX-E ) .

This was a fine board with p3 866 sl4md installed for two years.It then began to reboot intermitantly followed by no post at all.I suspect bad electrolytic capacitors due to the numorous postings on the web
