Computer Repairs

Well, me old trusty computer bit the dust while we were away. Odd,

because I left it powered down and unplugged from everything. I tried

everything, reseating all of the cards, new power supply, but none of

those brought it to life. My fans would come on but it would not

boot. I could not even get into the BIOS so I suspected the mobo which

was confirmed at my local computer shop. I bought a new motherboard and

in the process upgraded my CPU to an AMD XP2700. Everything seems to be

running just fine. Windows XP did not hickup at all putting in the new

hardware but we made sure to use another Gigabyte motherboard with a Via

chip on since that is what the old one used.
