cs:go crash issue

[skeletor]

It's rare for a motherboard to go wrong but I've had one go before and like yourself it was an old one. Ended up replacing CPU and RAM too.

to be fair its been good as gold.. every asus one ive had died on me so went for a gygabyte. i bet if i now plug the hd i thought was fucked into a new motherboard it will work fine.. i only had it for about 10 months. i cant think what else it could be other than the board itself . im posting this now on it..after turning it on and off a few times and repeatedly pressing the restart button on the top of my tower... hopefully ill win this one on ebay... up to £4.20 so far

[sparksy]

well i don't know how I manage to pick these duff rig parts you know.. apparently my intel sandybridge cpu 3rd gen was recalled at some point and the full sized 1155 ATX motherboards are like fucking rocking horse shit to find.. and most are second hand. lost the ebay bidding ffs, put in 29 quid max and it went for about 35 quid found some from spain without the I/ 0 shield ... I DONT THINK THE MINI VERSIONS M-ATX are going to cut the mustard... so if i can get a second hand one i may need a new bundle from someware even brad is still on 775 socket and you can still get those easy i may change to AMD if i have to get a new board and cpu..fuck intel

[skeletor]

AMD change their sockets as much as Intel.

[sparksy]

yeah... its just i can get a new board and new AMD chip for around £150 quid, were as it looking like the second hand boards are going for 40-60 quid upwards on ebay... i offered a guy £50 for a compatable board last night.. he refused and it had sold for £60 this morning whats asrock boards like? http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product ...

OR that board and the psu shown ?

[skeletor]

ASRock are fine, more of a budget brand.

Have you tested your PSU with a multimeter?

[sparksy]

No I haven't got one... I nearly bought one when a friends psu was playing up and I watched a video on it.... but never ordered it... it is a possibility I suppose I'll soon know I won an as rock board in good condition yesterday...and went to pick it up tonight it was near cov. still I had to bid £48.01

[sparksy]

Well it wasn't the board..fitted new one well second hand one in good nick, asrock it was... Just starts up on its own still so I went to price up a new psu and they reckon strip it all down to barebones first and see if it still does it.. Then it will be the psu, I even took the power supply button out to make sure it wasn't than..... Pain it is getting yes ( in a Yoda type voice )

[skeletor]

I've got a PSU tester somewhere which I can send to you. It's basically a very very simple multimeter and will flash red if any of the voltage lines aren't giving enough power.
