Knight Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Hey fellas, ive had a serious computer failure today, it would seem that the power supply has blown something internal and as such has taken everything else with it, leaving me with nothing but an expensive paper weight, i will endevour to get back up and running as soon as its possible, but its alot of money to start replacing stuff, Tagan, the makers of my PSU, will replace the PSU, but wont reimburse for the loss of everything else, and none of the other things are covered under the warrenties for this type of failure. Again im sorry to leave ya again, but at least this time its not what i want. Ill check in every now and then on my phone but thats all i have left Quote

Knight Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 Ok first let me say, Wow, wasnt expecting these kind offers. Now we have some good news. Good news, after much looking over things, i havent lost as much as i originally thought, what ive lost i.e blown is as follows 1 HD4890 1gb card - still have 1 left from crossfire 2 sticks of memory 1 HDD - thankfully not the one with IL-2 on it lol And obviously the damned blasted stupid thing PSU!!!!!!! Ive got no idea how ive got away with just those losses, at the moment this computer with the remaining bits working are running off a 350W PSU, which quite frankly is crap and old and i dont want to stress it and risk losing more. slight bad news, ive gotta wait for a replacement PSU and ill be up and running again, albeit a bit underpowered from what im used to, but at least ill be back. new PSU should be with me by monday or tuesday. So thanks for the offers guys, but as you can see, it would appear ive been slightly lucky that 50% of the computer survived. Quote

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted July 23, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 23, 2009 Good to hear the damage is 'limited' Knight... and you're right, do not stress it now... Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 23, 2009 2. Administrators Posted July 23, 2009 Sorry to hear about that m8, but with at least one 4890 you should be able to run much the same settings as before? (for IL2 anyway) Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Jabo Quote
Oldtimer Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I can donate 2 x 512Mb DDR 400 (184 pin?) if it's any use. Quote
Knight Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 thanks for the offer OT, but ive still got 4gb left after losing 2 of my 2gb sticks, once i get the new psu ill be back and running....im still fuming about the PSU and i will be getting on Tagans case about it, as this type of failure shouldnt happen, and if it does there should be some sort of protection of my computer internals in their warrenty if one of Their PSU's blows and causes other things to die.. I guess this thread could be closed as ill be up and running Monday, Tuesday the latest...was just annoyed had to vent somewhere and explain my absense Quote

Knight Posted July 24, 2009 Author Posted July 24, 2009 Another update, Tagan have really surprised me, they sent a new PSU out and it arrived today by UPS express delivery from the US, also there was a £200 check along with it to say sorry....im totally impressed, not only did i get a new PSU, but one of their top of the line PSU units Tagan PipeRock 1300w Modular..which inturn means im back and running sort of lol.
