hey jeff remember me..lol..
jeff if you ever work on computers
you should read this..
im going to go off on a little tangent point here..
but it is kinda the fault that made all of this problem..
and why i moved my hard drive to another computer in the first place..
remember what started it all was..
when my Abit KT7-raid mother board died..
and i put my salve Quantum (data only) drive into a Compaq 5000 US
well heres what my KT7 computer was doing...
it keep locking up..
freezing..
it would freeze up on the windows 98 logo screen..
it wouldent get past that..
and sometimes it wouldent even make it to that..
one day it was fine..
the next day it was dead..
i couldent get into windows 98..
i read fourm after fourm..
and tried everything all of them said..
to try and fix my computer...
replace the memory..
replace your power supply..
replace your video card..
replace your processor..
sound card....
cables..
this that..this that
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH...
reinstall windows..
yeah thats the fix everyone recomends...
when nothing they recomend works...
re-install windows...
none of what i did worked!..
short of re-installing windows
well guess what jeff..i figured it out..
and fixed my Kt7 motherboard..
and im thinking this might be a big problem with more peoples computers
then most people know about...
it has to do with a manufacturing defect with MILLION AND MILLIONS
of capacitors that were put in almost every mother board made
Abits..Msi..Giga-bytes...ALL OF THEM..
i found this web site..
http://www.badcaps.net
and i read this page.....
http://www.badcaps.net/pages.php?vid=4
**this is the page that explains how it all happened**
and i read their fourm...
http://www.badcaps.net/forum/
to find out how to fix it..
well i re-capped my motherboard..
and soldered all new Nichicon caps in my board
and replaced all my **bluging TP-cons**..i replaced them all..all the caps
on the board..
there is picture apon picture of these bluging defective capacitors in their
fourm
from peoples post's in it...
i wonder how many people have this problem and don't even know..
and i wonder how many boards have been thrown out because of it..
well now my mother board runs better then it did brand new..
it runs like superman on steroids..lol..
i wish i would have read those articles years ago because all the problems
i ever encountered were probably all related to this problem..
till one day...it got so bad..
it wouldent work no more..
and my mother board died
plus!!!
i had 2 power supplys i bought over the years that died..
a 350 watt one..
and a 400 watt one..
guess what..
i replaced 6 caps in one..for like 4 dollars
and 5 caps in the other for 3 dollars..
they work now!!!!
i wish i would have knew..
i would have not had to buy third power supply for 65 bucks..
i have a 32 inch TV i bought a few years back..
the top and bottom of the picture
got big black lines in them..top and bottom..like 3 inches wide..
so i bought a new TV for like 400 bucks..
because my old one went bad with those big black lines..
well guess what...
i replaced 1 cap..for 65 cents..
and now my TV works again...
lol..im going Cap replace crazy..lol...
i wish i would have read that web page years ago...
i would have saved alot of money..
anyways..
maybe alot of problems people think are caused by this or that
really might just be bad caps...
im going to check those first thing from now on !!!!!
back to my hard drive...
well..
i put that hard drive back in my RECAPED Kt7...and its seeing it..
nothing was wrong with the hard drive to start...
it was the stupid Compaq system..
BUT!!!
BUT
but i did some things to the Hard drive using TESTDISK..
that the developer of TESTDISK had me do..
like changing things on the master boot thing i think...
and now the files arent acessable...
i see funny looking files and folders
they all have funny symbols..
insted of the names..
and...i dont know...
i think i messed stuff up doing what he said to do..
...anyways...i'll look into that..
and try to find out what things i did..
so i can tell you what i did..
its hard talking to that guy..
i dont think he speeks english.....im guessing..
i'll do that in my next post to you..
but yeah it was that gay AZZ Compaq...nothing was wrong with the hard drive
in the first place...
it was something in that stupid compaq set up..
im going to have to ask that TESTDISK guy what i did and how to reverse it
if i can...
yeah thanks for trying to help me Jeff..
talk to you soon buddy....
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
