so I got all excited and bought a new processor, another 512mb of RAM and a new HD for audio and backup...

mobo is an Epox 8kha+, was running an XP1700+, now its a 2400+

I had flashed the bios with no probs, even run a bunch of shit afterwards to make sure it was all good.

it WAS

so I pop the new processor in, with nothing attached...just the proc, RAM, and vid card.

hit the switch, and poof. turns on for a split second then turns off.

FUCK FUCK FUCK

so...I put the old processor back in...SAME god dammit!

it was working perfectly before all this fucking shit...and now even the old config wont work

cleared CMOS and tried again, still naught

the ONCE, with the old processor, I got it to turn on?

ONCE, out of 15 times. now nothing again.

I can not for the life of me figure this fucking shit out and I am about ready to break something.

argh.

I know no one hear can really help, but Icant call epox or amd til tomorrow and I wanted to whine. fuck

it wasnt fragmented as I defrag about 1ce a week

as for IRQ...Im starting to think that might have been it, with the SCSI card in there and now its just IDE

gotta get some round IDE cables tho, as this looks like SHIT.

oh, and some new fans. quieter. its not bad, but I want near silent if it exists

That big of a diff from the 1700 to the 2400 ?? wow I should really bump mine up I'm still running a 1.4 ghz Athalon I've been holding out for the 2800 to drop under 100 bucks but if you got that much more preformance from 1700- 2400 mabey i should just buy a 2400

dunno yonce

as pointed out..it could have been other probs too?

but the only changes I made were:
faster proc
512mb more ram
pulled the SCSI card (was in slot 5)
moved the RME from slot 3 to slot 2.

thats it

Yonce, I'd defo go for the upgrade to a 2400. I did it a few months ago from a 1.4 Tbird and got an extra six tracks and quite a few effects on a track that would throw up Audio overload messages on a regular basis. And even now, with the extra tracks etc, it is still not in the yellow on the CPU meter in Logic.

Sounds like a plan, I already have another 512mb of ram i was waiting to add when I upgraded the cpu. Iv'e been putting it all off since I should really move it all into the rackmount case I bought if I'm gonna open it up anyway might as well do it all at once..... which means I need to reorganise my rack......and put in my rackmount power strip......and remount my midisport....and my usb hub.....and rerun wires and organise the whole friggen office...dammit influx =)
