Endeavor to persevere... - Jim von Krieg - 06-14-2010

After much work, a few weeks, money, and colorful language my tired old desktop is once more fully functional... and working much better than when I started....

New 1 Terrabyte Hard Drive, new graphics card, new sound card, more RAM... New desk to put it on..

and what's amazing that even though I broke some power connectors I replaced them... AND the damn thing seems to work even though I need to probably upgrade the power source...

I was just a little scared when CS wouldn't work after I installed the new graphics card... AND I just noticed my sound stopped working... which in turn kept crashing the game...

I picked up new sound card today and it all seems to work just fine now...

My CS is reborn!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Congrats... I have an HP system that is repaired and ready to go with full surround sound and all the goodies I could have sold you! Glad to see you're up and running.

Boss, good to see you back up and posting. :smoke:

I'd blame the 52" screen. But, I know that was never the problem. ;)

cheers

Larry,

Mine is an HP I bought in 2005... I usually buy my computers with much upgrade potential... So, now that I'm a little more stable with location, I upgraded the old system to stretch it out a bit further... Luckily, no major equipment standard changes to limit the upgrade...

I want to buy a new i-7 chip computer, but decided to grind out the most of the one I have.. It means no issues with CS...

I'm just not sure I'll be buying a desktop again... I'm liking the flexibility that a lap top offers... but I still like the capability, upgradability, and cost that a desktop offers...

With my upgrades, the system will be good for another two years I think...

Regards

Jim
