[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	windows 7 intel core i7-920 2.66ghz 3gb ddr3 ati radeon hd4850 512mb 1tb hd psu fsp 450w gateway fx 6800-01 After a year of having this cpu the hard drive failed and had to get a new one. then about a year and a half later it starts to mess up again. first it just shut off when i would load swtor then it would turn on for 3-7 secs and shut off again and repeat itself. so i tried all my memory sticks one by one and they all passed. then i took it to staples to have there easy tech dept to fix it and that was a fail. they told me it was my motherboard and then a day later said it was not my motherboard but my OS. so i just picked up my cpu refomatted my OS turned it on and all was good for a day. Then i turn it on the next day and here we go again it shuts off and reboots. so i let it rest because when i do that i can start it and have time to get to cmos or load windows for a few seconds.(before i did the reformat it would go to start up repair dont know if this is because of the reboots)in cmos i checked my temps all good. i was told my PSU should be replaced to a name brand and where it says +12v it should be no higher or lower by .5 which it is at 11.904v. also when i was in cmos my computer did shut off 2 times so i know its not my OS. thats what i read on another site to test it. so any input would be a great help before i throw this thing out the window. thankyou for your time. -----signature----- (none)
