She keeps me pretty young feeling. She's 30, and on the go alllllllll the time.

30? really? i would have never guessed her older than 25... she also stayed young... seems to fit like a glove,eh?

 

[Chicken Patty]

So my output is going to be down a bit, I'm having issues with the T400 (P8600)

What kinda issues?

What kinda issues?

Random BSODs. And this is my main school computer shadedshu (can't take the desktop to classes )
I've tried reinstalling the drivers because my friend with a W500 was having issues and new drivers fixed it, but if that doesn't work I'll nuke and reinstall Win7 (probably x64 this time around)

 

[(FIH) The Don]

tried running a memtest on it?

Not yet, thanks! I'll try that after school

 

[Radical_Edward]

My main rig won't be crunching for about 6 hours today, I'm worried it will heat the room up too much and I can't open the window due to the fact the screen is being repaired. (Don't want my cat going outside.) Plus I won't be home to keep an eye on it, as I have to check in on my father/attempt to locate a computer repair job.

The good news is I almost have my second badge.

 

[neoreif]

Nice one on the badge Radical Edward!

 

[Chicken Patty]

@ION
as don recommended, try a memtest and go from there. Wht kinda RAM that lappy uses?

@RANDAL
congrats on the badge bro.

I'll give memtest a shot in a bit, it's DDR3 (not sure what speed--maybe PC3-13333)

 

[Chicken Patty]

Damn I have no spare DDR3 lappy memory laying around.

I'm not sure if it's the RAM, if it is I'll either pick up some from Newegg & borrow some out of my dad's Thinkpad in the mean time, or RMA with Lenovo (but that would probably take a while)

 

[Chicken Patty]

was just getting ahead of the ball incase

 

[blkhogan]

Got the final stuff to get my #4 running. Should be crunching by tonight. Loading drivers/updates and running stress tests now. Im holding back on #5 for now. Will finish it after I start my new job and get money flowing in again.

 

[[Ion]]

So I tested the memory and HDD of the T400, both of them passed, so if it keeps misbehaving I'm going to reinstall Windows.

Good job Hogan If everything goes right I'll have #3 up and going in about one month or so. Won't be a i7, but it'll be a quad

hmmm, just do it dude. If it keeps misbehaving of course. Did you install anything recently that might be causing this?

Nope, I haven't installed anything new in a couple months.
What do you plan on #3 being? An AII X4, a PII X4, an i5, etc?

Cheapest quad available, probably a Athlon X4. Cheap little mobo with onboard (780G?) and a cheap little PSU. I mean cheap as in price, not cheap as in brand. I have a spare HDD here and some DDR2-DDR3 ram so that's all I need

That'll be the rig I'll be using to give away for the contest then i'll get a i7

Well, I've been impressed with my Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H, it took my X4 955 to 3.9ghz (albeit with insane temps) on my Xiggy 963, I picked it up for $65 from Newegg...if you add some sort of HSF to the vREGs I'm sure you could get it to OC decently...I'm not sure what the max bus speed it'll do is because I did a straight multiplier OC + voltage increase for 3.9ghz

I won't be overclocking it much if I do, I do plan on adding a HS to the vregs just for the sake of the vregs

Well that's good, even at stock speeds I burnt my fingers on them...lesson learned, aluminum heatsink added

 

[blkhogan]

I could have fried and egg on one of my 965 systems. Even with a fan about 3 inches from them they are still very hot to the touch. Need to dry ice them I guess. :shadedshu

I guess our daily updates aren't going to be so good
