yeah i didn't get back sorry

 

@fycus no i am not using an SSD yet

 

it was the damn cpu overheating. it has been 4 years though. it was like all gone and dry/cracked

 

re-applied the thermal paste and it booted up just fine. from red lights to no lights. i would have expected green but whatever. aftermarket cpu heatsink would have been next step

 

no more dram looping and it recognizes all 6gb of ram now so yay   * \ ( ^ á´— ^ ) / *

bump lots added computer fixed

 

USD stronger, most noticable on more expensive items

apologies, computer is dead, in process of fixing

 

more things to come:

 

- carpe diem black leather shirt (3/4?)

 

- damir doma oversized long silk striped shirt ("44", 44 oversized, 48 true)

 

- julius angora/nylon twist / j-curved trouser (1)

 

- rick owens 09aw silk/rayon ls (xs)

 

- isamu katayama backlash kangaroo suede cropped pant (m)

so uh hoping someone can help me out here:

 

computer just up and died, shut down by itself no warning no blue screen of death. all that was running was a music player and maybe my email client

 

when i tried to restart it, it would just fail. eventually (for reasons unknown) i could get it to boot up in to windows and i could see my desktop for a bit (a minute?) before it crashed again. it will also crash in safe mode

 

upon immediate subsequent attempts to restart it, it will fail faster, often at the motherboard logo screen

 

this, plus the fact that it can successfully boot up (if only for a bit) made me think it was a failed power supply unit. i swapped in my cousin's psu and it failed just the same. i also swapped in another hdd and it failed just the same

 

what do you guys think it could be? i would prefer not to spend a couple bills getting a barebones kit to replace everything if i can narrow it down to one component

 

some history: 

 

gigabyte ga-x58a-ud3r motherboard

 

always had issues with "recovering lost dram size" boot cycling, sometimes just goes away on its own, sometimes playing with voltage setting or swapping ram slots fixes it (currently on default settings, does not loop)

 

connected to a surge protector, but it has been running and killed from storms / power surges a few times

 

also for a while now, i noticed that there is a persistent red light on my motherboard while the pc is on but i have no clue what it does. i have attached a phone image with a crop

 

 

pc is like 4 years old? is motherboard dead? =/

 

 

edit:

 

well fuck. found motherboard pdf, says that is temperature indicator LED, and red is when it is over 80 Celsius. will attempt to use arctic silver thermal paste

several items sold,

 

added cdiem classic raglan longsleeve

 

poplin cotton body with contrast jersey panels (pics to come)
