New pc

[Bluelight]

Sorry, must have been misinformed..

I first thought is was 8, but then some dude stated it was 8.2..

So I thank you for clearing that up..

IBM is also a very bad HDD by the way..

I buyght one once, and it lasted 1 month, after that.. No IBM ever..

And Powercolor is not accseptable.. It also lasts very short..

And now.. I was wondering..

Has enyone else had problems with theyr Abit Chipset coolercans on the MoBo's?

I have had 4 MoBo's from Abit my self so far, and all of them used the same fan.. Old and new MoBo's..

And on all of them the fan lasted max. 6 months before making weird sound and then stop running at all..

Thats why I bought Abit AN8 Ultra, because it has no fan at all..

Just a heat-pipe from the Chipset to a cooler placed where you usualy have your COM ports and alike behind the comp.

But this MoBo seems to not work at all..

That surely may be my fault though..

And now I'm just wondering: Always when I make partitions on a HDD is leaves 8MB as unpartitioned space?

For what reason is that?

Abit is actually in court in the US under a class action lawsuit for defective capacitors on their motherboards. Heh.

Funny, just found this text on this site: I received a computer to fix from a friend. The symptoms were common with a hardware problem: Turns on every time, but freeze after 15 seconds of use (usually at windows boot-up). I opened the case and took one good look at the motherboard; sure enough, leaking capacitors:

It's with images and all..

Fits my problem 100%

But still don't know if this is my problem..

Chances are that if you have leaked capacitors, your board is toast.

It's a common problem with low quality motherboards. The only company that I have yet to see leaked capacitors from is ASUS.

Darn, I can't find eny leaking Caps.. Tsk tsk..

What now?
