Hey Guys, I've already read 2 or 3 guys with their 'puter 'crashin. I think I'm on the Hit List.
I'll get back to you when i think it's safe. Yes Danny, IDK if I can post every 'angle of my '63, right now, I'm trying to keep this 'puter breathing, but I think something's going on with the 'puter.....

I've burned out seven old AT motherboards since the beginning of 2007. I had them so I used them.

Earlier this week I bought an Antec ATX case with a 380 watt Antec EarthWatts power supply and put in my Asus motherboard with an AMD 550 MHz K6-2 CPU.

It works really nice except for the Windows ME operating system which is a real clunker, IMHO. Just experimenting with Windows ME on an old hard drive I bought at a local computer shop near NASA's Johnson Space Center as I had never seen it before.

Am currently searching eBay for even more motherboards with CPUs, heat sinks, fans and memory for spares.

I really like building and modifying computers. My ideal computer is completely generic parts, so if I lose a power supply, for instance, I don't have to beg the mighty bloodsuckers at Dell to sell me a new one for ~$500.

something still ain't right, i'll stay on as long the motherboard holds

Dennis,

If you are running Windows, you may wish to run the Scandisk and Defrag utilities on your hard drive and see if that will smooth things out.

Thanks SurfCat, but I think it's BEYOND that. I've had my buddy fix this a few times in the past. The way I see it, it's time for it's 60,000 mile tune up .
