Yes the computer is still not fixed :(

Category: General / Tag:  / Add Comment

I wrote this yesterday but I have it set to auto publish today. Anywho, my desktop still isn’t fixed and I’m still on my netbook. In brief we got the motherboard back, got thermal paste for the CPU, put it back together, and the we got the same problem we had 4 weeks ago.

The next day we got a new power supply from BestBuy, a Corsair 650w. Same problem.

So at this point it has to be the CPU. Tomorrow we will be going to Microcenter to pick up a Q9550 for $170. It’s quite a deal.
