SO,
This old time ( handicapped) friend of the family buys a brand new computer from me, Her first new PC in 10 yrs.
We take it to her home, Plug in everything, Activate her cable connect and set up her
Express Scribe So she can work at home as a medical transcriptionist.
Plug in her foot pedal control yada yada. Thing works perfect. 2 hrs after we get home, we get a call. The computer is acting up.
OK, whats wrong?
" The keyboard wont type" Im in the middle of a scribe and i need to have it done within 2 days to get paid.
I Run Over there 70 Miles~!! Pick it up , Bring it home, Plug it in and it works fine. So I drop it off again Hook her back up. Everythings great.
2 weeks later. I get a call,
" My Computers acting up, It wont turn on"
I go pick it up,, EVERY Cap on the motherboards BLOWN.
OK, So now, I replace EVERY componet other than the CDRW Drive and floppy.
Reload Everything, Install her scribe junk This PC is really damn nice.
3 weeks later i get a call,
" This G*d D**n Computers not working" It wont turn on.
I went to bed it was on, I woke up it was off And It wont restart."Now mind you this 2nd NEW PC was made from entirely different case/power supply and componets.
OK,, now im really getting upset.
I get the PC here, Motherboards Fried, Does NOTHING!
I Grab yet a 3rd motherboard off the shelf. Another brand entirely Different.
Set her back up,Once again, The PC passes my 24 seal of approval.
1 Hr after I Get Home.
" This PC keeps shutting off after 10 mins or less"
The screen goes black, only the green led is lite, monitor lite turns yellow.
Yet here, It ran 18 hrs of DVD and MP3 Files without a glitch. I Powered Up And Down No Less than 20 times .
Now, This Is Outside my expertise. The Only Constant is the monitor, And Her Foot pedal. a 2 axes 3 button ( Game controler). Utilizing the game/joystick port.
At This point, We have gone threw 3 motherboards, 2 power supplies* 2 AMD 2400XP processors, 2 512 meg PNY Chips*, 2 sony DVD combo Drives* 2 WD 80 gig HDs* Yada Yada you get the picture 2 1/2 computers worth of stuff.
*= All these items test perfect here. and have been run for no less than 6 hrs each. Motherboards are dead.
SO,, tomorrow morning @ 9AM im picking up the PC.
Any Ideas?
