Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

So I ripped out the PSU from work.. but as soon as I got home I took a look at the main power connector... it's the old standard *sigh* I'm such a retard.
I'm planning on pulling a PSU from a computer here at work today. It doesn't have the PCI-E plug for my vidcard but atleast it should get the fans going and start beeping at me for not having a vidcard, right? And if it does, that ought to mean that the PSU is to blame.
Uhm... that's what I did... I tried running it with the bare essentials: CPU, vidcard, memory. It still doesn't want to start up beyond the first few turns of the fans (fan starts spinning and a split second later it stops).
Ok, I've just ripped everything out of the case. I connected power, cpu and memory left everything else on the side. It still wont boot up. Added the vidcard just in case, no difference. So I guess my mobo is fried? (the little power led lights up though)
Here's an old screenshot of my order when I first bought the computer. Should have all the specs:

I guess I could try that, was hoping I could avoid pulling it out though since it's such a pain in the ass hehe. I'll try that out...
Last night I received two new harddrives. I installed these into a CoolerMaster 4-in-3 and slid it into the computer. I then connected power and SATA cables to the drives and mobo. When I was done I pushed the power button and all that happened was that the fans started spinning for half a...
Good thing I checked the forum first. I had trouble earlier because I changed my e-mail and after that was not able to post, kyle fixed it manually for me though (thanks). Naturally I thought this issue was related and was gonna PM kyle again, guess it wasn't.
edit: Wow those sentences sound...
If they were to split every little thing up like that you'd have to spend more time clicking on links to different forums than actually clicking on threads.
edit: Nothing to see here folks... Installing SP1 magically fixed everything. Gotta love windows :rolleyes:
So short story short, I had w2k and decided to give XP a try again just for fun. Installed it and everything went pretty smoothly. Then I noticed that my latest harddrive wasn't showing...
