Title: My computor is borken, how to fix?
Post by: panda-R on Sat, 07 May 2011, 16:29:21

So like i got this computor, it kinda old. It was passed down many generations since the bamboo age.

It was a dark and stormy night, the computor complained about I/O disk read error. I changing the disk of hardness and reinstall the DOS. Afterwards everything ok for little bit, then IO disk read error again. OH OH! Now I thinking is no disk problem. Maybe is my MOBO? I has changing da sata port the disk plugs into and it da same problem.

This computor for papa panda-R. He don't need to overclock because he usually only watch low bitrate pr0n. Computer is Intel E6300 cpu with 4 jiggabytes of DDR2 ram. Now I looking for the LGA775 mobo but NO MOAR! Only have the mATX boards left with  only da 2 slots of RAM. Cannot satisfy RAM cravings. What recommending to do?

The problem is likely with the memory. Memtest is a memory testing utility.
It takes forever to run.
